It seems to be a lot of guys here who are only interested in lifting weights and trying to get huge af, BUT are there any bar athletes here? I find myself slowly gravitating towards the pull up/ parallel bars rather than the bench press. Already got muscle ups, walking pull ups, and back lever. Cur…

Im too fat to do those and even when I was thin I was still heavy for my height so they were not my favorite thing to do. Id rather lift a keg over my head, throw it, pound my chest, then grab my woman and bring her home over my shoulder like the good old days. Such a shame we dont live in caves

I plan on mixing calisthenics with weight training to get benefits of both, but I have recently looked at incorporating more in and have just bought some parallel bars for my garage. What progressions did you do to get to a stage you could do a back lever and muscle up. I feel like I am getting clo…

Bar artist? Is that an actual thing? Why aren’t then olympic weighlifters called “barbell artists”? On a serious note, after almost 20 years of lifting weights, I’ve been doing only bodyweight stuff for the last 4 years. The staple of almost every workout I do is a ladder superset of pullups/dips/…

Honestly back levers and muscle ups are mostly about technique. It took me a month the get muscle ups down. First time I actually did I did 3 consecutively. When your chest get high enough above the bar just throw your chest over to transition into the dip. Back levers it took me about 2 months to…

I love calisthenics! They make feel limber, athletic, and strength to weight ratio is important I feel. I don’t do muscle ups or levers but I do a ton of the basics. I follow 531 so I do the main lift with whatever variation I’m doing at the time then pump out on pull ups( which I use as super set b…

I think this guy qualifies as a bar artist. [image] Bodyweight Training Video, Any Feedback Welcome Bigger Stronger Leaner Hey guys, first time poster here putting up a video of a guy I work with. He isn’t exactly computer savy, and asked would I find a reputable body bui…

I thought bar artist was a polite name for a porn star.

One issue I’ve always had with these types of workout is the limited leg work. If we’re training bodyweight only, the most challenging lower body progress will be, what, pistol squats? The exercise variety just isn’t there like it is for the upper body, unless I’m missing something. For sure, you c…

Chris, that is what I thought too, but… First, there are numerous ranges of motion that bodyweight is more than enough for most adults when they first start out (especially if they have done a lot of traditional lower body strength work, which is very linear in nature). These for example: …

I’m a bar athlete I guess, I started lifting at 16 I’m 32 now. For awhile I didn’t have access to weights so ended doing calisthenics. I was inspired a guy named king on YouTube. Believe it or not I got jacked just from Cali’s, people thought I was on roids when all I was using was creatine. My rou…
