I look like a T-rex waist down and ottermode waist up but my upperbody has far more relative strength.
Calisthenics is curse and a blessing.

good stuff mate, mirin the pull up strength. Age and BW?

>>38728990
How the fuck do you measure your strength at barbell exercises if you're doing calesthenics exercises?

>>38729082
Did you even look at the image he uploaded lol? read what exercises are taken into account

> He says he doesn't train with barbells
> Has decent lifts

I am skeptical of this.

You alright there m8?

>>38729082
I have a family gym membership and I just go occasionally to "max out" aka egolift.

I'd just much rather do my actual training at home or at a park.

>>38729114
You to pay about 5$ too

>>38729117
maybe he mainly does cali with a few barbell movements?

>>38729131
i would for sure pay, would be cool tracking lifts on an app with a nice UI and stats

>>38729140
Read >>38729120

Call it what you want but my training is 99% calisthenics or weighted calisthenics. Whether I lift a barbell once a month doesnt affect me much other than me bragging about my bench to non lifter friends.

These threads are pointless.

The only stats that count are ones set at an accredited powerlifting meet.

Sorry lads.

>>38729170
why's that fag?
some of us want to get stronger without going to a meet up of overweight autistic fucks who don't have much else going on in their lives

I'm sorry you struggle to realise not everyone gives a fuck about having an accredited lift and goes to the gym for general fitness and performance

>>38729191
> I'm sorry but you struggle to realise that nobody performs the lifts correctly.

>>38729211
Who cares? If someone squatted 5 plates in a powerlifting meet and then another guy quarter repped 5 plate and they both posted here what difference would it make to you?

>>38729211
If they are increasing weight with the same form and gaining muscle in desired locations they are preforming them "correctly" for their individual goals you fat neckbeard

>>38729170
>thing need to be recorded for them to be real

How did you get so strong in two and a half years?

I kept cutting excessively for months on end which just made me weaker and for no gains.

>>38729103
Le me

>>38729361

> Hurr durr, established criteria are useless for comparing strength.

Strength anon, this is what this thread is about. If we go by your logic the whole sport of PL should be wrapped up today.

Go and post in a CBT thread.

>>38729656
I have been lifting just randomly for about 6 years and my job is very physical. These last couple years i lift constantly and keepntrack of everything systematically.

Triceps make up most of your arm anon.

Just work on that bench.

>>38729707
I know. Im so scared of elbow pain tho :*(

>>38729721
I've never had elbow pain.

I get a stabbing pain in my shoulder around my clavicle when I flare though.

>>38729721
Maybe your squat form is causing elbow pain, I've had that...

Are you low bar?

All these full teal men in sub 6 months and I'm here just out of BluMan lifting since March

Why did I have to be born skinny/skinnyfat

>>38729888
> born skinny

You just didn't eat.

The sad fact is the fatsos will have more muscle mass than auschwitz. The process for gaining muscle and the process for gaining fat are inextricably linked.

>>38729967
Dude I wish I was a fatso but I just always had a fast as fuck metabolism.
Fatties get in 6 months the progress I will in 2 years
I've always been the guy that my friends and family were in awe of how much I ate.
I just had to binge on shit food for 1 year to gain weight, now my metabolism is kind of under control. I can gain weight with just 3400 cals. Progress is still shit thou
The skinny guys dont eat meme is not always true
