Classical /fit/ness

It's called being active, fighting wars, eating big and farming faggot. You want to look like an ancient Greek? Go fucking ride an ox and conquer Asia then you will look like a Greek.

they didnt have any magical methods they did a lot of calisthenics, some primitive dumbbell work and wrestling/other sports

Many Greeks rowed in the navy, so you could join a rowing team. Greeks did lots of wrestling, so pick up greco-roman wrestling. They also did shit loads of manual labor given the extent of technology at the time, so go work on a farm or some shit.

Mirin. This ain't a Greek statue tho, is it?

>>39566473

Calisthenics is the way

I know it isn't it's just very astethic. And most greek statues are pretty much destroyed anyway

>>39565793
Dedicate yourself to calisthenics and cardio bro.

>those fingers on the chest

H O W

Just how the fuck did they do these things back then

>>39568649
seen those kids in street workout parks? sure they got 0% bf and can do million of pullups / dips but they look like absolute skinny weaklings, nothing like greek figures. i think they got big either with wrestling or they had some way of increasing resistance maybe doing more advanced gymnastic moves or lifting heavy stuff

I don't think you understand how retarded what you just said is.

Calisthenics is resistance, If you do a a shit tone of pushups chinups dips and squats on top of eating at a slight surplus and doing some of the more advanced stuff those street workout guys do, you will get big.

Period.

>What is progression
If you're doing advanced calisthenics then there's absolutely no reason why you can't make good gains.

lots of cardio, endurance and calisthenics. you're not training for 1RM or hypertrophy. greek soldiers would have trained very similarly to modern soldiers. greeks didn't look like their statues

>>39568769
>>39568954
thats what i said later - advanced gymnastic moves like levers or some shit you cant do million pullups and expect to grow forever sooner or later youll stop seeing gains

>>39569004
The dudes in those greek statues did workout for strength and hypertrophy and athletic performance.
The vast majority of what they actually did was calisthenics. Just like every military man, athlete, and martial artist in the history of the world.

>>39569042
like i said, the statues are not copied from human physiques, they're idealisations. training like a greek wouldn't make any sense.

also for the sake of clarity OP's picture is from the third reich and >>39567447 is from the 16th century. most cool white statues you see aren't greek

>>39569067
they must have based their idealised statues on someone you dummy.
imagine never seeing muscular man in your life - your idealised male form wouldnt look like something you cant know about
and dont use anatomical impossibilities as arguments - artists scuplted it not doctors
greco roman wrestling, calisthenics and sports is the way
