and I follow this one, except I do something out of new routine instead of L-sits: https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommended_routine_2017 https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommend...
The only thing that is necessary is a bar for pull-ups and around an hour of your time two or three times a week.
- chevill 5y agoI used to be really into body weight fitness (actually need to start it back up again). However, they still recommend most people get weights and a set of plates because there are very limited options when it comes to doing leg exercises.
- sexy_seedbox 5y agoWeighted calisthenics is even better. You can get huge legs doing weighted pistol squats and reverse nordics.
- chevill 5y agoI've been trying off and on to work on doing pistols. I think the primary reason people suggest a set of weights and a traditional weightlifting leg routine is because its pretty difficult to develop the strength and balance to do pistols even without weight. I got to the point where I was doing squats with an 80lb weight vest and holding another 70+ pounds of kettlebells and I still wasn't anywhere near strong enough to do unweighted pistols. Gonna keep trying though.
- hawski 5y agoThat's why I follow more the old routine. It seems to be simpler for me and it worked good enough at least for know.
