Bodyweight exercises?

You can use those legs to walk your lazy ass into the gym. The entire purpose of the Red Pill is to cultivate masculinity via hardship. And here you are telling me that the first rule of Red Pill is to hard.

I mean does anyone see the irony here?

Just go to the gym. Why don't you like it? It is the best way by far to get the body you want. Any other method is just a waste compared to the gym.

I say definitely yes. Don't listen to people who tell you otherwise, the advice on this sub regarding this is suboptimal.. ESPECIALLY if you haven't build any strenght yet and are underweight. And if you're skinny-fat then definitely DON'T do lifting.

Do squats for ur legs/ass, do pushups, do leg raise and buy yourself a bar to do chinups.

Check out skinnyfattransformation.com . Myself I am not skinny-fat, I am skinny. But this site saved me tons of time. The dude has very simple approach that spoke to me measures because 1. Lifting, programs, counting calories is way more complicated than it needs to be, bodyweight exercises are not 2. I had very little money 3. I had no strenght. I was <60kg at 188cm, why the fuck waste money on weights when my body does fine? 4. bodyweight exercises are underappreciated and undervalued. The dude on the site should be some kind of Bodyweight Red Pill example, he turned his life around by mere determination and research.

It's simple bro you can build muscle with bodyweight exercise and anybody arguing that is simply wrong. However if fear is truthfully the only thing holding you back from gym and as a redpilled man you need to be honest with yourself, then it is stupid for you to miss out on going over fear and important for you to progress as a man and push yourself out of your comfort zone. You can build muscle either way but just be honest with yourself on why you don't want to go to the gym. Seems like the general consensus on here is that if you go to the gym and look at your phone for an hour it automatically puts you over a naturally muscular guy who has never stepped foot in a gym.

Bodyweight exercise are great ALONGSIDE weight training but under no circumstances are bodyweight exercises a replacement for weight training.

You can try skipping rope.

If you really are dedicated to doing just bodyweight exercises (personally I'd recommend hitting some weights, but alas...) you'll have to do a shit ton of reps. You're already doing push ups and pull ups which is good. I'm assuming you have one of the door frame pull up bars. Make sure you're switching up your grip too. Additionally, for lower body you could do some air squats, lunges, or split squats. With any of those, you could add an explosive element to them. Don't forget to throw in some core work too.

What stops you to buy some dumbbells and stuff?

Advice form old fitness, but new non-native english speaker ASKTRP guy:

I would suggest to get the right mindset about fitness first. My own mindset is (take what hits on your situation):

Know your body, know what muscle weight and strength your frame actually can handle
Know at what amount of muscle your body looks healthy without looking overcompensating or straight skinny/weak. Try to achive your ideal looks, not the most powerful, muscular one.
Its not healthy to do sports for solely women approval. Love your body, do it for yourself
Get a competitive attitude towards sports: Run or Cycle or do some other sports which fits your body, where you have a slight edge. And try to be better than other males. Its much-much more fun for the competitive minded. Choose a sports with heavy women participation: running-trail, running, cross fit an a co-ed gym.
Doing competition will rise your confidence level.

For me, I always thought /and sure I am correct/ its a better conversation subject to talk like: * Yeah girl, you are right, I am doing trail running and cycling, mostly trail running. I also participate at local competitions. I really like it, I have time to order my thoughts, I am int the nature and gaining lean muscles and I also like the thrill of competition.

Now back to your original question: Body-weigh exercises will not lead to substatial weight/muscle gain. If you dont overeat yourself, you will get healthy lean muscle, but no real additional muscle weight.

Best BW exercises are: * different varieties of push-ups

pull ups/ chin ups
burpes

Thats the basics. This three give tremendous fitness if done in the right amount...

The only serious BW-leg workout are one-legged pistol squats, but I dont recommend this one. If you really want to get muscular legs, than normal, external weight squats are the way to go...

Yeah bodyweightfitness on reddit has everything you want they even have an app.

Pistol squats, Single Leg Hamstring Curls with a big swiss ball (do it in focusing only on hamstring movment, with keeping all your torso straight and contracted like for deadlift). Start with low calve on the ball, not you shoe, if not the end of the movment will be too easy. Litterally raise all your body weight with one hamstring. You must pull throught the ball with your heel and your ass must be over the ball at the end of movment, not under like you see on nearly all video (way too easy). Heel and ass at same height over the ball at the end. (this man is doing right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3EeeA6L3YQ for exemple)

These 2 must be mastered, even if you go to the gym.

you can very easily build muscle using pullups and pushups and/or dips.

These ignorant brainwashed gy rat fanboys saying that bodyweight exercises are inferior to weight lifting are wrong.

In fact, some even argue that bodyweight exercises are better for aesthetics because it's impossible to cheat progression by gaining fat like you can in heavy weight lifting. As a result, you force your body to improve its relative strength, which is the most important thing for an aesthetic physique. Weight lifting, unlike calisthenics, depend on absolute strength, which is not an indication of an aesthetic body.

There are some theories and research being done on the idea of the "testosterone bank" for naturals. Basically what the term testosterone bank means is that if you're a natural, you can only pick one very specific goal when it comes to fitness because you don't have enough testosterone to fuel more than one goal. It's the reason why it's impossible to find transformation pictures for strong lifts and starting strength: the natural's body does not have enough testosterone to cure the CNS fatigue AND build muscle tissue.

Aside from that, the vast majority of commercial gyms I have seen have a very toxic environment. Too many steroid users, insecure men, and whorish women. They don't have serenity. If you wanna lift or something find yourself a COMPETITIVE boxing or martial art gym, people there tend to have good characters most of the times.

For the "avatar of brodin" GayLubeOil: Calisthenics are much more stressful and tiring than most weight lifting routines out there. Do me 5 supersets of maximum pullups and dips with 90second rest in between and come report how easy it was.
