A flow :
Leverages are hilarious. Bodyweight is a tad shy of 270.
By widening my pushup hand position just slightly (a thumb length on each side), before I know it I’ve done my 46 mantra reps seemingly without effort.
Caring not one iota for bodybuilding type aesthetics, I’ve developed into an uncommon blend of builds…something of a defensive lineman built by military PT type calisthenics.
I feel the best way to build up truly is with full body, high rep calisthenics, done daily.
That’s your base of stimuli.
Food is eaten normally, a little more, or less based on what you want to see happen on the scale and factoring in activity levels.
I like the 1950s approach. It ain’t a special diet. It’s the wholesome foods you’re already eating just in a variable amount.
I’m not going to limit myself to chicken breast and rice. I’d rather be more normal in a prior time’s sense.
This shows in my training style.
Calisthenics always are accessible. I like that. You can’t take the tools away.
Calisthenics are the full body base. Other tools are added in as available to add variety to and/or to speed up the process.
5 or 10 minutes of physical work, even a moderate amount will be enough, alongside reasonable eating to be good physically.
Men don’t need to be lean and pretty, nor comically large.
Training and eating reasonably will have you built like a man. Built like a man unconcerned with minutia or the opinions of others.
Instinct. Its comical really how so much of this is embracing and acting by instinct.
Aesthetics? Grow your beard if you can. Have body hair. Be strong. Eat hearty. Train consistently.
