    Exactly. So to say its bull**** is bull **** and to say he has no foundation for his statement is bull****. Works both ways

    What he is implying IS bull****. Lifting weights doesn't hurt you unless you do something wrong. The only way actual weights can hurt you is if they fall on you. It always comes down to the individual's errors.

    I've been lifting weights for around 7 years or something now and there is only one injury that springs to mind, which was a complete fluke. I have been injured running, walking, boxing, playing football etc a hell of a lot more times than from weights.

    He has no foundation for his claims and neither do you.Someone has filled yours and his head with stupid **** about weights.
    Only thing i have to say to both of you is educate yourself.
    I have been working with weights for 10+ years now and my injuries come from playing basketball and soccer.I have never injured myself while lifting weights.It only improved my health.

    :good

    All my worst injuries have come from soccer. Strained ligaments in knee+ankle. Never been injured lifting or boxing, excepting blaak eyes which are in no way debilitating.

    I think so. I mean it's hard to find sources, but a lot of people end up getting hip replacements and all that.

    Take a look at advanced calesthenics.

    Take a look at Hannibal is King. Dude is built better than anybody using weights.

    Yes, it does have to do with genetics, but that doesn't mean you can't reach YOUR genetic potential with advanced calesthenics.

    If it was me, I'd say go with calesthenics and pylometrics.

    You'll gain size, but you'll have true, tendon strength and healthy joints. You'll look better too.

    Do some youtube reserach. They got some guy that makes videos who was a big time weight lifter that then switched to calesthenics and looks way better.

    Ladies and gentlemen, we finally have a new Ylem to laugh at. :lol::lol::lol:

    Are you really that ******ed you don't understand that a muscle can just grow or shrink? It makes no difference if you use weights or bodyweight, it doesn't affect how the muscle looks. And you cannot reach your full genetic potential, muscle mass wise or strength wise, without weights.

    You're so ignorant on the subject it's embarrassing.

    I know for a fact you can't do a one armed pull up or one armed handstand pushup, so you still got ways to go.

    Like I said, I lifted heavy ass weights for a long time, but for fighting and everyday life, I feel advanced calesthenics are better for you.

    You also look better because you don't got all that puffy, fake ass muscle.

    How could you possibly know this for a fact? Why even bring these up, being able to do either proves nothing...

    That's known as an opinion. You have your right to give your opinion, but saying weights are bad for you is plain wrong.

    Please explain, from a scientific standpoint, how the body knows the difference between doing bodyweight workouts and weighted.

    I'm guessing you're talking about myofibrillar hypertrophy compared to sarcoplasmic, though I'm fairly sure you have no clue what I'm referring to.
