Let's say one reaches an upper body physique and strength level they are satisfied with. Would doing push ups and chinups/pullups with BODYWEIGHT only like every other day be enough to maintain that muscle mass/physique and strength in the upper body?
Adarq, I notice that you use to squat outside by yourself. Did you ever have any accidents?
youre so unaffected by lack of sleep, sickness, injury
yeah but big upper body and tiny legs makes you look like a fucking idiot.
That is a physical (observable) characteristic of some of the top sprinters in the world: Broad shoulders, narrow hips, relatively long, skinny legs.
Well there are many benefits.
For one, squats build core strength. Secondly, the power you get (whole body power) is still hip initiated in general, and core generated/managed. Thirdly, a good leg strength base is the foundation on which upperbody is based on in terms of good stability for good power generating. And quartedly, the more lean muscle in general you have the more irradiation effect you have.
Where I'm going here is sports. If you do pullups/chinups/pushups etc just for the sake of good looking, then all I said is pretty much nullified.
yeaa ive heard the hormone misconceptions before..and the kid like most of the general population dont care about athleticism
Ok so I have heard a bunch of crap about the bench press and it wrecking shoulders, etc.
My goals are to have a stronger upperbody without injuring anything. I am not too worried about numbers.
What would be better? Weighted Dips vs. Bench
I am looking for a time efficient, progress easily trackable, safe, and best bang for my buck.
I like limiting the number of exercises i use for the simplicity and focus it brings to training, so the one with the biggest bank for my buck is important.
Also I am a basketball player, so I probably won't be tested on the bench, so that is something not to worry about?
Standing overhead press or push press will give you by far the best carryover to performance with the added benefit of healthier shoulders. Bench press will go up along with your ohp or pp so you can kill two birds with one stone. Adding dips as an assistance exercise to the press to get some extra chest and tricep work is good as well if your workout permits.
