What is better Calisthenics or Weight Lifting?

 In this article, I will argue for both sides of this topic and want to hear what you guys have to say about it as well.  I will lay out the benefits of why I believe each side is better and will not take one side over the other.

To start, let's talk about why Calisthenics is better.  Firstly, I want to describe what calisthenics is: it is pretty much bodyweight workouts requiring many compound movements.  Calisthenics is better because it requires little to no equipment and you can save a lot of money by doing this.  As well as that, this type of working out is so much better for weight loss compared to weight lifting.  Since calisthenics requires a lot more movement, it is much easier to burn fat and strengthen your muscles.  We are not all trying to look like bodybuilders and calisthenics will give us that cut physique that we are looking for.  Also, these movements are a lot more common in things like sports or physical activities so this will give us an edge if we are still competing in those.  So, calisthenics is better for weight loss, burning unwanted fat, and also giving you the best physique that will not be too bulky.


The other topic, weight lifting, is pretty self-explanatory.  I think everyone knows what I am talking about when I say this.  This type of workout will single out different muscles and is a much better way of growing stronger.  As well as this, you will also be able to see improvement in everyday life.  You will be able to lift things easier, and also for athletes, you need to be strong in order to excel in your sport.  Weight lifting is also a great way to burn unwanted calories and will also burn fat.  As well as this, with weight lifting, you will grow bigger.   So weight lifting is better because of the strength you gain from it and also you will gain mass in your body while burning fat.

The Problems with Exercise Equipment in Particular Hammer Strength

There are many reasons people do not work out, however, I think that one of the main issues is the price of some of the exercise equipment.  One company in particular that I want to talk about is Hammer Strength.  This company is overpriced machinery and yet you still see their products everywhere.  Here are just a few of the machines or pieces of equipment with their price point: Hammer Strength Olympic Flat Bench ($2,249) Hammer Strength VKR Vertical Knee Raise ($1549)  This is a product that I think you could build with stuff laying around your house Fixed Barbell set 20-60 pounds ($1549) These prices are absolutely absurd and a company like this can build these machines for a fraction of the price and then up-charge like crazy.  As well as this, you think if you were to spend that much money on a piece of equipment, you would get it in a few days.  No, it will take at least two weeks and could even be four.   The main product that caught me by...

My story about Exercising Again and How I overcome the difficulties in front of me

 This post is going to be a little bit different and tell the story of what happened to me and why I started to exercise.  I hope my story will push you to work out or show you how it is possible to lose weight. I think it is important to mention that in High School, I was always playing sports or working out so when Covid first hit I did not know what to do.  I was in college and was liked in our apartment with nothing to do.  So what do all college kids do?  We were playing video games all day and then on the weekends would start to drink.  These two things do not go well with each other when you are not having any sort of physical activity.  So, this was on for a few months, and I hadn't noticed any change until I stepped on the scale.  This was the heaviest I have ever been in my life and I was in really good shape at one point and was very muscular.  So I knew I had to do something about this.  Two things really motivated me to work...
