TOPIC: How to get nice body without lifting?

How to get nice body without lifting? 10 Oct 2016 19:10 #268374

Now I need to just cope with this. I tried bodybuilding many times, and after 3-4 months of lifting weights, when I come close to competitive weights that I struggle to lift, my spine and neck start hurting very bad. I need good substitution of weightlifting, because my back can't afford free weights, unfortunately. I thought about kickboxing. This sport will allow me to get six-pack plus I like martial arts very much.
Any advices, please.

Body weight exercises maybe? And if you like kick boxing, just do it even if you won't get big

I had an extremely bad neck for years which seemed to go out on a monthly basis when I lifted heavy. After working through that for 3 years I fucked my groin up even worse to the point I can't even bench press or anything so I feel you. Lifting weights was my passion so it hurt a bit.

If you don't desire to be bulky kickboxing (muay thai) is excellent. I did it for 2 years and had the time of my life before I changed cities. It is a great way to meet people too.
I often go swimming now too which is great low impact. Swimming will prevent injuries in other sports too I have found

You won't be "big" without weights, but if you want to look good, the hottest guys were swimmers. Throw in some low rest pull ups and pushups and you'll look good, guaranteed.

Guys, you say "if you don't want to be bulky/big..". Fuck I want! But it seems like bodybuilding is not for me.
But I think martial arts worth trying and it will be much less painful than weights. My back goes against static pressures, but I've never felt pain doing dynamic pressure.

We said you WON'T be, not that you wanted to. If you want a good body, fuck martial arts, do swimming and bodyweight. Much more effective and far less chance of injury.

If you don't lift heavy ass weights you won't reach your size potential. That is physics and there is no way around it unfortunately

Do you have a clinical condition or past injury? If not, it could just be bad form. It's really hard to do bad form on a push up. Do pushups cause you pain? If not, I'd say get someone to show you proper form and get it down first

If you are actually physically impaired then swimming will get you a 6 pack, but more of a cut than adding mass

I was doing calisthenics for over a year and although I was lean and strong, I'm way bigger now that I'm lifting weights.

You most likely have bad form which could be a result of lifting weights that are too heavy for you.

Do you warm up?

How heavy are you lifting/what rep ranges when you start to get pain?

Have you/others thoroughly analyzed your form to make sure it is spot on?

Have you talked to a qualified professional to help diagnose exactly what the problem is?

Have you tried lifting lighter with higher reps and more volume to avoid potential injuries from heavier weights?

Have you tried changing exercises (free weight and machines) to find ones that don't cause pain? (e.g. I never do dips because dips give me serious pain in my shoulders).

There are people with missing limbs, cerebral palsy, scoliosis, and other serious handicaps who still find ways to lift. Assuming you're in decent health I'm sure there's something you can do to alter your training so that you can still lift without injuring yourself, if lifting is important enough to you.

Just some ideas, hope you fix the problemo!

How do you feel when you use machines? I hardly even use free weights on some days, they aren't nearly as necessary as everyone makes them out to be in regards to "getting big".

Your progress is far more dependent on your diet (caloric intake being the major differentiating factor), and your hormone levels.

Training is simply to stimulate and breakdown the muscle for rebuilding and growing with proper nutrition (and possibly hormonal support). I could gain 20+ quality pounds in the next 6 months if I wanted to using only hammer strength machines simply through diet and hormonal manipulation.

Go to the gym and make a workout revolved strictly around lighter weight with high intensity, very small amounts of rest times, and mainly aiming to get a ridiculous pump in the muscle (flush as much blood into the muscle as possible via higher reps with perfect form). I surmise that if you use machines and keep the weight light you should be able to still continue making progress.

E.g. for chest day instead of doing bench press, db presses, db flies, etc. I'd do something like Incline hammer strength, then another chest pressing movement on another machine, then seated flies on a machine, and then maybe another fly machine at a different angle, then burnout with as many pushups as you can do. 4 sets of each exercise, going for 12-20 reps. Should be light enough to keep you injury free and pain free, but also get a killer chest session in.

Martial arts won't make you big. It's mostly cardio and you burn serious amounts of calories.
