Bar work -vs-Free Weights

[steptwome]

(Bar-Work)Pull-ups, dips and push-ups -vs- Free weights. Which work out would give you quicker and better results? Why?

this happens to be my thing.

my stats 2 years ago - 5'11" - 235 - 36" waist - just. no. good.

my stats today are - 5'11" - 172 - 30" waist - ALL because of running AND pullulps.

forget it - just searched the site and they don't have that bar anymore.

just get some saucony shoes and run, and put up a bar in your bedroom that you can mount on the door frame, plus dedication - you'll be a monster, son.

That's the feed back I was looking for. this is my routine throughout the week. I'll definitely cosign the running cuz that the biggest part of the workout and that gets you lean quick.

It's like asking which is more important water or air. Both.

breathing nor water have i'll side effects, however, free-weights put a damaging strain on joints and cartilage, no?

And running doesn't? BW exercises don't? There's no one training method that is superior to others. It's all about how they are employed.

P.S. You'll drown in water, and breathing the wrong kind of air is like poison. It's not all black and white.

Yes I do. The thing is, you haven't even told us what kind of results you're looking for... And it's hard to give you pointers without knowing your goals, and without knowing what you've tried, and how you've executed.

Training is not something you can boil down to a one line sentence. There's a lot of subtleties and contexts.

touche.

for the thread starter, i spent money on a pair of running shoes and a 30 dollar bar, i'd say, master that like i did and then everything else just becomes easy.
