calisthenics + steroids

[Deleted member 429137]

right here



I don't know if you guys have heard of the Methode Lafay, a French calisthenics bodybuilding program, but I've been waiting for it to be translated to English for awhile. I really want to read it.

It's incredibly popular in France and it has the most transformation before/after pictures I've ever seen one system have.

Most of the guys who do it look exactly like you'd expect calisthenic guys to look like, but some of them look like absolute mass monsters and I'm going to say they're clearly on steroids.

But then there's a class of inbetween people that leaves me wondering. They look like gymnasts and not lithe calisthenics guys.

Here are some of the before and after pics.

I was trying to find out about this a few years ago. Never really got anywhere other then that there are 13 levels.


Here is a link of a guy explaining it:

Any idea how it differs from the programs that can be found on Gymnastic Bodies?

The US just started cracking down on internet marketers within the last few years for phony reviews, bogus claims, etc. I guess France is behind the curve.

Anything + steroids will build muscle.

They both focus on calisthenics progressions and pairing flexibility work with each strength lift.

Gymnastic Bodies has mobility work that I don't think Lafay does.

Gymnastic Bodies uses a basic 3-weeks-loading / 1-week-deload cycle that's basic powerlifting periodization. Lafay is all about adding reps and is a high-rep program, frequently working beyond failure with rest-pause work. Similar to HIT. Gymnastic Bodies goes for strength.

There is no skill work in Lafay.

And I would imagine that Gymnastic Bodies is just much more well-rounded in terms developing strength and flexibility in the entire body.

Steroids + jacking off = a left forearm that would make Popeye envious.

Holy shit, that's the guy in the video I posted in the OP. Here's is more of him.

I'm calling steroids and even weightlifting on him.

Your link has some great examples of what I'm talking about, though.

I want to call steroids, but I don't know enough about them. This last guy I posted with the pink watch looks like a clear case of roids to me.

They just had to omit the faces, did they?

For those who fall prey to this kind of bullshit, I've got some Herbalife supplements *cough*memberships*cough* I'd like to sell to you.

Oh! Where have I seen this before?

Oh yeah:

Fyi: Charles Atlas didn't develop his physique by following his routine. He got it from weightlifting.

 

[Chad R. Thundercock]

But wait! There's more! Call now, and you can get a second dose of bullshit for free!

Hire a bodybuilder who lifts weights + record videos/take photos of said bodybuilder using my stupidass tension machine = $$$!!!

Fuck Arthur Jones too.

 

[Chad R. Thundercock]

Call within the next 10 minutes and we'll throw in this mini scoopful of bullshit for no extra cost!

Remember this fuckface, old timers of f13?

I also do not understand why OP would have questions about this training method and the seemingly impossible results its practitioners post on the internet. OP must be a gay homosexual , imo.
