hey /fit/, Im kind of drifting over from /fa/ here. skinnyfat obviously.

Ive been doing CC for a couple days, can't really afford a gym but i pick up some heavy things when i do the squatz to make them a bit more effective.

the reason I want to do this is for strength and fitness but also want to be able to fill out a "small" T-shirt
read: american fatass T-shirt.
will convict conditioning give me enough bulk to do this or should I suck it up and go to a gym even if I dont wanna get bigger than a size S?

Bodyweight exercises can have a huge amount of resistance on them if you do the right ones with correct form. What this mean is, you can put a "load" on a particular muscle greater than what you might normally get with your bodyweight if you are performing a movement that has that muscle in a position where it has less leverage and mechanical advantage.

Now note that "load" is in quotes because some motherfucker is going to say something about how you can't do more than your bodyweight with a bodyweight exercise. Technically if you're a pedantic mouth-breather who lives for nothing but to critique arguments on the internet, this would be true, Again however, the "load" is relative to the leverage and mechanical advantage of the muscle you're trying to train.

The only problem with these advanced BW movements (and some are in CC) is that you need to have some very good overall strength to be able to rep them - so you have to work up to them. Also you will eventually cap out even doing harder movements.

tl;dr - no you will not ever achieve the same mass that a weightlifter would. Yes, you could probably fill out a small.

Honestly you think it will happen a lot quicker than it's going too.

Even if you do achieve this goal, your /fa/ skinnyfat ways will take you right back to where you started in not a long time at all

getting /fit/ isnt a one time thing to fill out clothes, it's a lifestyle

now fuck off

Gyms usually cost $40 a month if you know what you're doing and don't get ripped off. (Remember, they know most people are only going to show up twice and then never come back, so they try to get as much money out of you upfront as possible)
And anywhere from $5-$15 to just walk in off the street and do a quick session.

So spend the 40 bucks, if you go 3 times a week, it pays for itself in 2 weeks.

And why wouldn't you want to get bigger than a size S? What are you a woman?
And on the off chance you are, lifting weights won't get you huge unless you take roids/test.

you can definitely achieve ottermode with CC bodyweight stuff.

So if it's worth taking the extra time and patiently going through the CC progressions (would take you at least a year or so, I guess) you can fill out your T-shirt without paying for the gym.

But if you want quick results, weight training is the best option.

Even if you are not a woman, putting on muscle mass is pretty difficult for a skinny guy who's not used to eating enough.

I am also a skinny guy, formerly auschwitz mode. I put on a few pounds with bodyweight exercises and eating more, but pushups and body weight squats can't do that much for you. If you want a balanced body you have to go to a gym and get your hands on a barbell.

okay cool, good suggestions, I suppose ill try to find the cheapest gym around here.

im not so much skinny from not eating enough, i used to eat 9 (yes nine) mcdonalds sandwiches a day, and was still skinny.

no im not a woman or a faggot, but my clothes are fly and I don't want to buy new ones. ottermode/slightly bigger than ottermode is ideal.

I also posted a couple days ago about having a constant boner after doing squatz. Im actually pretty stoked on all this
