This is How Gymnasts Build Big Muscles

Exercises that help gymnasts to build huge muscles and get strong.

That is exactly why I love gymnastics. The pure strength in combination with flexibility and complete body control is amazing.

No one seems to consider the fact that these guys' joints, ligaments and tendons are solid as hell too. Some of those straight-arm exercises would destroy most people's connective tissue or dislocate a bone, even if the person had the muscular strength to execute them. That's also what makes these guys amazing - they're bloody near indestructible!

I love bodyweight workouts. You don't feel big but you feel solid.

[Laval]

A gymnast body looks so much more natural and stronger than a body builders does.

They're building syrength to be good gymnasts. The muscle is a by-product.

[Ethereal]

They are not building Muscles, they are becoming a muscle.

As a kid who hated sports, I wish schools had taught more gymnastics instead of making us chase a ball.

Massive respect to gymnasts, they have not only superhuman strength but also exceptional mobility and flexibility

[athletemusician]

Gymnasts are superhuman! It takes sheer raw strength, flexibility, body coordination & balance to do these exercises. They are the strongest pound for pound athletes of all time!

I could feel my shoulder joints dislocating just watching this.

[nicolasciampone]

first I thought 'thats it, gymnastics are like hardcore calisthenics' and then I realised calisthenics is actually soft gymnastics

[bezbos]

Just a heads up, most of these exercises are considered advanced strength exercises and you definitely should NOT jump right into those. There is a bunch of pre-strength work that happens before that and it's mainly consisted of high rep exercises like calf raises, rope climbs, hollow body rocks, etc. Pre-strength also must be accommodated with very good flexibility and mobility.

[alfreddafku]

I really admire gymnasts, they have alot of usable muscle unlike bodybuilders that can barely walk

[diosa.loba]

Amazing what they can do with their bodies.

[johnnycage]

This looks way more enjoyable than lifting dumbbells all day I wish I would’ve gotten into gymnastics earlier

How gymnasts build muscle:

Doing exercises no one else can do.

[tysontntjones]

Focus is strength, flexibility, and power. The muscle is just an awesome side effect.

These guys have everything. The bodies and the performance. I wish they had gymnastics in my school growing up but now I do it as a big part of my routine.
