I just did 30 pullups, not all at once followed by 50 close hand pressups, not at once and I am feleing way more sore than when I hit the weights, is bodyweight better for pumps and strength gains, I heard you cant pack mass on this way though??

Bodyweight's ok is you got no access to free-weights, but if you want size gains, hit free weights focusing on big compound lifts.
I went from fighting at 65kg in 2007 to being 83kg in 2010 by lifting two fullbody days a week religiously. I'm back down to 76kg now as I'm grappling a shitload more and not lifting as much.
But this is what I had huge strength gains with, included my 1rep max:
Day 1
Bench 5x5 (1rm 82.5kg)
Squat 5x5 (1rm 122.5kg)
Rows 5x5 (1rm 92.5kg)
Day 2
Deadlift 5x5 (1rm 152.5kg)
Military Press 5x5 (1rm 65kg)
Chins/pullups variations 5x8-10

Yeah I was doing heavy compound lifts up until recently but i got bored, I was doing deadlifts, squatts bench, dips(weighted) etc but it gets stale after awhile.
I have a new goal of reaching 50 consecutive pullups by next january, should be doable.

Not bad for a vegan, except your bench, what's with that?
Imagine how strong you'd be if you dropped the hippy diet and ate tasty, tasty flesh.

Wha? 82.5kg 1rm is good for someone whos bodyweight is 76kg. By any standard!
Jan 19 2012 22:18
HAHA if you think that bench is poor I cringe to think what people would say about mine.
Jan 19 2012 23:26
It seems low compared to your deadlifts. 3:4:5 is I think the typical ratio of bench/squats/deads
Jan 19 2012 23:28
I just have much stronger legs and back than upperbody!

Your a legend who appreciates good beats and could probably drop some insightful words when stoned, this means you have biceps of the mind and can deadlift the entire spiritual world, jeez I kinda rambled on, I should probably end this now
Well... bout time to be hittin the old dusty trail.

weights are an aside for me, i grapple 4 times a week so that's very much my focus as I started competing again recently
Can comment on articles and discussions
I'd be careful about disclosing such information, purple aki might want to touch your biceps! lol
