    Just bodyweight?

    Watched the pretty impressive clip,

    There are some other ones down the side which you can select to watch on you tube. Some of the guys are pretty huge. they must uses weights as well right? Or is it possible to get this big just from doing bodyweight exercises?

    William,

    I am from NYC. I had friends who worked out in the parks and in the streets. I also had friends who went to jail and came back "jacked!" These people who were raised in poverty do not go to a conventional gym and lift weights. Their workouts was largely based on body weight exercises because it was free, cheap, and effective. If some were lucky enough, they would have a home gym: one flat bench, one oly. bar, a few plates, and cheap dumbbells. It is my opinion that the size of these athletes are based on their genetics, high volume training, and eatting a ghetto based diet.

    Ghetto based is White Castle and Brown's Chicken and Pasta. What you wrote is soul food, yummy and nutritious. Not sure which FF was talking about

    You forgot watermellon.

    I'm not sure what a ghetto based diet is either, but I've had oxtail with black-eyed peas and that stuff was great. I'd eat it as often as I could. I'm also a big fan of collard greens.

    yeah, I wish we had white castle here. the frozein ones suck, and Krystal can't hold a flame to white castle. We do have popeye's and church's chicken though.

    On a side note, those pullups were insane.

    In my ghetto house our diet consisted of lettuce and mayonnaise sandwiches. Mmm

    A NYC ghetto diet is a high fat and high carbs, which can come from many sources other than southern cooking aka "soul food". The ghetto dietary foods are cheap, processed, refined, high in salts or sugars and meats are usually not lean, but fatty.

    souse, fried bologna, etc. IMO, that's still southern. It's all the same. but in the south, tea is served sweet.

    I think I may have had their frozen burgers once, tho.

    NYC Ghetto based foods may consist of non-southern foods such as pizza, cheap greasy chinese take out, macdonalds, fast food joints, government cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwich or mayo and white bread sandwich, fried anything foods, canned foods; etc. Southern cooking definitely is a foundation for ghetto foods, but it has evolved into other ethnic foods. Iron, I never had white castle too. I do not think we are missing much, bro.

    It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was going to fight in another fight, away from the first fight.

    Dude,

    Your words may read as prejudice and I think N-word shouldn't be use. Just my point of view and I am not asking you to change yours. My previous comments were not targeted at any particular "race", especially african americans. If I have offended any black americans with my previous comments, please accept my appologies. It so happens there are many diverse racial groups in the urban NYC ghettos and they all eat what I just described. It is not a moral judgement, but just an observation.
