Good thread op i ask the same
yeah probably. I basically did that in the pandemic at home and got good results. I only did 2-3 sets of pushups, chinups and abs and felt stronger going back to the gym
Yeah but you'll probably need some cardio or some shit to get that lean without being muscular. He was literally on steroids at the time. The trick with calisthenics is programming it effectively because things like reps per week or sets per week kind of fall apart with such variable rep ranges.
I made a picture, maybe it helps to see what we are working with. How long would you roughly say it would take me?
>He was literally on steroids at the time.
Oh wow, seriously? I did not expect that.
I do have dumbbells at home! But they "only" go up to 12,5kg. But I thought since I already do chin ups there is no need for curls. Then again, I can switch to pull ups and do curls, since pull ups give you more back gains apparently.
Unless you want to buy more weights, with 12kg i would add lateral raises and front raises, also anything that is still challenging(triceps extensions maybe?), you have very wide hips, so shoulder width is necessary. Also eat at a deficit and hope your body recomps at least a little and loses fat in hips
Thanks for the tips my man
Wtf is this physique
It looks like "on and off gym for a few years, formerly skele"
Skinny Fat, tho not the worst I've seen. Probably looks good with a shirt on and 'fair/ok' with it off.
Fuckin 3 months and he'll look better than 85% of men out there. Sad innit?

2nd the other guy, lateral raises, also do bent over rear delt flys. To make full use of your limited weight, go really slow on the eccentric (weight going down), and fast on the concentric (weight going up). Most of your muscle is built on the eccentric so milking it is your best bet.
>roiding for this
Ikr this was the 70s. Steroids had gotten big in the 60s but there weren't like cookie cutter stacks yet and bb splits were getting just as bad as today where someone writes a book a book and it has nothing to do with their actual routine.
basically just a really good diet and body weight exercises. maybe some dumbbells for curling
All that, and salad - he's just very lean
u prob have this body ur just couple months of starving away
I’d add
> inverted rows
> push-up variations
> dead hangs
> ab and plank variations
3x weekly
You should switch pushups for dips if you're able to do them, if not keep doing pushups for volume and slow dip negatives until you're able to do 3x5 dips.
When you can do like 3x12 you can start alternating between unweighted for volume and dip belt weighted for strength
For some reason dips explode my elbow tendons every time.
Joke thread? why you want to look like this DYEL homosexual?
Suppose one wants to do push-ups daily. How should one handle push-ups? Should you do 4x20, or more sets with fewer reps?
Depends on your starting point and what you want to gain out of them. Different push-up styles affect different muscle groups. You can either do more sets of the same pushup or fewer sets of different push-ups. And then, are you going to be combing them with other exercises or are you solely doing push-ups?
If you’re just starting out, try making a whole body routine. Get your max amount of reps/longest time for each exercise you want to include. You’ll be doing 3-6 sets so lower it accordingly. You generally don’t want more than 30 reps for push-ups, it’s better to modify them and make them harder to keep the reps at about 20-30 max.
Thank you, my max right now for standard push-ups is 20-25 so I’ve been doing 4x20, but I was wondering if I’d benefit more by doing 5-6 x 15 or some other combination.
Furthermore to answer your question I’m also doing a combination of incline push-ups and standard push-ups as well as 15-25lb dumbbells for arms and shoulder exercises.
Not op, but is it worth it to just stuff water bottles or some shit inside a backpack and wear it for weighted pushups?
don't forget holding your hand over an open flame until failure
Yes and bonus points because that matches the character
Extra bonus points if you do it in a tiny crappy apartment
