So I don't have access to a gym now but I will in the future. In short, I'm looking for a retard-proof calisthenic workout. Here are a few exercises I'd like to start with (no more than seven, no less than three); pushups, burpees, pull up, lunge, and bicycle ab workout.

Goals: willpower, aesthetics, prep for compact lifting in the future

body: skinnyfat

diet: I'm all good on that front

I fell out of lifting after my best friend and I got into a fight. I only have a pull up bar and a shitty body. Just looking for a very small handful of exercises that are well-balanced

So you already know which exercises you want to do, and you already know how many reps you want to do. Why did you make this thread?

To see if the routine I outlined is out of balance or can be amended.

This "routine" seems pretty retarded if you ask me. This isn't realistic or useful progression, some of the levels in these movements change which muscles are worked. If you do the leg work outlined there, you'll have shit anterior development and too much posterior chain development. The ab work is stupid, drop it. It's stupid to do pull ups instead of chin ups if you have literally zero bicep work other than that.

You should really just go straight to using weights and a real proven program. If this is your idea of a routine, then I don't have much confidence in you when you say that you're all good on the diet front. If that were true, you wouldn't be skinny fat.

Here's what I would do if I woke up tomorrow and I had the misfortune of looking in the mirror and seeing your face (and all weights in existence disappeared):

Eat at a 500 calorie surplus. 1g protein per lb body weight. Hopefully you're already doing that.

Routine: calisthenics lends itself well to volume per unit time training. It would be fun to do Vince Gironda style training and progression, where you would be training with relatively light resistance but with short rest between sets. Instead of doing more reps or weight to progress, you would rest for 5s fewer between sets after each workout that you hit all the desired reps/sets. You'd start at 60sec, and then work your way down to 15sec before doing something to slightly increase the difficulty. Again, I don't recommend the "levels" in your pic. Hold a 10 lb weight or something instead.

For your actual movements, here's what I would do, broken down by body part.

>CHEST: Decline pushups with your feet on a chair. Keep your shoulders pulled as far back as you can for the whole movement to make them difficult and to Target the chest and not the shoulders. Don't use a wide grip, use shoulder width or diamond grip. You can throw in other variations, but this would be the main one I'd use.

>SHOULDERS: Pike pushups, preferably with feet raised on a chair. This should hit your anterior delts pretty well, medial delts kinda well, and hardly hit your posterior delts at all, so to keep balance, get some resistance bands, maybe ones rates at 20 lbs for this. Do band pull aparts for rear delts and step one foot on the band and pull the ends up slowly to do band lateral raises. Don't bother doing anterior delt assistance.

>UPPER BACK: One major weakness in your pic is that it doesn't differentiate horizontal pulling from vertical pulling. For vertical pulling do chin ups. For horizontal pulling do those inverted rows, maybe with a backpack on to make them challenging.

>LOWER BACK: Good mornings with a weighted backpack could work. Pistol squats are pretty good too, and also hit quads, but will probably be too hard for you at first.

>QUADS: Do normal squats while wrapping your arms around something heavy you can find. Maybe a backpack full of rocks or a sandbag. This should simulate a front squat.

>CALVES: Single leg calf raises. Probably best to just rep out 100 for each leg as quickly as you can with breaks of a few seconds as needed.

Continued next post.

>HAMSTRINGS: I don't have a fucking clue for this. Get creative with your resistance bands? Maybe hang from something by your ankles and pull yourself upwards by curling your legs? Just do something.

>TRICEPS: Take the resistance band and wrap it around both sides of a doorknob on an open door, securing it at waist-height. Kneel in front of it, facing away from the door, with your torso bent down, head almost touching the floor. Hold the ends of the resistance band and with your elbows on the ground in front of your head, extend your forearms toward the ground. This is basically a band bent over tricep pushdown. Forget dips because you already will be getting decent tricep activation from shoulder and chest work, and you really aught to do something to hit the long head of the tricep, which this will do very well.

>BICEPS: Use that resistance band to do hammer curls as isolation. Your chins should be the main movement to develop your biceps, though. If you can't do chins, do negatives til you can.

Your routine could be something like this, in this order. If your work capacity is low and the volume is too much for you to recover from, drop a set from each movement.

Monday:

>3 sets quads

>3 sets chest

>3 sets inverted rows

>2 sets band bicep curls

>1 set band pull apart so

>1 set band lateral raises

Wednesday:

>3 sets lower back

>3 sets pike pushups

>3 sets chinups

>2 sets band pull aparts

>2 sets band lateral raises

Friday:

>3 sets quads

>3 sets chest

>3 sets inverted rows

>2 sets hamstrings

>100 calf raises per leg

The rep ranges are flexible since it's hard to control the resistance with perfect accuracy. Pick something in the 6-15 range for the major muscle groups and 10-25 for the minor muscle groups. Use the progressively shortened rest times as progression.

This is what I'd do, OP. But I'll luckily never be you and I'll never be such a faggot that I do calisthenics when weights are an option.

Convict Conditioning.

Do all six exercises in a row on each workout, at whatever level you're at for the progressions.

OP here, this is what I'm looking for. Got any info graphics? I googled the guy. check it:

"I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when see the current generation of men duped into handing over a fortune in overpriced gym memberships and for weights and other exercise gadgets, all in the hope of becoming strong and powerful. I want to laugh because I admire the con trick for what it is - a perfect grift. The fitness industry has duped the whole world into thinking it can’t get by without all this equipment; equipment it then sells to the mark, or rents out at exorbitant prices (in the case of gym membership). I want to cry because it’s a tragedy; the average modern trainee - who is not on steroids - makes little gain in size from year to year, and even less progress in true athletic ability."

Got a pdf or infographics, anon?

>Rest in peace Granny

I laughed really fucking hard at this picture. Later I got a call that my grandmother had past away, and I was a little sad. Then I came back to /fit/, saw that picture, and laughed really hard again.
