Greetings to all.
I started doing bodyweight exercises/calisthenics around 2 months ago after i noticed my calf muscle became bigger due to running while my body is little bit skinny.

My current limits
10 pull ups
10 chin ups
25 push ups
8 dips.
10 legs raise
After that i start running around 3 or 6 km depend on my free times and redo all the exercises again after finishing the run. 2 or 3 times perweeks.
Sometimes at home practising how to do handstand without wall.
Learned from youtube channel thefotress but still far from what he suggest ( 25 pullups, 25 leg raises,70 pushups etc).

That's not too bad for 2 months work.

About the youtube channel thing,... is that per set or total reps?  hmm.gif

per set, if total reps i can do more than 25 btw.
this is the youtube video I mentioned but actually I never really follow the suggestion.
I never did squat/pistol squat. I think my running and occasional hiking is enuf for legs training.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Time, consistency, genetics, food = growth and improvement.
You're doing fine.

Thanks,
For now I try my best to be consistent. I managed to lost my weight only by running without change my diet.
Actually during my teens and early twenty I was active as rugby player for school and college. Joined cadet and wataniah and never skip the training
Become lazy and heavy smoker after start working . I want to regain my long lost endurance and stamina.
Now already past 30, I can feel that my body not as good as before. recovery also become slow.

Sorry for not explain further, actually 25 pullups, 70 pushups and etc is target how much you can do after 1 year or before you can try advance calisthenics move and not straight away.

Yups, that my primary intentions to begin with. To build my endurance and stamina. I better hit the the gym and lift if i want to build a muscle and strength. I think later i will add swimming in my trainings but not untill at least i can run around 20km. Currently 7 km is my limits. Btw after one months, my current limits is 15 chin up, 12 pull ups, 12 dips and i rarely doing push ups nowadays.
Owh, finaly my 6 pacs is visible....

12 reps per set in perfect form possible ( not using body or legs momentum and my chin over the bar ). after that start to run (3 - 7 km), rest for a while and re do for second set until failure.
Just like i mentioned before, my target is 25 reps perset after a year. dunno achievable or not. life's getting busier. already 4 months in this body weight training things.
its not that i exercises everyday btw. 3 or 4 times per week and sometimes less.

u r so strong bro,4 months can achieve 12reps.  i m also working on it~ but can only manage to do 6 per set~
25reps? R u serious.... haha

How many sets do u think i should do ? Or i just do my max rep ?
*
25 reps per set are still normal compare to the suggestion from an article about crossfit i read before on bb.com, 100 reps per set

Just do the max reps and try until your overvcome the limits.
Actualy i never set the limit, 12 reps perset is my average, sometimes less and sometimes more, i just immitate what the crossfit guys do, do it until vomit( literally).
Sorry if i sound like bragging myself out.
Try search and watch youtube video from athleanx, how to do more pull ups.
Currently on mobile, cannot link the video...
