hey /fit/this question didnt deserve a full thread, but there's no help threadim a 68kg 185cm 24yo guy that getting into calisthenicsi dont wish to become huge, i like being skinny, but i have some loose skin from when i used to be obese as a child (with some fat in the middle)my training consists of >10 push ups>10 australian pull ups>10 pistol squats each leg (i use the bar for balance, im trying to get better at it too)>planks5 times 3 days a weekim going to increase each week by one and see if i can do itmy diet is not the best, just little above the maintance level (im getting 2500-2600kcal) and trying to hit 0.8-1g of protein per pound and i hope to get into 75kg in the following months, then after that ill see what to dois there something i should change? is it a fine way to start?
>>76650841>my training consists of>>10 push ups>>10 australian pull ups>>10 pistol squats each leg (i use the bar for balance, im trying to get better at it too)>>planksThey never learn lol
>>76650850what should i do then?
>australian pushupsYou lie on your back and push up into the air? Doesn't seem like it would be very effective at anything other than just stretching.
>>76650841>i dont wish to become hugeyou won't no anon, really, there are people out there going to the gym for 5 years 5 days a week and they still don't look like they lift at all if they put on a t shirt lol, realize that it could be simply your genetics getting in your way>my training consists of anon to be honest that sounds very retardedalso quick tip: if you can do a progression for 10+ reps just move on. i.e. pushups -> pseudo planche pushups with a forward lean, australian pullups -> tuck front lever rows (you just get your fett up and don't touch the ground), squats -> pistol squatyou got legs and horizontal press/pull covered, but you lack>vertical pullwhich is pullup/chinup/one arm chinup progressions, you can do them weighted also>vertical pushif you get a pair of rings ($15-30 on amazon) you can do handstand pushups (which is equivalent to the overhead press) on them (start from pike pushups and work your way up)you just need to be strong, before you learn all the handstands and muscle ups and all you just need to be strong, it's the only thing that mattersif you can HSPU your own bodyweight you are strong, if you can't do it yet then you are not strong simple as>5 times 3 days a weekif you do the hardest progressions even one set/week would suffice if you change the difficulty during the rep by manipulating the lever>is there something i should change?you should cut until you can't i.e. it becomes too difficult and shedding fat is not just as easy as simply losing weightwhen you reach that point you start to eat above tdee again while building musclecut for 1-3 months in 12 weeks cycle, with a 0.5kg/week weight loss you can expect up to -6kg in 12 weeks which is nice, then eat like normal for 3-9 months and repeat the proccessyou want to occupy the free available space that you make by removing the fat with muscle instead, so eat your protein and train hardCONT.
>>76651654what I'm trying to say is that you don't need to train like an athlete if you are not paid like onestop obsessing with your body image in the mirror and just get the basics rights: 100g+ of protein every day and training hard, less is more so stick with 1-3 training sessions per week at most, use the basic compounds like the sticky, either use weights or the hardest progression and lever that you can manage, give it 5 years and see how you body will changecalisthenics is absolutely fine to start and you really can milk gains for years to come for pretty much free if you have a calisthenics park outside or a pullup bar where you can hang rings fromull extended legs front lever rows are peak pulling performancefull extended legs planche pushups are peak horizontal pushing performanceif you can do those moves you will have the zeek of a god because it requires that insane amount of strength and being lean as fuck, by the time you even get to do someting as close as a straddle front lever row you will be quite happy with your bodyso this is your priority, each workout you show up and try to give it the best you've got, banging 5x10 pushups does pretty much nothing to you
>>76651654Cutting? Shouldn't trying to go for body recomp be better here? Or because it's calisthenics specifically we are talking about here there's lots to gain in movement ability simply from losing weight?
>>76651693from what I know body recomp is mostly for untrained people with extra fat to burn, it's newbie gainz + eating less than usual and higher protein intakeop should be on the skinnier side already, cut until your body is comfortable with it (as soon as you dip below that level your body will force you to get back) then eat like normal to actually get the muscle so the next time he cuts he can be leaner at a higher bodyweight, the result of it is the true body recomp: higher and more visible muscle mass while staying lean and at a bigger bodyweight at the same time
>>76651654>>76651683thanks for the advice! i dont think im strong enough to do handstand pushups yet, im going to do harder on the chest and see if i canthe vertical pull is quite tricky, after training i can see im getting better (couldnt do one pull up before, now can do 2, while chin ups are 4-5), but im still too weak to actually do it consistently, also my grip is shit>>76651714also do you really think i should cut? is it a good idea at my weight/height?im gonna keep the diet and see how it goes, but ill certainly try to cut it if i see too much fat in my bodythank you so much for the advice, this was really useful and insightful :)
