:mjcry: We got the ladies wanting to join breh's:wow:

What are your goals?

And you not weak,actually good you tryna get on ya workout ish:wow::wow::wow:

:salute:
Thanks!
My goal is too even out my body. Im 5'5 143lbs. But im an apple shape meaning that my upper body is larger than my lower. I have very large breast and wide shoulders and a short torso but lean long legs. So I have 2 choices 1) get a breast reduction to make my boobs smaller to match my legs ($6,000 and a month long recovery:huhldup:) or 2) bulk up my legs, glutes, and calves and get it to match my upper body and have an hourglass shape. So i ant to try option 2 , less invasive and less expensive. But i would like to be fit and stronger overall.
And im pretty weak
0 pushups
0 pullup
Cant squat but i honestly think it has to do with my legs being long, squatting feels so unnatural for my body. I always fall backwards before i even get to parallel.

Im interested in calisthenics because I cant get to the gym because i dont have a car.

Well you can always do bodysquats and attempt Pushups and pullups until you get strong enough to do them.

But burpees,jumping jacks,planks all are good exercises that people do at home.

There are also phone apps that have very good workouts for the home.

Your diet will also play a big part

I;m going to continue doing this. Adding 1 set progressively each time out. See how far I can get by New Years

I should probably take longer rests though and might have to do some pull up variations too.

Day 1

Push Ups (10 X 5)
Pull Ups (5 X 5)
Bench Dips (10 X 5)
BodyWeight Squats (10 X 5)

15 Minutes - 2 Min Rest Inbetween after I completed 1 entire set of all 4

Day 2 - Cardio

Day 3

Pushups (10 X 5, 1 X 25)
Pullups (5 X 5, 1 X 3)
Bench Dips (10 X 5, 1 X 20)
Bodyweight Squats ( 10 X 5, 1 X 20)

20 Minutes

Iight i'm thinking of doing this workout regime starting Monday: Monday Wednesday Friday Dips, pullups, pushups (As much as possible in 30 minutes, broken down to 15 pullups/setset, 20 pushups/set, 15 dips/set to start). Saturday starts a week of Weightlifting, rest on sunday that continue with the Monday/Wednesday/Friday format. Basically switcing between weightlifting and calisthenics every week.

On rest days, I have a short streching/core workout I plan on doing.

Can this get me optimal results in terms of a cut physique while still gaining some muscle mass? :lupe:. Or should I tweak it further.

@Originalgangsta317 I just did a workout. I honestly think Im better than you :sas1:. I did 4 girl cross legged push ups, and half a pullup :banderas:. you cant do that:youngsabo:.











:mjcry::snoop: i sucked a lot harder than I thought. I could only do 4 girl pushups and no regulars. I couldnt do a pullup so I used a chair and hanged down and pulled up as much as possible with assistance from my legs. Is that okay:lupe:? Is that how a person learns to do pull ups? But i did 35 tricep dips though:krs:. I have no clue why i did that so well but I'll take that as an achievement:whew:.
