Alotta these exercises are way too difficult for me to do,

Any recommendations for simpler exercises to work on to work up to these?

Adding a calisthenics circuit as cardio fukk that monotonous treadmill bullshyt. Calisthenics circuits will have you lookin like goddamn wolverine with your heart poundin like sasquatch feet

Here's what I'm gonna attempt:

20 neck bridges
20 pushups
20 squats
20 inverted rows
20 bulgarian split squats (10 per leg)


5 rounds

my body has always responded great to calisthenics because I grew up doin karate so I guess that's what it is used to. I never look more yoked than when I've been doing calisthenics.

Subs!

All I need right now is this, and a real cheap ass meal plan.

Been on that calisthenics tip for about two years now (plus I'm a Vegetarian), went into the gym with a friend who's nearly twice my size but I pretty much kept up with the weights department, and killed him with pushups.

Did slow chin ups earlier in the week and my abs are still sore

100 burpees. nothing else matters.

Even with 10 sets of ten, by your 7th set you will wanna be like

When I first got to the joint,I was about 145 pounds,I couldn't bench 135,so I was pretty weak.

My first year locked up I did straight calisthenics

Here was my routine:

Grab the stop watch and set it at 30mins and start it

I started off trying to complete 100 pullups,150 dips,150 body squats and 200 pushups within 30 mins or less,and everytime it got easier I added 2 reps to the pullups,5 reps to the dips,and 10 reps to the pushups and body squats. The best I ever got up to was 180 pullups,400 dips,450 pushups and 300 body squats in 30 mins,and knocked out 1,000 pushups every saturday in 45 mins.

The pushups and dips were done together,take a 5 min break,then the pushups and bodysquats were done together,and the 1,000 pushups saturdays were done alone.

For a year straight I did this with NO WEIGHTS and it cut me up something serious and gave me long wind,I was strong and in great shape,the first time I went back to the bench press I hit 135 like it was nothing,hit 225 easily and got a one rep of 300 pounds.

My squat,was about 275 ATG and 310 in the bucket(Prison slang for squating and making your butt touch the flat bench or a chair.)

But after I picked up the weights,I no longer did this crazy routine anymore,as I loved the weights.

But I just started this back up and started back from scratch and got 100 pullups,150 dips,150 body squats and 200 pushups in 20 mins breh's.

Try this,any questions feel free to ask.

How?

You never tried it and prolly never work out

Exactly

Nah man. I work out. I believe lifting heavy weights in a quick and compounded effort is best for losing weight and keeping your muscles working even after you're done with the session.
