@Originalgangsta317 do you think something like this routine alone would be good while also trying to gain some weight or do I have to hit the weights?
Cause at the moment I can barely even lift the damn 45lb bar when I started lifting a few days ago
.
I was planning to do like you did and do this routine for awhile to build some strength and then start with the weight at the gym again.

Me and the guy who showed me this routine both got strong as shyt without touching a weight.
I started lifting about a year after I did this routine and still included while lifting but I was strong without touching weights.
My partner could hit 4 plates on bench squat and dead and never would touch the weights true story.
you should market this shyt breh

Yea man Ima have to do something breh,it's just hard to figure out where to start.
Thought about making a thread on here and putting all my workouts and videos in it and going from there.
I definitely think you should start there posting videos and taking it from there. are you a certified personal trainer by any chance? if not you should go and get that license, so you can make additional money on the side. make sure to create Instagram, youtube, facebook, etc. that's a great way for you to promote your skills. you'll definitely draw more attention from prospective clients but the competition for fitness is huge! it's up to you though.

That's what I want to be a personal trainer fasho been thinking about getting my license and I'm going to create that thread and start putting things in there,it's just hard to get the footage I want because I have no one to record for me and if I do it'll be broken up into sets.
But I'm thinking for now I'll just have to do the best I can with videos and get what I can and explain any questions y'all might have.

Ok, s I been lurking this thread for a minute now, and I'm really eager to try this routine, but I have one major problem I dont think has been addressed. How is rest supposed to be incorporated into this?
Every bit of conventional wisdom i've ever been told or read about lifting or exercising was that working the same muscle group on consecutive days is counterproductive. The whole "muscles dont grow in the gym, they grow outside the gym" spiel. I currently lift every other day (3 or 4 days a week depending on work/personal schedule). I want to try this tomorrow since I lifted today and not lift again until Thurs, but that leaves me with only one day a week doing OG's routine if I only do it with a full day rest before lifting.
Basically, my question is when do you take a rest day if you are doing this AND lifting? Or should this only be done as a an alternative to lifting? And how were you not limiting muscle growth by doing this daily?
Lemme know cuz i'm def intrigued to give this a go. Props on the thread.

That's something your body will let you know,I advise everyone to start slowly and when your body tells you to rest you take that rest.
But for me I only rest on Sunday's,but that's me.
So if your going to Lift and do this workout then maybe you can do it like this:
M-weights
Tues-calisthenics
Wed-Rest
Thur-weights
Friday-Calisthenics
Saturday-rest
Sunday-weights
Or you could do 3 each and have one rest day,or as I said just do the calisthenics workout leave the weights alone and hit the calisthenics 5 days a week. It's all up to y'all but your body will eventually let you know it needs a break.

what are the dips done on and you don't do any sort of overhead pressing motion?

I do my dips on my pull-up bar when I'm doing this workout as the pullup bars are made for you to do dips and pull-ups on them.
And no I don't do any overhead pressing motions when doing calisthenics but when I do weights yes I do

i might try this shyt in addition to weight-training. i used to do bodyweight stuff years ago, most impressive thing i worked up to were the dragon flags and legit one-arm pullups, could do about 3 of them bytches either hand. wanted to do more gymastic-type shyt, but they take too long to master.

Yea breh get back to it man working out or doing extra never hurt nobody.
This routine is legit
if you need help with the whole camera thing, you can always post in the tech section ( The Arcadium) and ask tech brehs for advice.
you definitely need someone to record some of your videos. good luck to everything and get that license and share with the coli.
