Should I be doing calisthenics everyday?

[karim]

I wanna get a v taper (broad shoulders, lats)

At low body fat I technically I have one, but it doesn't show through my clothing and my posture needs to be perfect

shyt if I even get off my diet for a few days, it don't even show

Pull ups could peobably help but an important part of muscle building is recovery so I don't know if I'd do calisthenics everyday. Plus, it sounds like your problem is eating more, not changing your workout.

I don't take supplements except D vitamin

I eat little carbs, enough for the activities I got lined up for the day, usually in the form of oats or the flat pancake that go with wraps

And I have enough proteins for muscle gain through meat, eggs and almonds I eat throughout the day or during a 4th meal. A varied array of vegetables and fruits everyday (orange, pear, banana, mushroom, carrots, leak, onions, peas) that I eat by themselves or incorporate in my recipes.

Ok work out routine?

Ok work out routine?

Day 1 Chest and triceps (+ shoulders)
Day 2 Back and biceps
Day 3 Legs and lower back/abs
Edit: And repeat for Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 and Day 7

3 to 4 exercises per muscle group
3 to 4 sets per exercise
8 to 12 reps per set

I adjust the band resistance and number of reps to reach failure towards the end of the exercise

As for the exercises I don't want to describe every single one of them unless that's of interest for you. For example, for back I'll do pull ups full range of movement & seated cable rows with the bands.

I feel like you guys purposely posts fitness threads in TLR because you want someone to tell you what you want to hear and not the truth

Damn, why so aggressive? I'm not ruling out the other stuff you wrote. I'm gonna make sure my bulk is cleaner. I just brought that up as an aside, because I was also working 6x a week for many months at a time, eating clean.

I would lift 3x a week fullbody, and do intense cardio or HIIT on off days. While cutting, and bulking.

I had some muscle, but even when cutting - whether a really low calorie cut, or a more reserved cut, I would always still have some flab with the muscle. I could never get that nice lean look. always something to grab on with a full hand

This guy is a known hard headed bytch made old head. Don’t take it personal just KIM

Lol it's cool

Spoiler

Chest:
- Push ups on fists or handle bars (add a band across your back to add resistance)
- Seated Chest Press with bands (I use my pull up bar as an anchor)
- Same thing with a 45° angle to target upper pecs/front shoulder
- Inclined push up with reverse hands for lower pecs (add a band across your back to add resistance)

I adjust the number of bands, the amount of band I grip or even the chair position to adjust resistance and do the progressive overload thing

Back:
- Pull ups
- Seated cable row
- Same thing but with a different grip (palms towards the ground makes it more difficult)

I used to do lat pull down using bands and the pull up bar as an anchor but I don't really do it now.

Shoulders:
- High cable rear delt fly (or any variation of cable exercise targeting rear delt that I can mimic with bands)
- One Arm Cable Lateral raise for mid delt

Triceps:
- Cable Triceps Pushdown x2
- Overhead Triceps Extension x2 (standing)

Sometimes I do the overhead triceps pull thing too.

Biceps:
- Standing Biceps Curls x2
- Standing Biceps Curls with palms facing each other for lower biceps x2

Lower Back:
- Bird dog
- Planks

Abs: all types of crunches exercises with raised legs that would be hard to describe or don't have a name as far as I know, but I do them without stopping for 10-15 min

Legs:
- "Quad raises" with a band attached to the ankle and stepping away from the anchor to add resistance
- Reverse Lunges
- Standing calf raises
- Calf raises but in the lunge position

I forgot to say in my other post that I train almost every day so I repeat Day 1, 2 and 3 on Day 4, 5 and 6.

There are other exercises I would do to train my hips and explosiveness when I played ball but I haven't touched those in a long time

If you have any question don't hesitate. This is just how I do things personally, I'm no trainer nor professional.
As you can see it's just calisthenics + mimicking exercises that people do in gym with bands and using your body or the pull up bar as an anchor.
I know that bands are better for some exercises and worse for other, but as long as you do progressive overload and respect the other tenets of working out I think you'll see progress... up to a certain point where weights become just much more practical. I haven't reached it yet and I like working out at home or anywhere I'm at, especially during the pandemic.

I also haven't explored half of what calisthenics can offer. You really can do a lot with some ingenuity and persistence. For example, one youtuber that does animation and do interesting pike push ups:

Do both

I hear the Strong Lifts 5X5 program is good for weightlifting.

YES

If you can't bang out 100-200 push ups a day MINIMUM, what exactly are you doing?

Don't laugh! I tell people that push ups are a full body exercise and they look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them do 100!
