5’10”. High 180s.
I jog 30 to 40 minutes two to three times a week. Plus tons of walking and moving around on weekends in the summer.
I think the weight limit is 1000 lbs for load but the recommended user weight is 200-something. I got them in. They’re great. I also have the Base Bench and Base Trainer handstand canes.
They just came out with the Big Bar with height of 81 inches.

“I’d like to lose fat”
Also has visible abdominals when relaxed.
WHAT! Most people who want to lose fat actually look like they’ve got some fat on them 
Why do you want to be leaner?
You have vascularity on your arms/forearms and calves coupled visible abs and defined obliques.
You look better than 99.99% of men your age (assuming your in your 40s?). Is the desire to drop BF% further one of personal gain or are you looking for validity from external sources?
If it’s the latter… You’ve already got it, no one in their right mind is going to come up to you and say “dyel brah” (unless they’re trolling). With your work ethic, consistency and dedication you would have probably made a good IFBB pro… But you’d also be paying for it with your second heart attack by now. All jokes aside, apparently those guys ate POUNDS of steak every day back in the 1970’s, talk about genetics of steel to still be alive.
You’ve put in the work over decades and you look excellent as a result. Maybe getting leaner helps with calisthenics? I don’t know, I’m getting back into martial arts (been a looooooooooooonnnng time) which also involves a bit of calisthenics.

Also… How have you been! Busy I assume? It’s been
a little while since you’ve made a post. Hope all is well 
I myself have exams coming up 
(college)
Then I get semester break for five to six weeks. Will probably dedicate those weeks to training very hard as Aus is still more/less sorta locked down, not much is going on here.

I am very busy in the summer. A typical week day is exercise, work, go home, stay in the yard with the kids and wife, play, tend to the garden, prepare food, clean, put kids to bed. The weekends are jammed with activities with friends and family.
I hope you are good too!

That’s fantastic! I hope the dynamic wherein you spend a lot of time with your kids stays that way for the years to come.
I’ve anecdotally noted a healthy, highly interactive familial dynamic and associated community unit appears to correlate with happier, healthier kids.
Have you managed to hit a muscle up yet? There’s a tutorial video that shows if you raise your legs like an L sit going up you can thrust at the hips to create momentum.
The transition is the hardest part, but I reckon if you can do like 5 dips on the rings in a slow, controlled manner and you can do 15 pull-ups (to sternum) you can almost certainly do a muscle up.
Then again, the most muscle ups I’ve ever done in a set is… One… So take my advice with a grain of salt

Hi there,
for the Muscleup do
falsegrip Pushups with thumbs to the chest.
Ringdips as deep as possible.
As i was able to do 5 slow reps of each i started to do slow negative Muscleup.
Start in ringsupport hold, slow dip, transition and then slow neg. pullup (All in falsegrip)
then it goes fast with the first MU.

Get that muscle up yet? @BrickHead
For calisthenics I find hand release pushups are a fun challenge. Try to get like 150 of them and time yourself for the fastest time possible!
Thought I would chime in here as the majority of my training is now bodyweight based.
Here’s a video of me doing 1000 burpees
High rep bodyweight brutality all the way man

Why…
WhYyyyyYyYYyYyYy
I did 155 burpees superset with 155 v situps last week as a body weight interval (switch between the two), that alone damn near killed me
Why ?
Because Rep City is where gains are made @unreal24278 my man

Not bodyweight in its purest form however weighted vest
By the way, this was gruesome. A real test for me
I strongly advise weighted vest work in your regime. It’s unforgiving and works the whole body hard

I posted this in my log but felt it was relevant to this thread
I’ve pretty much ditched barbell work for the time being.
I’m becoming more specific with my exercise selection as these tend to be the only ones I use during my videos. No point leaking recovery on exercises that I’m only doing to scratch the hypertrophy itch
These exercises are
Burpees, the 6 count and navy seal in particular
Chin/pull ups, weighted and bw
Dips, weighted and bw
Squats, KB and air
Push ups,
KB Swings
That’s pretty much it.
