Calisthenics for 6 Months, Progress Slower Than What is Normal

I believe I recommended the guitar about 8 posts in. Perhaps that’s where this thread should have ended.

Nope, I’m good, my man! You clearly know what you’re about, carry on!

Have you all read that my progress is slower than what is normal?
You can’t just say “multiply your 3 months with 4 and there you have your progress.”
IT will still be 100 times slower than what is normal for 12 months.
I will always be thousand times slower if you don’t help me.

Can’t read, thanks alot, man.

Multiply your 3 months by 4 months and do it for 12 months, and there, you have your progress!

Well that just seems dramatic.

No! This isn’t a forum that you can just come into and ask questions and expect to receive viable options! …wait, oh…it is?

I am not happy with my progress in the past where I gained bodyweight. Continuing this will not increase the speed of my progress.
Could you please stop using irony etc. I have asperger, I don’t understand you.

Do you live with your parents? Perhaps since they know you better than we do, they can give better advice on choosing a new hobby than we can. You didn’t seem to please with my guitar suggestion, but perhaps there is another musical instrument you might enjoy. Or take art classes, sculpture, glass blowing… or maybe you could get into running, a lot of people like doing that. Just some suggestions to get your mind going in a more positive direction.

eh?? just join a gym and suck it up.
By the sound of things would do you good to learn how to work in with other humans

btw. where are the bodyweight routines from here?

Thank you for clarifying. People tend to use a lot of sarcasm on the internet, it can be tough to sift through. Reading about gaining muscle does not mean you know how to do it. You do not have much muscle at all. Also, “bulking” for 3 months is nothing at your size. I had to eat til I was uncomfortably full to get from 165 to 235 over 10 years, and I’ve recently cut down to just over 200, meaning it took me like 10 years to build 40 lbs of muscle. That’s really not great, at all. But it does illustrate how long it can take to gain appreciable size if you DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING.
This is why

Is not what we suggested, assuming “this” is whatever you were doing before. We do have people on here who can help you, but you first have to forget everything you THINK you know about this.

It would be a very new thing if reading about hypertrophy etc. isn’t useful.
Not having much muscle doesn’t make my knowledge less good. See thin personal trainers.
I never said I want to look like person x after 3 or 6 months. 10 Years is a lot. Why you telling me this? How does that connect with me? You gained only 3 kg bodyweight per year? Why?
I am not asking here any question regarding how long something needs.

Ok if have Aspergers get a hall pass for time being.

Good ideas here…

the Josh Bryant book i recommended is full of bodyweight routines.

re pull ups stop with going to failure and negatives, just do multiple sets of 1 for up to 10 sets. Every 3-5 workouts add one rep somewhere across the 10 sets. keep doing this until get 10 sets of 3

This guys stuff is excellent also. get some dumbells up to 50lbs and can put on loads of muscle doing this…

I can’t use any of these workouts. I don’t have concrete to form stuff. Or a backyard.
Or big wheels. Or or or.
And why does that article reads like a wo/menshealth routine “How to get abs in 10 weeks!”?
I have read a good book about calisthenics. It’s the HOLY GRAIL for calisthenics: Overcoming gravity 2.
But I can’t find the book you mean.

Got plenty of excuses though, try lifting them.

A) read the whole article.
B)You need to make a bigger effort to understand the broader context of the article and the advice people are giving you here. You’re coming across as ungrateful and in turn rude and disrespectful to people who are helping you for free.

In the case of the article is that even in a shithole African country you can create a decent workout with a bit of creativity

Its been a number 1 best seller in its category on Amazon. Look harder.

I’ve never heard of Steven Low. Josh Bryant is a 600lb bencher and respected coach in both bodybuilding and strength sports at the world level.

I don’t know what you want.

Drop the attitude.

Ok Im not going to waste my time arguing with you.
Just get some dumbells and do the Brian Alsruhe workout. His stuff works. You now have no more excuses. Sorry about that.

Watch a bunch of his other stuff also especially on mindset and look up his log here under Alpha He is in amazing shape and has 10 times the reasons to make excuses than you do including currently a broken foot that wont heal, a brain tumour and Lymes disease! He still shuts up and gets it done.
