Hello everybody,
my name is Samuel (or Sam, however you want to call me ) and I'm 18.
I've always been into sport and movement - my sport background is:
1 year football
1 year basketball
4 years of canoeing
(this all was before I went to highschool at 15)
2 years of occasionally gym (max 1 time per week, I've had problematic time at first two years of high school)
1 year of kick-boxing (really into it mostly 3 to 4 times per week almost whole year)
1 year of nothing - 4 th year at highschool (lot of work - preparing for final exams, side projects etc...)
Now I'm done with highschool and going to an university in 4 months and that means I finally have the time needed to exercise. Also I started recently to wake up at 4:40 AM and workout for an hour, which suits me great.
So what am I asking for: I want to get into bodyweight-calisthenics and I think it's good to start with some training program, which is made by somebody more experienced.
On the internet I've seen some books or programs yet (for example Bodyweight Evolution, Overcoming Gravity 2 or Recommended Routine), but trying to figure out which would be good for me (doesn't have to be anything from the 3 above!!). This is where I need help from you.
Height: 6 feet, 0.44 inches (~ 184 cm)
Weight: 163 lb (~ 74.5 kg)
Body fat: 8.2% (according to our 200$ weighing machine, so I hope I used it correctly )
I can do almost all basic moves - push ups, pull ups, dips, squats, chin ups... Can't do muscle up and other advanced moves.
My goal are advanced moves (muscle up, human flags, various handstands etc.) and also gain muscles. I know it requires a lot of effort and time, but I'm ready for that and continue in calisthenics.
So... that's it. And if you are willing to give some tips nad infos for beginner (for example in nutrition or planning workout, anything!!), I'd be delighted
P.S. If grammar or spelling mistakes, sorry.
