Routine combining Bodyweight and Weight exercises

Looking for a routine for a beginner that would utilise bodyweight exercises with weight exercises. Not looking for bodybuilding routine, more into the athletic side of working out.

Bonus: Opinion on Athlene X? Is it worth buying his programme?

just do reddit's recommended routine and use barbells for squats and deadlifts

>Athlene X
Meme bullshit. There's absolutely no reason to pay for someones program. With 10min google search you can design better and more personalized program for yourself.

>Not looking for bodybuilding routine, more into the athletic side of working out.
WTF does that even mean? SAD principle, you nigger!

Bodybuilding is working out to look good. Athletic training is functional and useful.

All the necessary videos are already up for free. Beginners don't need that much of a dedicated program, it's more for people already at a more advanced level that are having trouble progressing. For bodyweight routine you will have to smash your face for real if you want to see results tho.

>Athletic training is functional and useful
you have been meme'ed, friendo

Care to elaborate?

Thanks. Of course I know that actually learning and engaging the whole body is more difficult than isolating a muscle and lifting. I've also heard that doing weights only does not translate well into BW.

>Care to elaborate?
functional is relative to sport.

Useful? Elaborate how specific exercises could help you IRL

Bodybuilding increases your muscle size, lowers your bf% (If you are not a bloat disciple), strengthens your tendons and bones. It's as useful as it gets.

I'm also doing a bodyweight routine. Look the videos about tot minutes x muscle workout, they are nice. Always add the finisher ones, and watch videos about effort and about the correct (high) amount of stress you need to put on muscle to get results. Be realistic with your body, don't half ass it but don't overdo it either. If you are a total noob fix your form as much as possible before trying to go extra hard. If you don't have a bar, i suggest to invest some dollars in it. The stuff you can do with it is endless.

>functional is relative to sport
Not really. Functional means that you can do many things at a decent level. Swim, run, pull up, lift weight.

Weights are good, but only if combined well with calisthenic exercises. If you can only lift, and cannot do a decent amount of pull-ups, push-ups, squats, hand-standing etc. then you're not really functional.

Not that guy, but I'd say that being able to haul your ass up a ledge, run for a decent distance and having an amount of muscle coordination that goes beyond that of a brick shithouse would be pretty valuable attributes in daily life.

I've been doing Reddit's routine for that. We've got a good street workout space here in my town, so that's very good. I can't do a single pull-up at the moment, so that's my personal goal now. I couldn't do a single dip and at the end of the week, I managed to do 3, so the routine itself is good, although I like to add australian pull-ups and more vertical rows as 3x5 isn't that much.

I started doing this, any advice would be appreciated.

Monday: Legs + Back
>Squat (Heavy + 2 dropsets)
>T-bar Rows (Heavy)
>Chinups (Reps)
>Seated Row (Reps)
>Leg Press (Reps)

Tuesday: Shoulders + Triceps
>OHP (Heavy + 2 dropsets)
>Dips (Heavy)
>Bench (Reps)
>Lateral Raise (Reps)
>Facepulls (Reps)

Wednesday: Deadlift + Legs + Abs
>Deadlift (Heavy + 2 dropsets for 12 reps)
>Leg Press (Reps)
>Calf Raise (Reps)
>Decline Sit-up (Reps)

Thursday: Off

Friday: Back + Legs
>Chinups (Heavy + 2 dropsets)
>Squats (Reps)
>T-bar Row (Reps)
>Pullups (Reps)
>Calf Raise (Reps)
>Decline Sit-ups (Reps)

Saturday: Chest + Biceps
>Bench (Heavy)
>Incline Bench (Reps)
>Decline Bench (Reps)
>Seated Military Press (Reps)
>Curls (Reps)

Also try to add 30 mins of max incline treadmill walking at the end, but I've been lazy.

Use a rubber band and do assisted ones. Otherwise jump the concentric and do the eccentric only slowly. That's basically the standard for any exercise you can't do yet. Keep working hard and you will see your results.

>bodybuilding strengthens your tendons

If that was the case this guy wouldn't tear his biceps

This is your logic:
>this bodybuilder tore his biceps thus bodybuilding does not strengthen tendons
are you really that stupid?

it's an exercises that requires strong tendons. There aren't many bodybuilders doing exercises that require strong tendons. I've heard of a powerlifter who tore his pecs off of his sternum by trying an Iron Cross. He had the muscle strength, but not the tendon strength. There are also cases for biceps tears from back lever.

I am confident from my experience that if you don't train specifically for tendon strength you got weak tendons.
Also if your only activity is bodybuilding you most likely have absolutely no idea how to train your tendons, because that's not something you need.

try doing gymnastics
fucked up my tendons with that shit
still love doing bodyweight but will defo never do the shit I used to do on rings and pommel horse and pbars and shit again.

I am... kind of. I do only the static hold skills.

What did you fuck up and any advice to avoid it?

Too complicated. Just do this:

Workout A:
Chinups
Dips
Squat
Accessory

Workout B:
OHP
T bar row
Deadlift
Chinups
Accessory

Replace dips with bench if you want. Accessory is One (1) exercise of your choice. Abs, curls, cardio, whatever you want.

Oh yeah and do this 3x per week.
Week 1: AxBxAxx
Week 2: BxAxBxx
Repeat for 1 year

The basic skills aren't really that dangerous I suppose. And my teammates didn't really get injured.
I got something called pommel arm, also wrists hurt from time to time, and ankles and lower back from all the tumbling.
I suppose I wasn't genetically made for it but idk I'm enjoying the easy gains now but I have to be careful.

And probably doing iron crosses and several planches on rings fucked me up idk.

Athlean X's free information is enough desu. Don't buy his programs unless you've gone professional

Unless you really want to get good at Calisthenics, all you need to do is progress the basic Calisthenics movements you already have with weights. I suggest you get a good dip belt. Stick to the good old pull ups, push ups and dips. Buy some Calisthenics rings and a good spot to
do Australian rows for back day As for leg day, the only really good Calisthenics exercises are pistol squats, but you really need to train yourself to have good form to do them because they can put heavy stress in the knees if you do them wrong.

You can also progress the pistol squat with weights. They're pretty good because they're kind of doing both the work of the deadlift and front squat at the same time. Great for people who prefer minimalist training.

>Calisthenics rings
I am offended
