Will I ever get shredded?
I feel like I am stagnating. Can't manage push past my limits either.
>tfw I can hit 50 pushups in a set but can only go 2km straight with a light jog
Anyway, you're not gonna push past your limits with such an unstructured and inconsistent routine. At the very least, throw $100 on a pair of adjustable dumbbells, cop a cheap bench, and find an actual routine that you can use the DBs to progress linearly with.
do passive and active hangs, negatives, band supported pullups right after you knock out your regular ones
It really depends of your genetics... I got a friend who only did abs, push up and pull ups and he was super fit (and white)
Pretty much this, if you cut pretty hard you'd get shredded but look dyel mode and w/out any progressive overload it'd be hard to say.
Even when using progressive overload with bw exercises (pullups, archer pullups, l-sit pullups, muscle ups, etc.) weights are still superior to calisthenics for muscle building/aesthetics.
>unstructured and inconsistent routine
Teach me, oh wise Jow Forumsizen, for I try hard to be consistent in my routine. How do I become consistent? How do I acquire a structured WO?
It depends a lot on your genetics and your diet
Dunno man about genetics. Isn't that just a meme? Can't I get shredded? How about at least look good and athletic?
Read the sticky retard
Stay away from chin ups on a straight bar...horrible for your joints.
>12 fucking push ups
o i am laffin
he lied to you, it’s a Jow Forums thing to get buff and then say exactly that
If you fix your nutrition as well, you are going to be very healthy and have a great body.
But you gotta actually fix your nutrition. Most people think they do, but they really don't.
You gotta educate and discipline yourself.
How the fuck do I do pull ups with a wide grip like in the OP?
I can easily do pull ups with a narrow grip, but when I try to go wider I feel like my body is getting dismantled.
Where did you read this? I've never felt and stress while doing them
Practice them
>1-2km run
Run. Further.
If you're remotely healthy and fit you should be able to go and bang out a 5k any time you like
get stronger
You shouldn't. Wide grip pull-ups are a meme. They just hurt people's shoulders. Take a "normal" grip, a little bit outside of your shoulder width.
Based and redpilled
t. Heavy pullup guy
But I have the strength.
It's just that I feel the kind of discomfort that signals injury when I do it. Like as if my arms are gonna detatch from my body. It doesn't hurt, but it feels too weird to continue.
I hope you are right. Doing it they way you describe it feels like properly working my back.
