I do a upper body routine 3 times a week, basically consists of loads of different pressups at inclines and clapping variations, lots of different pullups and ab work. I have pretty good lats and I measured my arms 15" earlier. I've been told many times I have a good or hot physique, which is always nice.
I don't do any leg work but my calfs are like 17" atleast and I have a ghetto booty so I've gotten away with it.

How tall are you?

routine?

I do calisthenics, but I do it at a gym. I'm military so gym is free and I can incorporate weighted exercises.

Oh yay. Beginner calisfag home gym (because why not when I don't need equipment?) master race here. Currently doing convict conditioning (minus handstand push-ups until I'm stronger) with my own supersetting programme and would love some input on how retarded it is:

Mon/Thu - push-ups and pull-ups
Tue/Fri - squats
Wed/Sat - leg raises and bridges

Why not do a full body routine when its just three days/week? Or are you doing high volume?

I do different routines 5 times a week, one of them are based on this: stack.com/a/no-excuses-bodyweight-workout the rest are my own creation but in the same spirit

I'm not really sure what counts as high volume, but I'm doing 6 days/week. Was doing less of everything 5 days/week but was getting sore joints and wondered if I was overdoing it a bit, plus worried I was shooting myself in the foot by not having enough rest days for each area.

I'm currently trying to master the gymnastics rings and a few regular bodyweight exercises. This type of training has been so much fun and rewarding to me. Routine is:
ABABABx

A-Upper Body
Warm up (Basically doing every kind of motion possible with the shoulder joint, sometimes weighted sometimes not)

Ring dips 4xf alternating with:
Angel of death 4xf (See Jeff Cavalier video about it) rest 1 and a half minutes
Every rep is done focusing on getting quality of movement of the rep, so when form breaks down i stop. This goes for every exercise.

Ring pull ups 4xf (Alternating pronation and supination) alternating with:
Pike pull through 4xf (See mindfull mover instagram for benefits) rest 1 and a half minutes

Pike push up 4xf alternating with:
Rings row 4xf rest 1 and a half minutes

B-Lower body, neck and handstand work
Too lazy to type it now, but basically handstand work goes first and then alternating leg exercises and neck exercises

Keeping it extremely simple
AxBxAxB

A. Push ups - first set to failure, multiply that number by 5, and that is the total number of reps for the session. eg. 20 push ups = total number of 100 reps for the session required, trying to get to that number in the smallest amount of sets possible.
30 Weighted lunges x 4

B. Chin ups to failure x5, into pull up negatives. Same method as push ups for reps/sets.

I find myself fatiguing very late into the session with the push ups, but endurance is nowhere near as good with the chins/pulls. Progress is also a lot more linear with the push ups in terms of reps til failure.

Have you though about doing it ABxABxx?

I just cannot rest ONLY 2 days after training pushups or squats. I need at least 4 days IF I get good sleep.
I train Veterano schedule, one of the Big Six each day, plus ancillary work

Crikey, good on you. Mind if I ask how far along you are? I'm still muddling through level 2 on each. Bloody tempted to push harder though.

I would recommend what I call an inverted pyramid. For instance, you do Pushups, so you do from step 6 until step 1, slowly, taking deep breaths, pausing at the bottom, only 1 set using all those. That gives you a whole week to recover. Same with Pullups. With squats just squat until you cannot do anymore.
I love CC and Paul Wade but really, the inverted pyramid lets you work the more advanced steps fresh and work hard on the step 2 and 1, when the muscles are tired, so it feels like step 1 is step 7 or so.

Thanks very much mate.

The last week I learned to do Korean Dips

If you do them right, you will be working your abs, lats, chest, triceps, biceps, shoulders, traps, glutes, lowerback and hamstrings.

If you are doing calisthenics, you should aim for 5 Easy Muscle Ups. They are the best bw exercise.

so I'm moving in a few months and I'm not sure how close the nearest gym will be/how much time I'll have.
I already have an ab roller, planning on getting some resistance bands and a pull up bar, is there anything else I should pick up?

Had to google korean dips, but those look fucking brutal. Bloody nice one.

I only do

L-sit muscle ups ( with rings )x failure
RTO dips (rings) x failure
bodyweight squats x failure

all 3 for 2 hours 4 days a week
