I want to start getting my life back around. I'm tired of being some short skinny kid and decided it's time to get wide.
There is a twist tho. I don't want to invest in a gym membership just yet. What body weight excercise do you guys recommend that focus on upper body strength?

bodyweight progression plan is regarded as the best.
That being said, buy a fucking gym membership and eat more.
Holy shit I didn't realise how bad that picture is since I'm on mobile. Here is a better one
pushups
Weighted pull-ups, weighted pushups, and weighted sit-ups. If I were you I’d get a gym membership and do bench squat overhead press and deadlift for some quick gains, body weight will only get you so far unless your strapping weight on your body
Simple pushups, situps. grab a chair for triceps. Sit against the wall for legs, run. At your stage you'll see results fast from that alone. Stick to it man! It gets addictive
>twist
That's not a twist that's what every lazy ass says faggot
Funnily enough my legs are doing pretty good, been running short (around 50m sprints) and long (between 3 and 10k) for over a year. I'll try the chair excercise for sure, as well as regular push-ups and sit-ups.
Well I didn't say I never would but it's not a priority ATM as shits expensive and as a student with no job I don't have that much money to play with. I'm willing to put work in, just not money until 2-3 months from now
Get a door frame pull up bar, they're like $20-40. Do push-ups, pull ups, squats, back bridges, handstands, and planks or leg raises for abs. If you want a guide for progression, and care about joint health and safety, convict conditioning is fantastic. A lot of teenagers on fit scoff at the slow progression because they think they're invincible and don't need it, but you pay for that kind of stupidity when you get older. I learned this the ward way. Don't.
Your best chance is Convict conditioning are Jailhouse Strong.
*Or
*snap*
I'll check out convict conditioning. Btw do you mean they over excercise and ruin their body by doing so? I know for a fact my joint health isn't great
Oh and if you reach the final professions, congrats. You are easily stronger than 90% of Jow Forums and with far more even development and healthier joints. Now you want to get huge without a gym membership? Start with some dumbells. There's a 200lb set on Amazon for about $200. One time investment and its all you'll need for a while. Start with scoobie's routine and go from there. It has a very heavy focus on upper body though, so you might want to adjust it a bit.
No matter how hard hard you exercise it's pointless if you don't fucking eat.
Your joints, tendons, ligaments do not recover nearly as fast as your muscle does. So jumping into heavy weight training just because you are technically strong enough to move the weight is just begging to fuck up your joints in the long run. I know a lot of posters will shit on me for this, because, again, they think they are fucking invincible. I however, am not. Jumping into weights fucked up my knees and shoulders for life, and convict conditioning saved me from a lot of surgeries and helped them recover about 80%. My doctor still thinks I'm a freak and doesn't beleive calisthenics had anytbing to do with my recovery.
Also, if you can afford it, large ammounts of high quality fish oil (like carlsons, NEVER take the fucking pills, they're all fucking rancid poison) and collagen protein daily over the course of years helps too. Glucosamine, chondroiten, and MSM also don't hurt. Aggressive fasting is also absolutely fucking god tier for minimizing inflation and body fat while maintaining muscle mass, if you aren't a giant blubbering pussy like most of Jow Forums.
Diet should be high protein and carbs, minimal fats and sugars I assume? Need to up my water intake too.
I want to avoid fasting if possible. I'll try to get into it progressively to avoid making my joints worse (bad due to my unhealthy running routines where I used to literally tun till I collapse) but if I follow a workout plan, this should not be an issue as they are designed with starting low anyways right?
Oh yeah, don't forget this. You can get in decent shape with a shit diet, but you'll never reach your potential, and you'll never get bigger without a caloric surplus. Also, get some nitrogen strips on Amazon for about $8 to find exactly how much protein YOU need personally. Keep checking it at least once a week until you have a feel for it, because it changes depending on too many factors to list. Check again whenever you change your diet or routine. It will save you a lot of frustration in the long run. No more guessing or wasting money on more protein than you need.
>Your joints, tendons, ligaments do not recover nearly as fast as your muscle does
Yeah when I started I didn't ease in and it took days after muscles healed for the rest to catch up.
Fuck high carb. Do you want the beetus? Because that's how you get the beetus. Carbs are good for one thing and one thing only: cheap calories. Your body absolutely does not need carbs whatsoever. With that said, carbs are acceptable as long as they are quality carbs from heole foods, and you are burning them off, and you consistently burn them off. The more your training leans towards endurance/cardio, the more you can get away with them. But never make the mistake of thinking high carb low fat is optimal for anything. Japan is a special case I'd rather not get into.
Occasional fasting is necessary for all mammals if you care about your health in the long run. You can bulk while intermittent fasting too. Look into the snake diet to learn more. Cole seriously knows his shit. If nothing else, at least keep you feeding window short and avoid snacking. It fucks up your insulin sensitivity when you get older. Theres a reason 1/3 Americans are diabetics for fuck's sake. It's because traditional American dietary wisdom is fucking trash. 1-2 large meals a day, with no more than 8 hour feeding window is a good place to start. Keep carbs no more than 50% of your calories absolute maximum. Personally I cycle between low carb and keto because it cured my beetus and saved my liver and kidneys.
fuck Convict Conditioning get Overcoming Gravity 2, a pair of rings and pull up bars
Not everyone has a viable place to mount rings in their home. He also mentioned his joints are already in bad shape. Do you have any idea how hard that shit is on your shoulders?
By bad joints are mainly ankles and back due to posture and intense running regiments
Well hey if you want to fuck up your shoulders too while you're at it, go for it. Whatever you end up doing, just remember to listen to your body. If you feel like shit after eating carbs or a certain food cut it out. If a workout doesn't work, try something different. Nothing is ever one size fits all, and no advice is ever worth more than personal experience. I have to go but good luck, really.
That's pretty fair. If it wasn't on a person by person basis there wouldn't be so many methods and regimens for getting fit.
look like edward norton and robert deniro had a baby, go big baby or go home
Buy bar bell, 200 lbs of weights, pull up bar, buy elitefts.com
>never did any exercise in his life
>doesn't want to do legs
>doesn't want to lift spooky weights
>clearly doesn't eat
>probably doesn't want to get "big" since you only care about upper body
>has some "pre-existing injury" that prevents him from doing the "hard" exercises
Stop bullshitting me. Put the work in, even the anons here did all the research for your home bodyweight conditioning since you're too poor for a $10 a month gym membership.
Not OP, but my right shoulder clicks whenever I do a pullup...doesn't hurt, but wigs me out. Will it go away as I get stronger or should I focus on pushups instead?
My legs are already way bulkier than my upper body hence me wanting to focus on upper body.
Use your fuckin head kid. Throw textbooks or fucking rocks in a backpack and do push-ups, squats, ohp, whatever if you're gonna be a cheapass. If you're actually a student just go to the school gym. Also eat way more than what you do now.
9 months ago I was about the same weight as you. I'm also 5'9". My advice to you is to just get the gym membership. Pprogression is way more straight forward with weights. You just pick up a heavier one. Its not so easy with pushups and bodyweight stuff. Eat big, train hard and you'll make it user.
See you in /fraud/
>giant blubbering pussy like most of Jow Forums.
Says the guy who hurt himself doing the exercises most people use to recover from actual sports. You have garbage genes.
Not the same thing but i used to get it in my elbow during any exercises. Keep working it but not too hard. Eventually your muscles will get stronger and your joints wont be under so much stress
Push-ups, lunges, chinups, and whatever other ab exercise you want. This will give you an okay strength base, from there progress into weights.
You look like he heavyweight champion of Auschwitz.
But start with a diet. The hardest part of making gains when you're that skinny is forcing yourself to increase your calorie intake by quite a bit
do lateral raises :)
