hi guys i'm traveling a bit on business and over the last couple of years have become quite fond of calisthenics as a way to keep in shape and feel good...
I tend to do variations like close grip handstand pushups, one arm pushups & chin ups, pistol squats, hanging leg raises, and back...
I get great gains off minimalist shit like Stuart McRoberts style of training..
this is what I've been doing for a while now....
Old SChool routine al la Perry Rader

i know it's the test because ive been running it solo..been using 600 mg here of late and whaddya know..my sleep started getting fucked up........
it's always after I start upping the dosage from 350 mg...without fail..that I have sleep issues....and yes I have a natural disposition toward...
would kettlebell clean and press/pullover routine cover my bases for a complete full body workout?
I've always had issues with recovery and exercises that hit the most muscle groups have helped me get bigger and stronger quicker than most else..what do you guys think?
I mean it sounds like a good plan.. but wouldn't adding pull ups effectively overwork my back? I understand kb long cycle/clean and jerk works all muscle groups as is...and has been recommended as the primary or ~only exercise for fighters to perform..
as it stands im doing sets of 15 with 24...
@travish
it just sucks loosing all your mass from years of working out...ive read 3 times a week can be done even with many days of boxing
would clean and press work my entire body though? even the chest?
hi guys I don't have a lot of time to devote to weightlifting anymore as I am an aspiring amateur boxer and it takes quite a toll on my recovery..

but isn't 2 per lb still too much? even getting 1.5 per lb lbm feels like WORK for me.. but then again I was trying to get it from whole foods.. i.e. eating 1 dozen raw eggs a day + a pound and a half of chicken wings, tons of milk.. I do IF so that might have something to do with it.. getting...
and this is the kind of advice I was looking for..i recently dropped the protein intake and noticed QUICKLY that im getting a bit bigger around the midsection and the scale is going up.. I know protein has a thermogenic effect too, probably why I wasn't gaining!.. but I ~know what my body is...
For me personally I went from 135 to 171... (currently) and fairly lean... I love fitness and plan to make a career out of it and as everyone knows if you want to be "someone" in this industry... i.e. a successful personal trainer/physique competitor/bodybuilder it's almost a necessity to blast...
