@pablob To be frank, for YOU particularly, any calisthenics are going to be VERY hard. This has to do with basic physics - longer height means longer limbs. Long limbs means longer levers. Long levers means you have to exert a LOT more force on the short end of the lever (since your limbs are...

@lynsquid Probably Yo-Yo dieting... Well, not true :P Since I could do 8 in a row when I weighed 93kg at 177cm (5'10). Without any specific training. Just could do that since school despite being overweight.

@petergntm Lol :D "I know you cannot run a mile... But something tells me you cannot run a marathon either..."

@antwolf BIA is unreliable so can be discarded at once. I do not know about water weighing, but the golden standard is DEXA. Of course, it is possible to have higher FFMI at 20% body fat, so I cannot discard the possibility you have 75.6 kg lean mass at 5'10''. You are not too fat to be that...

@radchad89 BMI's are good, but they are not created for the purpose to tell us about our looks. BMI is used exactly to predict cardiovascular mortality. For that purpose, it is good. Since the heart does not care where the weight comes from - muscles or fat. In fact, a bodybuilder is maybe...

@radchad89 Lol, no.. I am chuckling at the misconception a lot of people have about "underweight". Seriously, IG models and TV stars create unhealthy expectations... They ALL pin testosterone/hormones. Every 2nd huge guy at your gym also injects. It is SO frequent. But no one will tell you...

@moskva I am not sure if I am qualified to suggest, since I am 5'10. But I can do 20 in a row, maybe more. The way I achieved this: lost more weight (went from 15 reps at 70kg -> 20 reps at 65 kg) trained my grip strength Pretty much it. Allowed to not only increase the number to 20, but also...
