2 years of calisthenics at 42 years old – Progress report!

@mudmixer Oooh, I’ll try to do that as well. How’d you work that into your routine? Or was that something you did extra?

 

[mudmixer]

@deann0408 I do it during warm up, after wrist prehab

@mudmixer May I ask how long did it take you to get strong by callisthenics?

 

[mudmixer]

@lilyroselee It depends on how you define strong. What would be your definition?

 

[mudmixer]

Anyway, I'd say that being able to do more than 10 pullups and maybe 15 dips counts as much stronger than the average person.

It took me about half a year to get there.

To be visibly strong where people started to notice, that was maybe also a half year for T-shirt weather, but to look like you work out even with a sweater on, maybe more like 1.5 years.

@mudmixer Being able to perform feats of strength like bending iron,lifting heavy weights etc.
