[2 years progress] My journey with BW

[dopos]

@joshpear87 This is the way (do people still say that? also you've got a hell of a torso, dude.)

 

[joshpear87]

@dopos Thank you! Yeah, really long torso. Isometrics are a paaaain lol

 

[deborah123]

@joshpear87 Looking solid. Glad I could be a part of your calisthenics journey

 

[joshpear87]

@deborah123 EDIT

 

[deborah123]

@joshpear87 Nice.

@joshpear87 Bro, thanks for the post. Similar issues here, scoliosis, arthritis in some joints, etc. just joined a gym so seeing your routine would help.

 

[joshpear87]

@christinehart068 Start slow, adapt your body and if you are willing to try the recommended routine it will make wonders for you!

@joshpear87 Holy fuck

Think I'm doing today's session early

 

[jesusrescuedme]

@joshpear87 I'm more interested in your sleeve progression tbh.

But great work on both!

 

[joshpear87]

@jesusrescuedme Gotta paint that jade dragon asap. It’s summer here so I don’t wanna get into troubles with the sun hah

 

[dawn16]

@joshpear87 that’s really solid, you mind sharing the routine?

 

[brotherbert777]

@dawn16 I'd also love this

@joshpear87 Nice job! You have my dream physique.

30M here. I have the same issues (scoliosis and herniated cervical disc). For these reasons, and money and time constraints, I'm also opting for bodyweight lately.

How was your general diet during these years?

 

[boateng]

@anie2812 You have Your dream physique, really . I dont think comparing helps ..... Admiring is great, praising too and listening how someone got that far too but your body is yours, your built is yours, imho.

 

[theresadove]

@boateng You’re getting downvoted and I can see why but I disagree. Reading between the lines helps me figure out what your really trying to say.

If I’m getting the real idea you are meaning “ having a goal is great but one person may not look like another. keep training and improve, be happy with your body. Don’t get pissy or frustrated if you don’t look exactly like another person”

I also may be way off base lol.

 

[boateng]

@theresadove Oh wow I did not see this! You exactly said what I meant! Im not native English.

Dowvoting is so unness.

Its is just as you said. A lot of teens for example, even me, see models or singers or sportsmen and think I wamna be that thin jacked broad etcetc but everybody is differently built. And body dysmorphia is lurking a lot nowadays! The comparing oneself to others is a real issue here.

So thinking : I wanna be strong or slender or huge, cool! But ' I wanna be like him or her whith exactly those measurements" is setting yourself up to failure and such

 

[boateng]

@theresadove Thanks dear stranger for reading what I meant and taking time to wtiting it down

 

[joshpear87]

I went for body weight training for those reasons. Better slow and steady than rushing and injuring yourself. I try to eat “healthy”, no sodas, not so many desserts (I fail in that one tbh). Also I don’t drink and I loooove oatmeal heh

 

[denzel]

@joshpear87 what weighted exercises do you do?

 

[joshpear87]

@denzel Hi! Ummm, mostly dips, pull ups and pistol. Sometimes I add weight to check on my RM
