Hey Waldo, Sorry if this question's been asked a million times before. Been digging through the boards searching for beginners calisthenics information. I've read through Convict Conditioning, and to a complete beginner, it seems a reasonable plan for progression but then I read your posts and now I'm not so convinced anymore! Last year you responded to a Convict Conditioning thread with this suggestion for a beginner calisthenics routine: Squat Var x 5 sets Pushup Var x 5 sets Pull Var x 5 sets Core Exercise x 1-2 sets Would you still say this is a good basic routine for me to begin with? I don't understand what you mean by x5 sets? (Sorry, complete n00b here). Do I do as many as I can 5 times? I've also struggled the last couple of times I've attempted the assisted pullup. Feels like I'm putting *all* the weight on the legs, and doing no pulling with them arms. Any suggestions that could help me? Lastly - what core exercises should I be concentrating on? Thank you!
