Thanks for the answers! Now I've got quite a list of really interesting push up variations. I've some doubts tough... So, Kan, you say that it's desirable to do exercises hard enough where I could only do 5 or less reps than trying to reach the 10 reps of a classical routine? Also, I drink one shake a day, always after workout. I try to take my protein from my food, basically egg and egg whites, chicken breast, cottage cheese, milk and tuna. It's possible I'm not taking enough protein, indeed, since I did the calculation long time ago with another conditions, any calculator you could recomend me?? Finally, I've seen from a while mention to handstand pushups everywhere. I've tried them failing miserably xD any tips in the progression to achieve handstand pushups? Thanks!

Well, yes, gaining overall strength is my main goal. Two more specific goals are my pulls/chins and also my chest. For my pull/chin ups I think I'd feel really accomplished if I could do 10reps for a couple or three sets. My chest is more an aesthetic issue. I train and train, can do a lot of pushups (75 personal best) but cannot see any grow.

Hi Rebels! First post here, hope I get some feedback. I think I'm what its called a hard gainer (180cm 72kg and can eat anything). I really want to gain some weight but I have zero interest to be something not even close to a bodybuildier. I know the optimal option to gain is to hit some heavy weight, but unfortunately I'm short in money for a gym membership. Also, I find bodyweight training a great option because I can do it at home (or park, or forest, or...), any day, any time. (I know 80% of my goal is diet, luckily, I've already accomplished changing it, now I'm struggling to 'eating even more') I'm coming a bit disappointed from freeletics (absence of feedback and the strength program had too much cardio..and I paid for that, damn). So I want to go to my origins doing the workouts myself using available resources as I see fit (I had great experiences in the past combining exercises from free sources like bodyrock, 6packfactory and fitnessblender). This implies some self discipline after Christmas break as well, that's a challenge itself.. After this unexpectedly long intro (sorry, 1st post I suppose) I'd like your opinion on what I'll try to do the next 4 weeks: Monday, Wednesday,Friday -> Nerdfitness advanced bodyweight workout (without planks) Tuesday, Thursday -> complete abs workout (here yes, with planks ) weekends -> 'active' resting days or 'wildcard' days if unexpected changes were to be made during the weekdays After that I'll consider joining the academy to start spicing up and make changes to this routine. Do you find it effective? I've no problems with any exercise in the workout, except the pull ups and chin ups.. I can do 3, 4 ..maybe 5 in a good day in the first round bot I always end up doing negatives. It's frustrating ¿is there a possibility that I could be stuck doing negatives? thanks in advance for your feedback!
