not enough protein no size?
Just a newbie question, so if i'm not eating 150 grams of protein a day (forget about the math), and if I train for "mass" 8 rep range, 4 sets, bodyweight exercises only, I won't gain any size but just strength?

Re: Beginner bodyweight enthusiast seeking guidance
Eating properly is a bit of an obstacle for me but I'm trying to fix it. Can't say my diet is protein rich, with three meals a day, but I'm working on it. :b The thing is I'm training at 7-8 pm. I fear my workout is not that effective. Don't feel tired after it, don't have muscle soreness, I'm not e...

Well, I'm trying to build the commitment :) So far so good. I'm getting used to it. I've paired the exercises like this: Chin ups and handstand Deadlift and lunges push ups and dumberl curl Lying leg hip raise and calves. Dunno how effective that is. So far the only muscle soreness I've had is in th...

Re: Beginner bodyweight enthusiast seeking guidance
Hello guys, I had a little break due to ankle problems after doing a calf exercise. It cracks while doing it, doesn't hurt. I try to do it slowly now. Anyway, I've designed full body program and I'm thinking of trying the circuit training, with 30-60 min rest between exercises. I've read that for be...

Re: Beginner bodyweight enthusiast seeking guidance
Hey, just did my first workout (first time I do this one, btw). Overall time 42 minutes, with a minute break between sets and two-more minutes between exercises (had to prepare equipment inbetween). Didn't perform that well. Here's overall what my current strength and will could achieve: push ups wi...

Re: Beginner bodyweight enthusiast seeking guidance
Hey, thx for the feedback! It's good to see people are helping :) Well, if 5-7 is too much than as much as I can gain. I thought that it wasn't that much and through proper training with bodyweight it would've been achievable (without becoming a gymnast). My primary goal is to develop a "habbit" (li...
