I hear you on that.
Took some sports science courses back in college (early-2000s). They had us planning some workout circuits and shit, and trying them out near the end of the term. That worst feeling is when the newborn baby deer legs kick in ... and your classmates are watching you (including some bad bitches who played volleyball and ran track).
lol you down there sounding like Rocky or ArnoldI hear you on that.

I remember being tired as fuck thinking - "Damn, these bitches are fine. Do NOT embarass yourself."
Lord, I come to you as a humble man……I remember being tired as fuck thinking - "Damn, these bitches are fine. Do NOT embarass yourself."
I’m cutting out porn too
@Helico-pterFunk down there sounding like these shot put throwers I’m watching in the Olympics right now
Funny side note for you ... the local gym at the community center is right next to the outdoor pool and hot tub.
When you're on the stat bikes or elliptical, it faces out towards the hot tub.
Some of the machines face out to the pool.
The free weights and benches are all close to the floor-to-ceiling wall mirror. One of the best MOTIVATION / DISTRACTIONS is doing free weights, and all you see off the glass = ladies bouncing on ellipticals and stairclimbers, or walking to the pool & hot tub in bikinis.
You try to play it cool and workout, but shit ... Lord ... one time pre-covid I think I spent about 2 hours simply doing curls & shrugs because I couldn't pass up all the cleavage and cameltoes. I think I did about 2500 curls.
Oh ... and the ab machine for crunches is directly facing out in front of the stairclimbers. Thank you, yoga pants visuals.

Bruh watching these shotput dudes yell I was on FaceTime with my wife and started crying laughing all she says “you better not,I swear you better not” she knows me too well because I’d do that shit during sex just to be funnyFunny side note for you ... the local gym at the community center is right next to the outdoor pool and hot tub.

That would be a funny callback if you incorporated it into a future session with your wife, lol!
One of my funniest interactions recently was with a coworker at shift exchange.
Someone was being impatient with her and calling out for assistance. She got fed up, and finally half-hollered - "I'm coming, I'm coming!!! and did it really animated-like when she told me.
She caught herself ... started laughing and said - "You'd better not clip that soundbyte"
I just played it cool (and pictured the visual), lol.
Bruh from now on we gotta scream like those Olympics shotput throwersThat would be a funny callback if you incorporated it into a future session with your wife, lol!

HHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWHHHHHHHH
You mean whore house ....... right?
Nope
Good shit brotha, push and pull muscles are being targeted, over time you can add more exercises, sets and reps.
I Also like the fact that you're doing your cardio in a fasted state to initiate lipolysis
Just stay consistent, switch things up or take a week off every 6 weeks so you avoid a plateau.
Like what? I can only do so much(not trying be a jerk)
There’s a dip/pull up station and that’s it where I’m at
I do different variations of push up
Bear crawl
Tyson
Spiderman
Navy seal
5 wide 5 normal 5 diamond 5 normal 5 wide for a set of 25
Nah fam, you doing enough....when I posted my comment, I just read your initial post, but then I went through the thread after and saw a few more of your posted workouts.
you on the right track with your workouts and ideas about nutrition...seems like you focused. And I hope your path back as a returning citizen is one that leads to mad prosperity, success and solid relationship building with your family.
Thank you bro
Debating on going back to the gym or getting home equipment when I get out
If the gym is really reliable in your area, definitely fuck with it, or those gyms.
Always good to have home equipment to stay focused too. Even just the little stuff like dumbbells & kettlebells. Nothing fancy.
Loving the prison style workouts. I hate to call it that but jail is where calisthenics remains the purest form of exercise. Unless you a gymnast. I have access to gym as I’m a service member but the bulk of my workouts are still body weight focused. Weights are only used to enhance the workouts.
Have you considered adding squats? Body weight squats are fantastic. If you do them slowly and I’m incorporate a 1 second pause at the bottom you can make your legs pop. Bring your heels together to target the quads. I like to start wide and do ten and then bring my feet in a few inches. Sets of ten. By the time you are on your 5th set you should be in the heels together position. Reverse the position and you’ll finish at 100 reps returning to the wide stance. Eventually you should consider one legged squats or pistols as they are known. I think the pistol is the best leg exercise ever but that’s just me.
What about your shoulders? Pushups are of course a staple but have you considered handstand pushups? Find a wall and treat them just like regular pushups. Altered hand placement will target your entire upper body. I do mine in sets of 10-12. In order to work on more stability and strength, instead of kicking up with the heels flat on the wall I reverse it to where my stomach is facing the wall. This forces you to stabilize yourself more and works on balance and strength. Work on both ways so you can eventually get the free standing HSPU.
Since you got a pull up bar somewhere I’d suggest hanging leg raises. STRICT. there should be no swinging and a pause at the top and bottom. I been doin em for a while and can’t get past a set of 10. It don’t matter though. Best ab workout ever.

I’m gone add squats this week
My legs be going thru it after the run and the hanging leg raises are the only ones I do
And def no swinging
Got kettlebell and weighted vest and 100lb heavy bag plus a farmer’s tie and sledge hammer at home can’t wait

More cardio
5 miles minimum
5 miles minimum

Insert SSSSSHHHHHHEEEEEEIIIIIIT

I did 5 miles 1 time took me an hour, never again. Plus I'll have to work up to that. I'm at 1.5 in 15min so 2 miles in 20 or less is the goal by months end
My regimen is similar to yours except I do jump rope instead of running. May take a page from your book though.
If you have access to a pull-up bar hanging leg raises, knee raises, and oblique twist are a game changer. Keeps the core tight and firm. Controlling the body and doing slow helped me get my form way better.
For push-ups I like to mix it up with regular, innies, diamonds, shorties and elevated push-ups . Pike push-ups and Mike Tyson push-ups are good too.
We you get a chance cop some Monkey Feet they are perfect for legs and pull-up bar exercises where legs are incorporated.
For legs I’m in love with lateral lunges. w/ or w/o weight that exercise is tough
Keep going brother

Okay Capitan America! Good ass work.
Look around at your local gyms they normally have a one day, week or month free program. Just remember to cancel it.
Throw in some HIIT in your runs so you don't get bored. Sprint the straights jog the curves.
Keep it up I have been lazy to busy working I need to get back to it.
