Thanks for posting this! I take Barre classes 3x/week and we do some calisthenics, some isometric movements, and some stuff with very light weights (1lb yoga balls and 2-3 lb dumbells) I know I'm getting stronger, I'm definitely getting more flexible, and it feels great. I think some calisthenic circuits would be great for me to add to my "in between" barre days.

Reading your story has made me download the Kindle version of "Convict Conditioning" and I am in awe and in love and inspired lol! Everything that man says make so much sense to me that I will slowly over the cause of the next weeks transition from weights to bodyweight exercises.

I will also get "Pushing the limits" from Al K.

Thank you again for posting your story, it's completely resonated with me. And if (WHEN!) I do a one armed pull up next year I will think of you haha!..

What this guy can do with his body just blows my mind! And he's a vegan.

And I bet that in the event you were Lois Lane and hanging from the side of a building - you could pull yourself up.

That's where I want to be. I want to be able to pull myself up - you see those movies where the heroine is hanging and waiting for the hero - I would last 2 seconds before falling now.

Congratulations on your success - you can tell your daughter is proud of you too, and she's lucky to have you as a role model in her life.

BUMP - total inspiration!! i love my heavy weight lifting but I too would like to just kind of lift myself up off the kitchen counter by one arm or do some pull ups. I think after I finish this first couple of months of heavy weights I'll move into your routine. Thanks for the book recommendations too, always helps. Congrats and thanks for posting!

Great results! I would definitely be interested in knowing about where you started with body weight/calisthenics. What did your beginner work outs look like?

Congratulations on getting that definition! Great motivation for me to start adding more calisthenics.

I enjoy lifting and will keep it up, but it is very nice to see examples of other great approaches available to folks to meet their fitness and body composition goals. Tagging so I can share with others later when questions about fitness programs come up.

Fabulous work, OP! And great results!
