    Wow! I like how your expression changes gradually over the year too, from rather stern to rather smug (deservedly!), well done!

    While technically this is correct, I don't exactly just do high rep easy stuff, cardio with weights, what people think of when they think of dumbbells and bodyweight exercises.

    I do progressive calisthenics and always move on to more difficult variants of exercises.

    For example, instead of bench pressing and overhead pressing, currently I do one arm pushup variants, handstand pushups, tuck planche holds, and half lay back lever holds. Occasionally I do weighted dips as well. For legs I do weighted pistol squats, hand assisted glute ham raises (almost can do them unassisted), and hill sprints. For the pulling chain I do weighted pulls/chins, tuck front lever holds, tuck lever rows, and tuck ice cream makers.

    So while I don't go lift barbells, I do a lot of 5RM and "heavier" work, even if the resistance is primarily drawn from reduced leverage bodyweight (or lightly weighted) exercises.

    Very very impressive! That's great dedication.

    I feel totally ashamed of myself as I started around the same time as you but gave in. I'll use this thread as motivation to persist this time around as your starting shape isn't far off mine.

    Congrats to you and thanks for sharing.
