anyone have a good calisthenics pyramid routine? ive been lifting a lot heavier lately, but im looking to switch some things up maybe 1x a week. i cant do pull ups without some weight assistance, so thats out :-( let me know how the below routine sounds- or if you have any better ideas. thanks!
i was debating something like:
25 jumping jacks
5 push ups
5 lunges (each leg)
5 body weight squats
5 dips (since im not going to use machines, ill likely use the weight bench)
5 step ups on the weight bench (each leg)
5 sit ups
25 jumping jacks
10 of each
25 jumping jacks
15 of each (when i build back up in things like push ups, ill increase the pyramid)
25 jumping jacks
10 of each
25 jumping jacks
5 of each

wow. i can actually do rocket science and this routine makes no sense to me..
i dunno, why not just do it and try it out? you'll find that it's not enough or that it's too much while you're doing it, not necessarily when you're thinking about it0
