atm, doing half dips (with chair, not in a gym) reps of 12, 5 sets then do or die (continue till i can't anymore)
push ups 2x sets of 20
continue with sets of 10x reps until i reach 100. Then go until I can no longer.

crunches, 2x sets of 20 reps, 6 sets of 10x reps. then power till i can no longer.

that's all i have transitioned atm. going to add a 30 min run maybe once a day or once every two days.

What else should I add?

skipping?
plank (will be set in tomorrow)
burpees
jumping jacks


current stats:

was a couch potato
recently went from 195lbs to 170lbs
5'11"
now trying to hit 160 and lean out. (get my 6 pack I once had years ago) and then some.


things I have bought and can use
- 20lb dumbbells
- weighted skipping rope
- regular skipping rope
- yoga mat

If anybody would care to give me some insight/criticism , i'm down to learn and move forward.
calisthenics is all i can do/ at home workouts.
I don't do the gym atm, can't afford it.

Hold dumbbells and do lunges, squats, straight leg dead lifts

Shoulder press
Front raises
Lat raises

Bicep curls

Honestly just join a gym. So much better than anything you can do at home.

because I don't have a job atm or money because I am travelling. calisthenics seem like the greatest way atm to work out.
Shoulder press
Front raises
Lat raises

Bicep curls
I'll be adding these for sure.
I was thinking about for core as well. It's a plank but a full body rotation. So you do a full arm extended plank, but fully twisting into a backwards wear crawl. (not sure what it's called and idk if it actually works well).

Hold dumbbells and do lunges, squats, straight leg dead lifts
just getting into squats, I need to stretch a FUCK ton before or else I pull every muscle possible.

There’s a tonne of core exercises you can do on the ground / yoga mat. YouTube will provide you with plenty

I guess start with body weight squats then work your way up

Today I couldn't run cause my legs were sore as fuck after doing minimal cardio😂
So I did 125 push ups and 80 crunches. I'll rock out 20+ more by tonight.
And 20 butt raises or w.e they are called.
(Laying on your back, knees bent, feet flat on ground and raising your butt) works back muscles and core)

I was thinking that but I also don't have a set meal plan, it's pretty much 1500-2000 cals and work out daily.
Not sure what exactly my protein, carbs, etc are currently at.

I have been strictly working abs, a little bit of back, a ton of stretching (so I don't get sore as fuck) and chest.

What I am still doing:

push ups - 90-120. I'll be getting some kind of weight or switching up my push ups to exercise different muscles and work harder on my muscles. I'm getting pretty good at them.
I can now do proper push ups. Hands not extended all the way and using my triceps more with shoulder/arms.

Core - crunches Russian twists, plank, etc.

I am sort of all over the map in this comment, but I hope you understand what I'm saying. Lol.

Yeah I'd say just make sure you hit your protein minimum and workout with intensity.

Try pushup variations to switch it up, wide, diamond, prop your feet up so you've got more weight to push up.

Then do some circuit ab workouts to help develop overall core

Ouh buddy. Almost 2 weeks of crunches and push ups. Was 167 and now I'm chilling at 175. I did also eat a huge dinner tonight and a lot of ribs/ chicken wings, 2 slices of pizza, banana bread, a banana, peach, hand full of chips. (But my waist size is still at a 32/34) meaning it's not weight being gained on the "outter shell".

So yea I definitely had a Chetan day. But I don't DO IT OFTEN!!
Lol that's most likely a couple lbs or so, if not a few.😂

As well, I'm beginning to hit 100+ a day of push ups, so yea. I will add those positions you suggested. As well I REALLY need to add cardio!!!!!
I'm hitting my 100ish a day of crunches but it is still difficult. So I'll keep it as is.
I'm also going to include some back muscle group work outs so that I am evenly building, but I am unsure as to what I should do.
Any suggestions?
I am also trying to cut down to 160 ish range but I might be stuck with hitting 170... 160 is truly hard. I would always be cutting. I might as well go straight to lean rather than cutting.
Abs at maybe 165-175lb range...?
