Can you suggest some good pointers on how to get started with that type of routine? Edit: thanks for the responses, awesome.

When I got interested in this type of workout, I just youtubed videos, picked out exercises that I wanted to do, and created my own routine.

The "recommended routine" at r/bodyweightfitness https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommended_routine https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommend... I've been doing it for about a year and it's excellent. The only "equipment" I bought are some wooden gymnastics rings.

Like the others have said, the bodyweightfitness subreddit is a great resource. I just want to stress if/when you get to using gymnastics rings, don't just jump right into them, be very careful with your form. Also be sure to that you have not progressed too quickly and are actually doing the exercises you should be doing for your strength level. I've injured myself on them multiple times (the first time I was just doing something dumb) and I'm currently on the tail end of the recovery of another injury. I would imagine this just has to do with the fact that each ring is independent of the other, with many free degrees of movement, which makes it easier to slip into form that is bad on your body. That being said, I love body weight training and starting it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Late to the party here.. I've posted this a couple of times but I found the muscle guide by Julian to be incredibly helpful: https://www.julian.com/guide/muscle/intro https://www.julian.com/guide/muscle/intro
