Yeah I definitely know that it takes time no matter what to be able to do some of the endurance intensive stuff these guys can do. My main focus is to look good as I've always been on the smaller side and I've already wasted enough time in my life. Once I get close to the weight/look I want I definitely plan on possessing some of these bodyweight skills.

thinking in terms of plates is stupid because of height and weight difference. squatting 3pl8 as a 60 kg man is not the same as someone who is 80 kg or more. same goes for other lifts. you'll only end up disappointed when you stall at some arbitrary number despite it being decent for your height/weight.
>I feel like there's a lot less info out there on bodyweight training
luckily for you the bible for bodyweight training has recently been updated to second edition and is now the best bodyweight book out there. it's light years ahead of any other book you can find on the subject.
if you are serious about it you should definitely get it and read through it. i've learned a lot from it and the progression system for exercises and how to do them is well documented and explained.

The reason I'm focusing on just getting my lifts up right now is because everyone says that's the most efficient way if reaching any goal you want. Then once I reach acceptable numbers I planned on switching to like a PPL or other split just to put on size. I may be ignorant in thinking this, but I assume I can use mostly body weight exercises (I can supplement the weight with free weights and s belt if need be) to maintain size, and health and develop skills like hand stands etc. Does this sound like I'm on the right track to you? For me the dieting is probably the most difficult part.

The program I'm running focuses mostly on what you've advised. I need to start getting more serious on the squats and deads though. My calfs are basically non-existent. I feel like my upper back has been coming along the best. Triceps at a close second.

I meant to say my calfs are non existent on top of being weak at deads and squats but from what I hear I may be SOL when it comes to calfs. Not that deads and squats will make them bigger

Bro I'm 28 in June and I'm basically just starting after fucking around with weights on and off for a while. I made the thread to gather information and just bought that book the one guy recommended. I know I've wasted so much time at this point in my life but fuck it I'm ready to take charge
