Calisthenics Unity

Hi everyone. My name is Abe. I turned 45 this June and realized that I was so very far from who I could be and decided to change my life.

I found BB. I paid for the 12 week course but even week one is too tough for me. So I started the 6 month beginner course, I am sure you are familiar with it, one BB rep created it. But I only did the first month program, and continued that, in combination with Chris's YouTube Fat Burning workout and the official BB week one leg workout.

I have been working out for 3 months now. I have gone from 81kg to 70kg. From 27% body fat to 13% body fat. From 100cm waist to 85cm. In the beginning I could do zero chin-ups and zero pull-ups, but now 7 chin-ups and 5 pull-ups. So much stronger than before but still not enough for the official program. After achieving my goal of 72kg at under 15% body fat in 10 weeks I have been struggling with motivation. The official program offers no support at all unless you pay around 15 dollars per month. Double this one. Chris also seems like such a down-to-earth guy, so I have joined the trial.

Now I am looking at the program and the videos and considering. I have also posted my two main questions on the forum and after getting an answer will decide how to proceed.

But to be honest support is the number one thing I want. 4 other people here in Japan have seen my progress and were motivated to copy me, but they have all quit. So I look for support.

Anyway. Nice to meet you all. All the best on your journeys to transformation!!

Hello Abe, that's what this forum is about. Supporting, helping each other. Chris definitely replies to questions here, maybe not the exact same day, he after all is very busy, but he surely replies to every message. Good job on losing the fat off.
About Christian's program. It's extremely good, it's for everyone whether beginners, intermediates, or even more advance level. So you could literally workout for years with this program. It includes 30 levels (workouts) as you know, same concept in every one (Pull, Push, Legs, Core) just more advanced exercises each level, so you will progress. If you fail a level (don't do minimum reps & sets), you go back a few levels, better for the muscles and for the mind as well, you don't just do one continuous workout and get bored, your muscles also get 'bored' that way and don't want to get bigger & stronger kind of. I saw your question about number of sets & reps. You don't have to necessarily always get max reps and sets. If you feel like you're strong enough to do the next level, go try it, and even if you don't feel like it - try it, you might just surprise yourself and be able to do it haha, and what's the worst thing? Go back a few levels to get needed strength till you're able to do it. Any other question you got, ask freely, we're here to help you haha. Good luck! :)

That's great Abe, keep it up bro! Whatever you need, tell us bro, we are all here to help each other. Best of luck!!!
