hey all, i decided to share my journey with you so i can show any new people to the programme that this works and that all it takes is determination and persistence.
I was 50kg and 166cm tall at the age of 15 and was known to be one of the most weakest and scrawny kids in my year group at school. TBH this wasnt a hugs issue for me, I joined this programme because I just wanted to feel better about myself and wanted to improve in overall strength.

Keep it up bro Salute

Good luck bro! So, you are still 15 y.o and 1,66m? Or you was? Cos in this age it's kinda normal, I know one guy who was 1,65m and skinny at the age of 14, and in 2-3 years he grew to 1,92 :D

Im now 55kg after 3.5weeks but still only at lvl 2
I haven't attempted lvl 3 yet but I know i cant do more than 2 proper dips and cant do 7 seconds up and 7 seconds down. Are there any exercises that i should do more of or anything in order to do this soon as i have been stuck on lvl 2 for 2 weeks now
Just stick to the program, you can reduce rest time if lvl 2 is too easy for you atm, and exchange some sets of pull up holds to normal pull ups if you can perform now :)

Today I tried doing lvl 3 i found it really tough but only on push exercises. I could only do 2 dips so i couldnt even reach the minimum requirement for that exercise. I also couldnt do the 7 seconds up and 7 seconds down section. I found that really tough and could only do one. So yet again, couldn't reach minimum requirement.
All other exercises where easy though
Any way for me to improve this... more pushups?
When you do your regular push ups, try to do them slow and controlled, do 3 sec down and 3 sec up. You want be able to do as many reps but it will realy help you towards the 7 sec up downs. Make shoure youre not holding at the bottom/top part. Good luck salute💪💪😀

Try to use a resistant band for proper form on dip bar or to increase your reps on pushups. when i joined the norwegian army i only do like 2 proper pull ups and 10 pushups. i increased this by doing it almost every day throughout the recruitment period. after 30 days i nailed the test with 42 pushups and 13 pullups! try that and you will se improvements :) keep on going

Thx for the replies
This is a weird question as few people have this like myself. I don't know whats it called but my abdomen sorta pokes out more than other people. Its difficult to describe it but the way i see it is that my abdomen/middle section of stomach doesnt blend in with the side muscle that can grow from side planking. Is there anyway for me to get rid of this?
Don't get rid of anything bro, it's just a process your abs are going through, believe me, I was there once. Just stick to the workout plan and do cardio to make your abs more defined. Salute!

Also, the side plank, as well as a number of other exercises, work the obliques(that's the name of the muscle/side abs).

Just keep moving,if you can't finish a level stick with it for a while. Change is good but sometimes bad, most importantly is how you feed and sleep, eat more train more, have some rest and sleep more, a few days and you'll be feeling better. Just keep going!
hey... i was doing the ab section of the workout and noticed that my top abdomen is much noticeable and significantly better than the middle part and especially the bottom. Are there any extra exercises i can do to gain more muscle in the lower ab
Well you should definately do exercises that stretch the whole core/abs. Like leg raises or full leg raises, or even knee raises. Also side knee raises and windshield wipers. All these exercises are done on the bar as you may have noticed. Exercises that stretch the whole core work the lower abs more than any other exercises.

i dont know what i did to the back of my shoulder but the muscles are really tight and fairly sore
What should I do?
I dont really want to miss a few days of workout from this though
hey all, I've been eating a lot but only putting on muscle, the problem tho is that my wrists are very skinny and dont see all this food thickening this part of the body. What should i do
Hello my friend , you have to be patient , you will see results on that part of your body only after a few months ,if not , years :) just train hard man , and be patient !
