The Bodyweight Workout Thread

How many pushups, pull-ups and dips can you do to failure?

If the answer is below 12, then just do 3 to 6 sets of each excersize with 60 seconds rest. Those should be your 3 main upperbody movements with a beginners calistenics routine. If regular pushups aren't challenging enough do decline pushups, dips are essential and all you need is two folding chairs.

For shoulders, look up pike pushups, do those and progress into wall assisted handstand push-ups.

Workout every other day and do an intense core workout as often as you like.

Do the movements strict with good form.

Stop one rep before failure during your sets and go to failure on the last set.

Switch it up, don't just do chin ups, use different grips to really burn out your back and arms.

One of my favorite bodyweight back workouts is:
3 sets of row pull ups (go into a front lever and pull the bar towards your upper abs)
3 sets of pull ups (over hand)
3 sets of pistol grip pull ups
3 sets of chin ups (under hand)

Go buy some cheap adjustable dumbbells, when bodyweight only becomes easy you can put them in a backpack (if the backpack has a waist strap, you can basically use the backpack upside down and it acts just like a weight belt), now you can do weighted pull ups and dips, curls, other important isolation work like side lateral raises, and weighted lunges and calf raises for your legs.
