One a scale on 1-10 how strong do I look fit with 5 being an average guy.
I know I'm not really fit but I've been picking up calisthenics. Any advice in general would be great.
Ignore the rash.

Man OP I'm gonna be straight with you. You don't look strong at all. But you seem to be in a good position to start building a foundation for both strength and aesthetics. If you get a proper regime going and get your nutrition on point, you'll make it breh. We're all gonna make it. My greatest piece of advice to you is as follows:
For optimal strength and mass, lift in the 4-6 rep range. Always. Have a six week cycle, with 4 regular weeks, 1 power week and 1 deload week. Make sure you properly tackle each muscle group. If you want legitimate advice from a renown natty bodybuilder, look up Michael Matthews, founder of Legion Athletics and Muscle for Life. Try out his book, Bigger Leaner Stronger, and if you follow it to the T and don't make the progress you want, I will literally find you and suck your cock.

is this bait? if not, then like 2 - 3

I will honestly be very straight with you to.
You look like shit. You are not fit at all. You pretty much have man boobs.
Well, those are pretty bad pictures, especially the first.
Youre too fat with not enough mass to compensate that but I guess you look slightly above average in a shirt so I give you a 6/10 since the average guy looks like shit.

you only made this thread so we can make fun of you for more motivation am i r-r-right?
>>35222766
More like to make sure Im being realistic with myself
>calisthenics
Have you not read the sticky? After 1 year of calisthenics you will still look the same
>>35222762
Do you mean picture quality or angle?
Also Ive come down a lot I use to be 300 lbs with like a 39 or 40 percent bmi
>>35222783
Still fat, and below average person.
I think this is the weakest looking mode ever. Auschwitz 0 bf% has some kind of definition and 50% bf fatties look even some what strong. Op looks just weak
just follow starting strength
>>35222777
calisthenics is good if you're really working hard and not just doing 3x8 pushups like those faggots from reddit
>>35222733
2 or 3
>>35222772
>to make sure Im being realistic
You've chosen the wrong place to post this on then. This place is dysmorphia central.
>>35225246
You know the reddit routine has progressions listed for each exercise, right?
There are better routines, but it's a pretty okay starting point.
>>35225291
Dysmorphia or not, OP looks dyel as fuck. Be realistic.
>>35222733
Damn, that's tough. You have gyno, really off-putting acne, weird proportions and super ugly body hair. You should start working out.
Giving you a number is pointless as I'm not even aware how fit exactly the average person is, it's probably disastrous anyway, so why even bother.
>>35222733
Seriously, do you even lift? That's pathetic
>>35225348
i just think doing such a low rep range on bodyweight exercises(like on reddits recommended routine) gets you nowhere, unless you're doing some advanced gymnastic moves
and i hate their progressions on legs, seriously just add in vertical or horizontal squats which you can progress on infinitely instead of doing 3x10 step ups for the rest of your life
>>35222733
Op you're "strength " looks like a 2/10, 1/10 being a cancer patient. Honestly op you look rather unattractive, I am physically disgusted by viewing the pics, like uncontrollable look of disgust takes over my face. The fact that you posted these means you're unaware of how hideous you are, which is even more alarming. Let me guess, you're the one that complains that all the "hot chicks" are bitches because they don't want to fuck a troll that thinks he's even average?
>>35225568
But that's the idea, to do the hardest movement you can manage in these rep ranges. I agree I don't like the leg progression though.
It's a beginner routine though. You should be moving on to something else way before you max out on the progressions IMO.
WTF are horizontal squats by the way?
lmao nice gyno faggot
>>35225711
i meant horizontal/vertical jumps not squats
>>35222733
>>35222735
Are you serious? 2.
2.5 if you're tall.
3.5/10
