What is a good source of information on bodyweight workouts? I have kyphosis and would rather avoid the barbell to minimize risk of injury (except maybe one day in the future if I get really strong). My main concern right now is getting in some good bodyweight workouts that replace the squat, deadlift, and benchpress exercises, or just give me a good overall full body workout.
I've been working out for about a month and a half now doing 30 minute routines where I warm up, do a few bodyweight exercises, and then practice karate which I learned when I was younger for a little cardio (I also take a 1 hr walk each morning for a touch of cardio and discipline building). The bodyweight exercises I do right now are:
-Bodyweight Squats - 2 sets of 15 then 3rd set to failure (currently 25)
-Elbow-in Pushups - 2 sets of 6 then 3rd set to failure (still only 6 now)
-Sit-ups - 2 sets to failure. First set I make it to 50 and 2nd I make it to 25.
I have been casually looking for a pull-up bar to integrate it into my routine (haven't found one yet), but I want to be sure I'm getting a decent full body workout for a very motivated beginner. Pic related, I want to be able to progress in difficulty as each one gets too easy.
