Hi everyone,
I’ve been practicing calisthenics for almost a year now. I’m currently following the routine below, and I’d really appreciate it if someone with more experience could take a look and tell me whether it looks good or if there are any improvements I could make.
My goal is to build muscle, and I prefer to keep the exercises simple.
Thanks!
