Thanks a lot, I will stick to that. About the pullups, I have a bar in my home, but I can do just 2-3 reps max and rest and then 2-3 in a minute (I can do like 4 sets like it).

Also diamond pushups are hard for me.

Also, am I supposed to do all the exercises one by one one time and repeat it 4 times, or 4 times one excercise and then moving on to another?

if you cant do diamond pushups then thats fine you can replace them with normal pushups or tricep dumbell extensions. Also if r=rest day then this is what your schedule should look like A day - B day- R - A - B - R - A - B - R

If you want a schedule that will get you fit but isnt as extreme do this: A - B - R - R - A - B - R - A - B - R - R - A - B - R - A basically every other cycle do 2 rest days instead of one

You also definitly want to make sure your doing pullups and not a chin up. So in other words use and over hand grip and not underhand. Because underhand works the bicep more and overhand works the back more, and your already doing bicep curls, so youll be neglecting your back muscles if you use a suppinated grip

So there is an issue - I can do like one proper pull up with overhand instead of underhand. I suspect my wrists honestly, they are really weak and it causes issues for many excercises. But I will progress it anyway

Theres a great fitness channel on youtube that talks about this exact topic. his name is hampton and he made a video about the various easier exercises than pullups to progress those same muscles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO3dKSQayfg

do you understand reps and sets now, or should I re-explain it?

I mean, I understood them since the start, but I wonder whether I do:

  • (one set of excercise 1, one set of excercise 2 ... )x4

  • (four sets of excercise 1, four sets of excercise 2...)x1

You should always do fours sets of exercise one, then four sets of exercise two. then four sets of exercise three.
