It seems like the interest in home exercises has risen these days. I’m no expert, so I ask for the other Calisthenics fags to correct me and give their own tips and routines to help.
>Must-have Equipment: - Door / A place you can hang from - Two chairs with a thick stick in between / A Table (to do rows) - The floor
>Extras (will help ease the progressions): - Resistance Bands (To increase difficulty or give support) - Dip Belt - Set of Weights (I recommend 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 20 (KG), these will give you progressions from 2 ~ 57kgs with jumps no higher than 2kg between them).
>DIY Equipment (the ones with no link are easily found in Google) - Pipe Doorframe Pull-Up Bar - Pipe Dip Station - Pipe Parallettes - Pipe Resistance Bands Handle (Criminally Underrated): youtube.com/watch?v=A6ttqLSW9eg
Pair opposite movements, so: Pull - Rest - Push - Rest. This way you get enough rest in less time. You can also change the abs exercise to some posterior chain one, here’s a good list: t-nation.com/training/12-hamstrings-exercises-for-hardasses

It takes literally 1 min of my time, and it's not like I'm already not wasting my time on other threads.
I also want to see if Yas Forums autism could help coming up with more optimal routines. I feel that places like /bodyweightfitness/ are too hang up on old dogmas.
Great additions, I totally forgot about Overcoming Gravity (still have to read this shit).
Ross Enamait has some great content as well. I just wonder if his beliefes on isometrics make any sense. And by isometrics I don't mean straight arm strenght, but the pic related isometrics
Convict Conditioning is good only for its progressions. The routines are pretty damn bad.
What's a good diet to eat when doing calithestics?

StartBodyweight has verticall push included, alternates push ups with dips.
It seems like the reddit routine has being update to add posterior chain exercises (called hinge progression), which is good. I'd then fallow the reddit progression (which also pairs movements, allowing for less time, or more volume in the same time) and substitute dips for a vertical push (like an inclined pike push up) and move the dip for the push up slot, alternating each day (like in StartBodyweight).
I'd say any diet would do, but you should avoid excessive bulk (+500 cal a day). You'll gain weight too quickly and this may screw how many reps you can do (especially in low rep movements).
A good thing about Calisthenics is that your training won't suffer as much from a cut because you'll probably retain relative strenght. I'm cutting (800 cal defitcit) on OMAD and I'm able to keep my bodyweight reps about the same.

With coronachan on the loose, we might all have to swallow the calipill hard
