What I have:
- 17yo, 183 cm, 69 kg
- 16.5 cm wrists, legs look pretty solid, but arms are pretty skinny in terms of bones (have some tissues so, dont look like skeleton)
- pretty short torso, i guess; protruding femurs (hips); not really wide ribcage, but medium at least shoulders; longish neck, combined with torso, ruin aesthetics or proportions (maybe its BDD, but i think it doesnt look good)
- appetite is medium at least, but i cant eat big amount of food in one go, even some skinnier guys can eat twice as much
What I do:
- do simple workouts a.k.a. push-ups, pull ups and squats. Lost my shape, so im not really good at it now
- try to cut sugar and salt, ate less overall in summer but now i regressed a bit
- wanna try to drink more water again
What I want:
- maximally good physique for someone, who is ready to find place for physical activity in his life, but dont want to be professional/fan
- better health, mood, stamina and other physical qualities like strength (no super goals, just want to be overall stronger)
So, questions are:
1. Should i work on becoming dystrophic extra low BF before starting gaining mass (i doubt it, but still)?
2. Should i work on putting mass?
2.1. Should i work on putting mass classically or recompositioning?
3. Should i progress with calisthenics first (to be able to do like 30 push ups and 15 pull ups with my weight), then add some extra weight and then gym? (not sure if i can afford gym now + its more comfortable to do calisthenics at home, yeah)
4. Should i fully avoid shit food (no fastfood, but i like to eat something with sugar sometimes lately) or do some cheat meals sometimes, but try to avoid empty food?
5. General rules in terms of diet?
If you need more information, ask about it.
Possibly will add some questions later. You're welcome to leave your advices too, not only answers for questions.
P.S. I know about some gym and calisthenics reddits, but my question is kinda mixed, so i would like to try here first. You can provide resources that can help though
