2) Push-up
The pushup is still underrated.
It works the chest, shoulders, lats and core.
-Move slow and controlled through a full range
Progress up to 30 reps then choose a more challenging version.

These will hit your hips obliques, and lats.
Keep your shoulders, hips, and ankles in a straight line. Add a leg lift to make it harder or make it easier from your knees
Set a goal of 1 minute each side, then pick a harder variation.

5) Single Leg Bridge
An important exercise to reengage the glutes after hours of sitting.
Hold a pause at the top to make it more challenging and work toward failure.
If this is too challenging, stick with double leg variations.

7) Pull-up
It's too good of an exercise to leave off the bodyweight list. This might not be an option given lack of equipment.
And if you can't do a pull up, I'll show an assisted pull up next and drop a future thread to help get you there.

7B). Band Assisted Pull up
Assisted pull ups can be done with your foot on a chair, bands or using a machine.
This helps off-load your weight and allows you to work through the pull up movement.
Decrease the assistance you need over time as you build strength.

@Tortiyakilla Haha yeah, I'd say he had a serious genetic advantage as well but no doubt the calisthenics helped.
