First off, yes, I read the sticky.

I live in a small town. Basically in the middle of nowhere. I dont want to have to drive back and forth to the nearest gym every day, because honestly, I cant afford the gas consumption. Yes, its that far. Still, I want to get /fit/. I NEED to get /fit/. I'm not fat, but I lack muscle.

What is your best advice for getting /fit/ without using any equipment or lifting?

build a home gym or do bodyweight exercises

Get a backpack. Fill it with bricks. Use it to kill your self.

But really though. I don't know how weak you are, but you can start with pushups. Do different harder variations as you get stronger. Hand stand pushups as well.

If you can find something to do pull ups on start doing that. Progress to different types. Muscle ups etc etc.

Use the backpack full of brings (or anything heavy) to add weight to your push ups and pull ups.

You could very cheaply manufacture some parallette bars. There is infinite scale-ability to the paralettes. Once you're at the point where you can planche pushup you'd probably look pretty fucking amazing.

I have pull-up bar, dumbells and barbells. workout at home, lots of body-weight exercises. my biceps could be bigger, everything else is like I want.

Bodyweight exercise won't take you far, yes you can get some gains, but they are mostly good only if you are naked, through shirts you are still like every non fit person.

You need a power rack, bench, olympic bar with weights, pull up bar and dip bar( they can be installed on rack) and weight belt( to add weight for chin ups, pull ups, dips).

With all that you can hit every muscle, do incline and flat for chest, for back do bent over rows, pull ups, chin ups, for legs do squats, deadlifts, front squats, rldls, for shoulders OHP and lat raises with smaller weights, for arms do bar curls and close grip bench .

Here's a starting bodyweight program with progression. Up the protein intake, work out often. Get into a gym when you can because nothing beats barbell training for strength gains. Also consider getting a physical job, they usually pay more and the character building is helpful throughout life

Thank you all for the advice. Based on the advice (tl;dr start lifting anyways), I'm going to have to start building up a home gym then. Going to be hard on a tiny budget but it'll have to be done anyways. I'll start with the bodyweight program outlined here >>39326311 (which is really the kind of guide I was hoping for) while the gym is built up.

Good plan, and good luck
