hey ive been lifting and doing bodyweight exercises for abt 5 years now. I feel like ive hit a flatpoint and haven't changed much in months. how can I improve
You probably only have been progressing 1/5th every year of the previous year. Should have started adding weight after year one. You can hold plates to get a weight belt and do it that way.

Going to get in here before the shitposters do
>eat more (800-1000 cals over maintenance)
>lift heavier (progressive overload)
>less cardio
You look like shit and i can tell that you dont do any weight assisted calesthetics if you did ypu would look good

Damn I though my gains were dissapointining... you haven't even achieved Ottermode OP - the fuck kind of training have been doing?

seriously, I'm nothing to look at but it took me less than a year to drop from 250 to 160. Does gaining muscle really require that much more time than dropping fat or is OP just lazy/not adding more sets/reps at all?
Well going to gym for 5 years regularly I'd say he's not lazy but clearly not training and dieting smart. Building muscle is a slow process yes but not that slow. I'd suggest OP isn't selecting the right excercise, utilising progressive overload effectively, probably too scared of potentially putting on fat so Isn't eating enough to allow his body to putt on muscle.

op is just full of shit. op probably jogs a mile a day and his routine is 20 pushups 3 times a week.

if you push yourself a bit, bodyweight => ottermode
if you half-workout, bodyweight => op

In the summertime when the weather is hot
Also if he's just doing basic body weight calisthenics like push-ups and pull-ups he's gonna get nowhere. His weight probably stays about the same so the resistance is the same. The body won't change if you aren't asking it to do more than it's used to doing. Adding reps is but one form of stimulous that encourages muscle growth (that's increasing muscular endurance ). But you also need to increase resistance and volume. Plus giving the body the tools (diet/rest) needed for the body to make those changes.
