What is the simplest, most effective bodyweight workout routine that I can do daily to get a Greek god figure 2 ?

I saw CRAZY results when I started doing these 3 things…
I’ve been writing about strength, fitness, and weight loss for years and run the blog The Science of Getting Ripped if you want to learn more.
Anyways, if you want to sculpt an amazing body using body weight exercises, here are the 3 things that will transform your physique:
1). Do THESE Specific Movement Patterns
If you use these simple exercises, you’ll be able to mix and match them based on your strength, skill level, and abilities.
Understand these movement patterns and choose your favorite exercises:
  • Horizontal Push: Pushups, elevated pushups, and one-armed pushups
  • Vertical Pull: Pullups or chinups
  • Vertical Push: Dips, handstand pushups
  • Horizontal Pull: Inverted rows
  • Squat Movement: Pistol (one-legged) squats, jumping squats, lunges, step-ups
  • Hip-Hinge Movement: Glute ham raise, back raises, back bends
  • High-Intensity Cardio: Box jumps, burpees, hill sprints, jumping rope, and high jumps are all good examples
These basic movements hit all of your major muscle groups. Best of all, you can do them anywhere.
2). Lift Explosively, Lower Slowly
The FASTEST way to get results from your body weight workout is to “lift” explosively and to lower slowly.
University of Alabama researchers recently studied two groups of lifters doing a 29-minute workout. One group performed exercises using a 5-second up phase and a 10-second down phase, the other a more traditional approach of 1 second up and 1 second down.
The faster group burned 71 percent more calories and lifted 250 percent more weight than the superslow lifters
You’re going to do the same thing with your body weight workout.
  • Pushups: go down slowly, then explode up
  • Pullups: go down slowly, then explode up
  • Squats: go down slowly, then explode up
You get the idea…
3). Use tools to TURBOCHARGE Your Results
One complaint about body weight workouts is that you can’t progressively increase the resistance, so it’s hard to get bigger and stronger.
Well, not if you get these tools:
  • Pull-up Bar: A pullup bar is not absolutely essential if you can’t do a pullup or a chinup. But if you can, then it’s required
  • Gymnastic Rings: Gymnastic rings are essential. Strength coach Jason Ferruggia has said that rings are the greatest tool for building upper body strength. They allow you to do all sorts of pull-ups, chin-ups, dips, inverted rows, and even pushups.
  • Dip Bar: If you can do dips and don’t want to invest in gymnastic rings, you’ll get a lot of use out of a dip bar.
  • Dip Belt: Dip belts are great buy. They can be used to make your pull-ups, chin-ups, and dips more challenging. I have one myself and I’m really happy with the purchase.
  • Jump Rope: Jumping rope is a GREAT way to burn fat. You can jump rope in HIIT (high intensity interval training) format where you jump for 20 seconds, rest for 10, and repeat 8 times. It will build quickness and agility (in addition to burning fat), which is why boxers jump rope so much
  • Box: Having a sturdy box for box jumps and step-ups is great to build lower body strength

What do you need to eat to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time ?

Let me start off with:  It is absolutely possible to lose fat while building muscle. It's not the fastest way to build muscle, per se, but it's possible. Resistance training. If you have a quality program or routine set up, you don't need to change it. If you don't figure out a good program that works for you. I happen to be a fan of full body workouts, hitting the gym heavy twice a week and doing endurance calisthenic work on the days out of the gym, and have had great results so far, this is known as daily undulating periodization, a useful training tool for strength building [1] In any case keep lifting and lifting hard. Cardiovascular training You can do it if you want to, I'm a fan of it, for a  number of reasons , not solely aesthetic reasons.  If you do cardio, I suggest doing it moderate to high intensity for at least 30 minutes a session. People that fail to shrink their fat while doing cardiovascular are likely failing in the next sessio

Once you gain the amount of muscle mass you want, how can you stop getting heavier or bigger

Adjust your calories needs to meet your current activity levels Okay Okay, all I am saying is you need to eat at a maintenance level. With an experienced lifter, You can only add muscle in a calorie surplus. [Source:  12 Types of People You See at the Gym ] When you feel you are content with your body: Figure out maintenance calories using a tdee calculator -  TDEE Calculator: Learn Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure Keep your protein to 0.6g - 0.8g per lb of body weight, fats around 0.4g per lb of body weight and full in the remainder with some nutritious carbs. You can also scale back you workouts to 3 days a week but always keep the intensity. If you don’t use you lose it.

How can you increase your muscle mass and definition as a woman

Image
I have maintained for years that women do not gain “muscle mass” as men do. Unless they cheat…By doing steroids. There may be a small percentage of women who have the genetic makeup to become muscular….A large frame, and a high percentage of fast-twitch muscle fiber. But most will not. “Natural” female bodybuilders tend to end up looking like this: Nicely shaped, well-defined, but not particularly “large”. The occasional female bodybuilder you see who looks more like “Ahnold” with a woman’s head has been nipping at the steroids. The other answer recommends “lifting heavy”….That is not the method employed by male bodybuilders. “Lifting heavy” is for strength training. Heavy weights, low repetitions. Bodybuilders use relatively lighter weights, higher repetitions, and multiple sets, along with special dietary strategies. Not just “eat more”. That’s how you get fat. Bodybuilders (smart ones….) very carefully monitor protein intake and other nutrients and also go through “
