>What kind [of rows]?
Seal rows, also known as chest-supported dumbbell rows. You'll need to get a bit creative to be able to do these at home because you need to have clearance under your body to fully extend your arms. I do them by putting 2 small coffee tables on top of one another, putting my chest on that, then extending my legs back onto a window ledge. It works. For my money they are the best variation of row as they take the rest of your body out of the equation entirely.
>And you just do ABAB every day for weeks?
So the secret here is, you will achieve better results than 99% of people by exerting proper effort + being more consistent than them (while having your diet in check). The majority of people who even get as far as stepping inside a gym then proceed to waste their time fucking about doing nothing. They don't even break a sweat, they just... do nothing. I do 4 exercises at home across 2 days and have had good results because I'm pushing myself hard and I've stuck to it for years.
Rather than caring about which routine is better than another, the advice I would give to people starting out is: commit to ANY sort of workout or program at all for 6 months. Doesn't matter which. If you want to go to a gym you can do Stronglifts 5x5, PPL, Starting Strength, whatever. If you want to do calisthenics then there are a whole host of progressions you can follow there. Pick a program, do it for 6 months. It doesn't matter if after 6 months your physique isn't what it would be if you did XYZ program instead. The value is in becoming someone who has been able to commit to making exercise a part of their daily life for 6 months. Your physique will be much improved from where it is now. If, at that point, you want to change direction then you can do and have a good base to build on.
I believe in you.
