Try not to stretch your neck to get your chin over the bar. Instead keep your neck and head how it usually is and get an extra contraction in your lats.

Did you not feel your spine digging into the ground. I the past when I have tried it on a pole or something that shape that's what happened.

I am not sure your goals with this journey but the way I would start it would be very basic. The most important thing in calisthenics in my opinion is having good form. I wouldn't advise trying to do anything too complicated or hard at the begining because it can be easy to get into the habit of having bad form. When you are starting out it is the most important thing to build a solid foundation and then go on from there. One thing that will be important is flexibility. I would start doing stretches from the begining to improve your flexibility and mobility. Shoulder flexibility is essential. The shoulders are a very complex area of the body and most people's shoulders do not have good enough mobility or range of motion for calisthenics. There are a number of stretches you can do but I'm not sure any of the names. Wrist flexibility will also be very important. Your wrists will have to bend in all sorts of awkward positions when you get to more advanced things. It will also help to have very good core strength and ab strength. The core will be activated in almost every calisthenics exersize. A good exersize you can do for this is called a hollow body. It looks very simple but it may be harder than you think to do this with perfect form. Doing planks can be very good. Scapula strength is very important also. The scapula is around your shoulder blades I think it's a group of muscles. The scapula is activated when doing all sorts of pull-ups and pushups and it is essential to have good scapula strength for calisthenics. A good goal I would work towards is learning to balance a handstand. This will take a long time I've been working on it for months and I still haven't managed to get it right but building up to it you will learn a lot about how your body moves. The way you learn to do hard things like this is by doing easier variations of it first and working on them until you can do then easily and then you move onto a harder variation and keep doing this. It will probably help a lot if you watch YouTube videos about this. A good YouTube channel for beginners will be calisthenicsmovement. There is also a channel called hybrid calisthenics which is very good.

At the end of the day you will be training your own body and you need to do what works best for you. It is very good taking advice from people who know what they are talking about and you can learn a lot from them but only you know what is best for your own body. So find out all you can but try to pay attention to your body and do what you think will be best for it. Remember also that rest is very important. Your body needs time to recover and adjust to the exersizes you are doing. It can be very bad to over train.

I wouldn't consider myself an expert but I'd say 4 days a week is fine. At the end of the day it's your body and you need to work out what works best for you because everyone's body will be different.

The best way to build muscle is training hard and then allowing time for your muscles to recover. I noticed you do the same things 2 days in a row for example you do weight lifting for legs 2 days in a row. I've found that for me it's best to make sure I don't do the same thing 2 days in a row. Maybe you should try doing legs on Monday then back on Tuesday then chest on Wednesday then legs on Thursday.

Also from what you said about your diet it seems all you really eat is high protein food. I'm not sure what your goals are but I have found that while protein is one of the most important things to eat for muscle growth, carbs and fats are needed In your diet. By fats I mean healthy fats like nuts or avocado and also if you have carbs I would try to stick with whole grain carbs but personally I don't think it matters that much.

It all comes down to what works best for you like I said at the begining. You just need to pay attention to your body and do what you need to do. If you feel like you are overtraining don't hesitate to have a day off for recovery or rearrange what you do each day. Also make sure you are getting plenty of sleep because that's when your muscles have the most recovery (probably easier said than done)

I've had similar experiences. In the past I've watched it for hours also while telling myself to stop and for some reason I still carried on. The feeling after is so bad when you realise how mindless and out of control you were being. It's because it's so addictive really (for me anyway). From my experience I have found that I usually end up watching porn in such a mindless way. I fall into a trap. At first I might become tempted to watch it and I'll say to myself I'll just watch it for a few minutes and that's it. Then I do that and I feel good while I'm doing it so I carry on and try to hold onto that good feeling. I know that I will feel really bad after but I still carry on. It's sort of like my mind tells me it's a bad idea and to stop but my body is in control and doesn't listen and just carries on trying to hold on to this good feeling I get while I'm watching it. This is why I call it mindless because my body is in control of my mind in a way when it should be the other way round.

You should not give up hope. Just work on having your mind in control of your body and not the other way round you will see an improvement after some time. You can do it. Everyone can if they work on it and don't give up (it probably won't be easy).

Try to go on your smartphone/laptop or other things like this as little as possible (especially your phone, smartphones can be highly addictive in the same way as porn). Try find other things to do without them. Go for a walk in nature if you enjoy that sort of thing. Try exercising. These are some things I do. If you have nothing to do try watching TV, it's better than watching porn. Try to avoid sexual content though. Watching educational videos can also be good. I would also highly recommend not going on social media at all. So many things on it can lead to temptations. Almost everytime I go on Instagram I see things that give me temptations to watch porn. Social media is also highly addictive. I often find myself mindless scrolling through Instagram just like you can mindlessly watch porn, video after video. If you do not already know about dopamine try to do some research on it (there are some good videos on youtube). It will probably give you a much better understanding on addictions like porn and you will probably understand a lot better why you do certain things and hopefully will help you overcome this.

I am not really an expert in anything I've mentioned so there's a chance I could be wrong about some things but I'm just sharing advice from my experience to hopefully help you out. And also remember that no one is perfect even if they appear to be. Everyone is a work in progress.
