Been doing lots of body weight exercises until about.. a week ago when my bf just picked up a gym pass.

Body weight excerises are great but it can only get you so far until you have to start repping it out like crazy. When i was overweight, i could barley do a single one and get sore the next day after doing 15. Now my biggest problem is not falling asleep while doing pushups (figuratively speaking.)
For lower back exercises i always stuck with just normal conventional dead lifts. Or Russian deadlifts, however you want to word it. Didn't do too many lower back exercises, that way i can go heavy and get some pretty mid to high reps with it. I don't want a really thick lower back, more of a thicker upper back and a smaller lower back. It's all personal preference for me though.
Did you pick up a gym pass along with your bf? The gym is a excellent place to start if you have it to your disposal.
