He put on a lot of mass with his weight training, there's no reason to assume he was any less dedicated to his calisthenics workouts.

Go ahead, and if you like it, you like it. I do nothing but calisthenics since I don't like weight lifting. You won't get nearly as good of gains, but your ROM will be excellent. Consider it more of a trade-off.

Damn how skinny was he to begin with? It's just that people generally think calisthenics don't work well to gain muscles because they're not providing enough tension.

Not a single fucking person in this thread is arguing against calisthenics.

Everyone is saying don't do ONLY calisthenics and if you have to pick between them and lifting, obviously pick lifting.

He didn't win that shit with calisthenics alone you fucking retarded ape.

only real difference here is the abundance of information circulating about weight training/basic cardio designed to appeal to everyone

Quoted By:

You can gain sufficient mass with calisthenics, BUT, you have to do them difficult enough for them to be preformed between the 3-12 rep range. Make sure to hit each muscle at least twice a week.

I've been doing a mixture of weighted calisthenics and pure bodyweight, and I made probably the same amount of gains as I did doing regular lifting.

Weighted chins and dips for fucking life

These guys here think calisthenics is just some push ups and pull ups so don't bother. It doesn't come to their mind that they can progress from pushups to single handed pushups like they are progressing with using more weights in weightlifiting.

aight real talk though I do calisthenics and it's perfectly fine if you know pros and cons and are content with them.

>cons
-Weightlifting will get you bigger and stronger faster than calisthenics will. Period. No question about it.

-If you're a competitive athlete, you need to be doing heavy explosive lifts like push presses and power cleans. Push ups and pull ups aren't enough for *athletic* performance

-Just like weightlifting you have to progress and get stronger, in addition to eating enough.

-There are no bodyweight leg exercises that can even compare to squats and deadlifts

>pros
-it's really fun (main reason I do it)

-your progress is mostly measured in being able to *do* certain moves, like muscle ups, planches etc. which many people find more fun and motivating compared to just continually adding weight to the bar doing the same thing over and over again. I found it way more fun to do my first muscle up than being able to bench 2plate for the first time.

-since you directly benefit from being lean (as opposed to lifting) it's much easier to stay lean year round because it makes your "lifts" go up (whereas your bench will almost always go down if you lean out).

-It's an amazing feeling to feel light as a feather

-It will probably be a bit easier on your joints

-A bit controversial but a lot of olympic coaches claim that all the straight arm work is one of the main reasons why gymnasts have such big biceps

There's probably more on either side but I can't be bothered to post more. In short: There's both good and bad things about calisthenics. Weightlifting is the way if you just want to get big and strong fast. Calisthenics isn't more "functional" than weightlifting or the other way around. Functional is relative. Calisthenics is fun, everyone should at least try it out before hating.

Weight vest will make all bodyweight exercises harder. Also if you're doing calisthenics outside and you don't want to carry a fucking barbell with weights around.
