But gymnast with bodybuilder biceps and shoulders have these muscle mass mostly from straight arm work like maltese iron cross, planche with supinated grip. You just have to use extreme levers to stimulate the muscles. They dont care what you do..
When I did calistetics I was I think 152-153lbs n as soon as I hopped into weights I was able to bench 185 it made me pretty damn strong but it was like I didn’t get mass just toned
This false. Even if you do weights, the only way to get bigger is by being in a caloric surplus. If you in a caloric surplus and do calisthenics you will get jacked like guys in prison
I’d definitely prefer calisthenics cause it’s just way more fun than simple weightlifting and damn – calisthenics today has given me explosive core strength 😂😅
I’ve been doing calisthenics for 2 years in total on and off, and I don’t look like the build shown in the vid I am more defined than that, but I ain’t huge tho, but that’s simply because I don’t eat like a bodybuilder, and I’m on/off when it comes to my eating.

It depends on how you do it. For well over 80% of people, for example, it is virtually impossible to get to being able to do, say, 5 full supersets of 15 reps of pull-ups and dips with just 30 seconds in between.
Not true. Tell that to those guys incarcerated. My uncle is constantly locked up in the California penal system, unfortunately and they took away the weight so all they have was calisthenics and when he gets out and he’s swoll as hell. He’s 70yrs old now. When he was 46 he looked like you homie all from pushups and pull ups
Ive seen, and you can find them online, dudes super jacked doing calisthenics, yall forget they add weights to their work out, loke weight vest, this isn’t true
I did only bodyweight workouts for 3 years and got pretty fit for a 40 year old (profile pic). Im 6’1" and stayed around 162lbs but i couldn’t gain any more muscle size. I didnt start looking "jacked" till i added some body fat and started lifting weight. The last 4 years ive gone up from about 8% body fat to maybe 18% body fat and im now 192lbs and definitely look more jacked.
I find that a weighted vest is a good medium between Calisthenics and weightlifting and gives you enough of a challenge. For someone like me who has broken my wrist in the past, it’s difficult to do handstand pushups without pain.
Or make it more challenging because yeah adding weight to calisthetincs makes you not gain more muscle its just when it gets easier you have to make it harder and of course we all know intake a good ammount of protein because all forms of workouts can work to tear and rebuild muscle

Shiiiiit. Check them counties in cali

Really I got bigger when I was in jail with no dumbbells at all. YOURE WRONG
This is cap 🧢 I got an 8pack with only body weight excercise
Lies lies lies
This false. Even if you do weights, the only way to get bigger is by being in a caloric surplus. If you in a caloric surplus and do calisthenics you will get jacked like guys in prison
So real advice
Because many calisthenics bodybuilders also do weight training, but they do not show it in their videos.

Gymnasts disagree……
bro: “you wont get jacked doing calisthenics”
also bro: *shows jacked dude doing calisthenics*
Then why are olympic gymnasts so shredded? All they do is bodyweight exercises they don’t touch weights
Just do weight calisthenics and keep improving 👍
Brodie yapping
Broski what are you talking about
I’ve been doing calisthenics for 2 years in total on and off, and I don’t look like the build shown in the vid I am more defined than that, but I ain’t huge tho, but that’s simply because I don’t eat like a bodybuilder, and I’m on/off when it comes to my eating.
Those cons are jacked AF no weights in better shape than most people

What if you fat doing calisthenics?
You don’t no what you are talking about

That’s where WEIGHTED Calisthenics come in what are on about 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Add reps
Not true. Tell that to those guys incarcerated. My uncle is constantly locked up in the California penal system, unfortunately and they took away the weight so all they have was calisthenics and when he gets out and he’s swoll as hell. He’s 70yrs old now. When he was 46 he looked like you homie all from pushups and pull ups
You was on the juice though right ?
Ive seen, and you can find them online, dudes super jacked doing calisthenics, yall forget they add weights to their work out, loke weight vest, this isn’t true
Who decides limits
This is cap… respectfully… keep increasing your number wit over load … nd dieting
Not true
Brah this man loves himself g
Your wrong on everything you said but go off n sell the sheep your course
The big guys always forget to mention that strength and muscle sizes don’t go hand in hand
Or add more repetion
Just eat in a surplus and do weighted calisthenics it keeps you hella mobile

You don’t need muscle for strength, you just need consistency and disciplinarian
don’t say can’t! it does take longer then weight but it is still very possible many people have done it
This is just pure bs
Or make it more challenging because yeah adding weight to calisthetincs makes you not gain more muscle its just when it gets easier you have to make it harder and of course we all know intake a good ammount of protein because all forms of workouts can work to tear and rebuild muscle
Bro is just subjective😮
No it’s really not a limit to callestinics more volume and more reps
