I already put a killer thread in the gym section on calisthenics:
http://www.thecoli.com/threads/cali...ere-was-my-routine-while-incarcerated.354286/
But now let me explain why if you take the time out and do Calisthenics it can be just as effective as weights, if not more effective.
For one the body only understands resistance, so no matter if your doing a push-up or benching the body won't know.
With that being said you can't master weights nor calisthenics.
There will always be an amount of weight you can't lift,and there will always be a number of Pushups or pullups you can't do within a certain amount of time.
Weights build muscle from the outside then the inside,calisthenics builds from the inside then out.
With calisthenics it does get boring because you do the same routines over and yes you can master it to an certain extent if you don't get creative.
With calisthenics a few methods that you can't master are:
Adding more weight,once bodyweight becomes easy get a book bag or a belt and add more weight,you can never master this because there will be a limit one day that you won't get past.
Add more reps,while cutting rest periods,this method is self explanatory.
Try it,but being incarcerated for 6 years,really showed me that calisthenics is just as good as weights,if not better.
