There might be some truth to this. I became one of the stronger nikkas on my football team back in high school just by doing 4 sets of 20-25 pushups every night. Nothing too crazy. This was between the winter ending of the previous season and going into the spring of my senior year. I ended up getting a starting spot out the gate off that alone. Btw I wasn't particularly big either like 6 ft 180

body weight exercises are better because you are always training several muscle groups at once and because you have to do more balancing, so your also training smaller muscles.

I never really compared it, but i felt that I build muscles and grew stronger quicker by doing body weight exercises than when i used to go to the gym and also that I didn't lose strength and muscles as quick when i didn't work our regularly.
