So I'm reading that body weight exercises will only get me so far in terms of gains unless I add a weight vest or something like that
How do I know when it's time to add weight?
Based on number of reps I can do?
I'm not trying to get HUGE by the way
Just get a Lil bigger and cut up more
I'm about 6 foot 185 (might way more now because I have put on some mass)
Also can I just run to work legs? Don't really feel like working out my legs but don't want to look disproportionate either

Refuse to believe it's not butter
As far as adding weight, I would just try and see what you can add each time and still get quality work in. If ur still just trying to do pullups n pushups, get a backpack and throw the heaviest books you can in. One with a strap works better cuz it stays on your back. Also, if you can do real dips along with pushups, that will help.
Another thing you can try is pyramids, where you start with 1, rest for that amount of time, then 2, rest that amount of time, etc.. til you can't go any higher, then go back down.
Running isn't really gonna do much for size on your legs, unless you do some sprints, and some hills. I'd look online, there are plenty of bodyweight leg exercises, plyometrics, etc that can at least get you in the door. Check out "You are your own gym" by Mark Lauren. Got some decent bodyweight shyt in there. I wouldn't buy it, but if you can cop it from the library or other sources it's a decent read.
lol at running. Sprints, ghetto ham raises/Russian leg curls, and bulgarian split squats will kick your ass with no added weight. I promise you won't be able to do more than three ghetto ham raises if even one

My chest definitely has improved since my bird chest days but the bottom of my chest needs help and I also want to develop that line in the middle of my chest. How do I develop those areas? Chest Flys? I was doing sit-ups but I stopped doing them, I don't really feel like I need to do them as much at this point but I can't lie my obliques are trash. How can I work obliques? I'm starting to raise my legs while I do pull ups as an alternative to sit-ups so if I turn my legs to the side or something that should work on my obliques right? And I definitely gotta start running again though to shrink my butt and my waist lol.

Actually, you can. I knew an Olympian who never lifted weights but ran approximately 50 miles a week. He squatted one day and ended up repping 415 lbs. for about 4 repetitions.
