Calisthenics also makes you lean. You will never see a guy who is elite at calisthenics with a gut. However, there are tons of guys who are elite weight lifting with beer bellies.

I don't do nothing but calisthenics for my upper body for this reason. Pullups, pushups, and dips are my go to upper body exercises. Only thing I need the gym for is the barbell squat (which is really just weighted calisthenics).

By that logic bench press is also weighted calisthenics....Lat Pulldowns are weighted calisthenics....

They have guts taking because they are Taking something.

This is the absolute truth. That’s why most fighters don’t work out well weights make your muscular but calisthenics actually work your Neural system.

No. Its cause you don't need to be lean to be elite at bench pressing. However, to be elite at pullups requires you to be lean because excess body fat makes that exercise more difficult since you are moving your body in space in opposition to gravity. Compare that to the bench press where you are laying on your back. Your body has no stimulus forcing it to be lean to accomplish that exercise.

Calisthenics by the nature of its exercises requires the body to become lean. The same sort of requirement doesn't exist when lifting weights.

No because you can still do normal body weight squats and get a good workout. You would just need to do lots of reps because most people can squat their bodyweight pretty easily. Bench press and lat pulldowns are actions where your body weight is not part of the resistance and thus its not calisthenics.

Calisthenics = using your body weight as resistance

Weighted calisthenics = using your body weight + external weights as resistance

Unless your body weight is involved as part of the resistance it isn't calisthenics.

Don't you weigh like 120?
Of course you'd be lean

Im talking about those who compete. Dudes who are stocky are usually power lifters.

Pull ups don’t require you to be lean. I don’t know where you got that from.

@BrothaZay makes a calisthenics thread every other week cause he’s convinced himself that weights are useless.

If only he knew that all these dudes he post from YouTube are getting injections
