Great post. Calisthenics are amazing! What are your thoughts on weighted versions: weighted pullups, dips, etc?Lifting weights pales in comparison to calisthenics in so many ways its not even funny. The former seems constructive but is actually destructive to your body as any old timer wrapped in bandages whilst smelling like joint cream who slams down painkillers after a session will attest with a grimace as he wishes he'd made better decisions as a youngun. It's all cumulative.
On the flip those who've done primarily body weight training create a very functional and aesthetic frame that endures throughout the game with far better ranges of motion and development of tendons, ligaments, supporting muscles and (best of all) neuromotor activation patterns. I realized this quite a while ago and flipped the script and feel way better now than I did in areas mentioned.
