Will bodyweight exercises maintain muscle until I can lift again?

no
you will lose muscle very quickly if your bodyfat is below 10%

Depends which exercises and how much you do them, but yeah probably. Also depends how much muscle you already have I guess.

Just do pushups, pullups, and pistol squats until you can hit the weights again.
>>
Lifting should be your main concern.

Army, fucked breh.

No, but you can stilltry to minimize what you lose by doing them

Adding sandbags technically isn't pure calisthenics but helps with pistols and you can try to do pull ups and dips with extra weight

You're kinda fucked on shoulders and posterior chain since there's not much you can do to ramp up the difficulty after handstand pushups and there's nothing that can really replace DLs

Learn Charlew Alas' routine Op.

Most users here don't have the ankle mobility or balance to do pistol squats correctly.

Pistol squats are piss easy. I could do them before I even started training.
>>
>>36990500
Regular atg squats use more ankle flexibility than pistol squats. Pistol squats let you sit further back and keep a straighter ankle

When under calorie maintenance or better, muscle atrophy is mostly a meme.

If it's only like a week or a month sure. If it's anything over that I doubt it. I only do bodyweight shit but the advanced stuff and it's the only way you can actually gain muscle doing bodyweight unless your a man let or new
