New to /fit/ not sure what your idea on calisthenics is but tell me, will I ever gain any weight with that? I am pretty skinny and from what Ive heard its harder to grow than with lifting weights.
My story: started about a year ago for a couple of months, was able to get from 0 pullups to 3 sets of 10 pull ups. but didnt rly get weight and didnt observe a visible progress. then I stopped
Now I am exercising again but still have doubts if I it's worth it- this time I am eating a bit better but still not sure if it's just the diet thing or if doing only bodyweight exercises does not allow much growth?
ye inb4 >go to gym. but If possible I would like to stick to calisthenics.

You will gain some weight, but once you adapt enough without progressive overload you won't get much bigger. There's a lot of things you can do to make a certain exercise harder as you go along though, you can take it pretty far. But will you get HYOOGE? No.

You will gain strength, but probably not mass IMO

Guy in pic doesn't look natty (i think), and you definetely cant achieve that with calisthenics

thanks, seems like I will have to stop being asocial and start going to a gym. I hate the time wasted traveling there tho (would take almost an hour for me right now)

think of it as part of the training brah
maybe you can bike there or something when you go cutting
>>
>>37607589
I already bike to work a few times a week and I dont really need any cutting with my skeleton body.

Dude, I fucking hate people but I still make it to the gym. Helps if you have a hat you can use to kind of block the view. I pull mine down pretty low, don't care if I look like an edgey retard I just want to workout in peace.

yeah but to have a good form I would prolly need a buddy for the start, right? cant afford a personal trainer
>>
>>37607678
Nah man just watch videos. I've never had anyone spot or form check me and I've survived a year and a half of lifting so far. Just be smart, start with a bar and don't ego lift. You'll be ok breh. If your form is off the lift should feel weird.

also, whats up with the kettlebell hype?
>>
>>37607775
What's wrong with kettlebells? They're good for recruiting a lot of muscles. They aren't the be all end all of fitness but they aren't useless.
