Hi /fit/, I'm currently about 60 kgs, 180 cm and looking to bulk. I already have the diet in order (Only clean shit, but still over 2500 cals a day)
Are bodyweight exercises enough?

No they are not, the problem with bodyweight exercises is how to manage progressive overload. If you can only do 1 pull up right now you wouldn't be able to add another rep the next session. Even for easy exercises like push ups things become messy, if you only are able to do 20 push ups you would have to add one more each working session. With time this becomes unsustainable as you would end up doing hundred of push ups which works well for endurance but not for hypertrophy. After that you would have to increase weight by putting weight on you back which defeats the whole purpose of doing bodyweight exercises, you might as well just bench press. It's a good start but if you are looking to bulk in a controled fashion then a gym is the best choice.

Nigga, you crazy.
But on a serious note, bodyweight is enough in the beginning. It is enough later on as well, if you just buy rings and dedicate yourself towards a gymnastics routine.
Thing is, you need to do it smart. It's gonna be slower.

Nah, that's wrong. You just change the way you do the movement. Tweak it to make it harder. In the process, your body adapts to different angles, movements, compromising positions, etc.
For best results, both weights and bodyweight should be done, tbqh.

You can do it m9, I started out being 191cm and 62kg. Would recommend getting a gym membership and following a program that has compounds and progressive overload. I've gained about 20kg of muscle in 2 years now, currently 191cm 84kg and a bit less bodyfat than when I started.
