    I have seen many absolutely shredded men and women building muscle with Calisthenics. They do weighted Calisthenics with progressive overload. Are you going to get the physique of a pro body builder? No, and most people don't want that and don't want to take steroids. You can still get absolutely jacked though and your strength will be way more functional than your average weight lifter. I have always been an advocate for doing a combination of weighted calisthenics and weight lifting for optimal results.

    I think consistenty is the most important thing for seeing muscle growth. If variety allows people to enjoy their workouts, they’re more likely to be consistent and keep going back to the gym. I think rotating the exercise selection week to week is ideal for those who crave novelty.

    Daniel Vadnal is the best example of a top notch physique built through calisthenics. I've been following this man on YouTube for a number of years now and his consistency is amazing.

    Thank you for the emphasis on the workout log, I never written my exercices and felt demotivated as I was not keeping an eye on my progress. Also I was always sore because I tried to many new exercices or bored because I kept doing my routine without checking my real progression.
