I totally agree! Many underestimate the power of free hand and calisthenic type exercises!

I thoroughly enjoy weighted calisthenics for strength and mass. After all the work I've put in, I was finally able to do one archer pull-up per side, and two reps of archer pushups. Gains all day 💪🏽

I love mixing them both. Especially when my joints feel a little too beat up from heavy weights. Nice to take a break and just do calisthenics for a few weeks

Calisthenics & Weight Training
Calisthenics, or Weights - or Combined...
I get the feeling these training concepts are not always fully understood, or that these methods can't & shouldn't be mixed. It's not a coincidence that the best, strongest, most powerful & fastest athletes (track & field, football/hockey/basketball players, fighters and so on) have been combining calisthenics and weight training for ages.
But most importantly, do what YOU enjoy
There are MANY OPTIONS how you can workout; solely bodyweight - OR any other combination. I show examples of everything in the video and how you can create your own workout after your preference (and backpack or bands are of course optional too).
1. Weight exercises (open kinetic chain) + calisthenics exercises (closed kinetic chain)
2. Weight exercises + weighted calisthenics
3. Weighted calisthenics + calisthenics exercises
4. Only calisthenics/bodyweight exercises (no additional load)
The concept of PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD applies to both Calisthenics and Weight Training (closed kinetic chain & open kinetic chain exercises). If you don't want to use Weights with P.O you need to make things more challenging to keep making progress.
Keep it simple & just do whatever you feel great with doing
