          because I want to talk about weighted calisthenics.

            Next time, just make a thread about weighted calisthenics instead of trying to force people to agree that weighted vests are part of your human biology.

      What sets calisthenics exercises apart from weightlifting isn't the fact that it's bodyweight. Your muscles don't know the difference between your bodyweight and an external weight. What sets the two apart is the fact that calisthenics is closed chain. You're going to be firing a lot more stabilizing muscles to do calisthenics. You will never achieve the amount of core stabilization required to do something like a plank or a pushup doing a bench press, for example. You will also never learn how your glutes turn off your hip flexors in order to put all the strain on your abs. There's a lot more happening under the hood of a calisthenics exercise than an open chain weightlifting exercise and that's why calisthenics type exercises are the gold standard of physical therapy. These types of exercises teach body control and proprioception

        Yeah okay, great, but OP never said "calisthenics," he ONLY said "bodyweight."

          context is important. Fighting over semantics is absolutely moronic

            If you wear a weighted vest you are still doing calisthenics but you are no longer doing bodyweight. This is not semantics, it's a genuine distinction. Say what you mean next time, words matter.

              So is still the same workout, just not bodyweight?

              >but muh autism gatekeeping
              >muh definitions
              sure, it's not bodyweight.

              But both are synonims, like being a troony chaser and getting AIDS.

                Glad we agree, maybe next time you'll say what you actually mean.

                >But both are synonims
                They are not. Calisthenics with added weight is not bodyweight. Bodyweight exercises are calisthenics with no added weight.

                What's the difference between being 180 lbs with a 20 lb vest on and being 200 lbs?

                The difference is that the weight isn't part of your body. You are lifting more than your bodyweight.

                israeli media is who tries to blur the lines between words and make things mean more than they actually do, reducing vocabulary to control how people both speak and think. I'm literally doing thee opposite, encouraging vocabulary diversity so that we can discuss topics with nuance.

                How are you encouraging vocabulary diversity when you are doing the exact opposite by pointing out that OP didn't use the correct word?

                OP is saying bodyweight and calisthenics are exact synonyms, I'm saying they have distinct separate meanings. The latter is more diverse vocabulary because it allows more words with more meanings and thus greater nuance of discussion, where the former just tries to make multiple words the same and reduce nuance.

            It's external, added weight that is not part of your body. You're simulating being heavier than you actually are.

            Being overweight adds weight to your entire body, a weight vest adds weight to your torso.

        This is really helpful, thanks anon. Funny tidbit, my physical therapist told me that closed chain exercises have benefits not found in open chain when it comes to training stabilizers, but it didn't click for me until now. I was seeing her over the summer for some wrist pain that had come and gone for a year, but it got really bad right after an unrelated hand injury. Part of her prescription was to replace bench press with push up regressions.

    I like it when liftards pretend like bw exercises are easily outgrown and then can't do 15 decline pushups without gassing to death

    Vests are cumbersome and don't actually add that much weight to you. I think most vests max out at 20 pounds.

      gymtards can't even do a single isometric no legs hand push up without gasing in 3 seconds.

      I have a 30kg vest (66lbs?) and yes it's very cumbersome. It sucks taking it off and on inbetween sets, but leaving it on while resting also sucks. For Dips and Chin-ups I'd rather use my dip belt since you can add way more weight without having to squeeze sandbags in and out of those stupid little pockets. For exercises like Push-ups and Inverted Rows a vest is more convenient though.
