When you dip, you eventually get good enough to add weight. Generally you do this with a belt and chain, putting a 10, 25, or even 45 lb plate on your belt and dipping with it.
If you're good at bodyweight squats, you can start to do the same thing. You can add weight, but instead of using a belt, you can use a barbell. Then you can begin adding 10, 25, even 45 lb plates! You'll be amazed at how well you can progress with the exercise that literally every single person on this board recommends you trog.
Yes, but dips are only god-teir because you can add weight when they get too easy. Comparing all of dips to only bodyweight squats is a false equivalency. The equivalent to dips is squats, including weighted squats.
unless you are a cripple and/or morbidly obese, any person can do BW body weight squats for 100+ reps it's fricking cardio bro, do you count walking as quarter squats too? >todays exercise: 10 quarter squats on the way to the fridge
>any person can do BW body weight squats for 100+ reps
nta but it took me atleast a month to do 5x20 ATG bw squats. To be fair I started as depressed, sleep deprived, sedentery and chubby
>how far can you get with bodyweight squats
With the basic calisthenic squat, not very far. Thyere great for beginners for several reasons. Squats with proper form mainly work the quadriceps and they are already big and strong. You can do pistol squats as a more advanced variation of calisthenic squat. Spamming them for high rep isnt useful. After 50 a set they basically just become cardio bc theyre strong enough that just squatting isnt enough resistance. I just changed to goblet squats. Dips work the triceps which are far smaller and weaker but for them the variation matters, an assisted dips>dips
Two options:
1) Do a bunch of shit to try to unfrick your mobility/posture
2) Just stop short of where it happens, usually somewhere between ATG and parallel
as far as your genetics will take you

That's not a body weight squat anymore, moron. The point is to spam them for reps.
>The point is to spam them for reps
Just go for a run at that point

Fair enough, guess I am out of touch with baseline physical ability. Good job, everyone has to start somewhere.
Pretty far if you do the right kind, like bulgarian split squats, pistols, and sissy squats.
bros... what is the LEAST knee pain prone squat? just give me something to work the quads and avoid chicken legs... anything...
I mostly fixed knee pain by stretching. Inflexibility will quietly mess your shit up. Nothing is more agreeable than bodyweight squats otherwise
Can you recommend some stretches? I have horrible flexibility in my hamstrings.
atg front squats

Nowhere. Ever seen an 50 year old asian man who's been squatting every day his entire life? Do they look they have big strong legs?
