Is it possible to achieve this body solely through calisthenics? What kind of routine would I need? The only weights I have is a 35 kg barbell.
What kind of diet? I am kind of chubby and was thinking of starting body recomposition soon.

With testosterones enanthate? Yea.
I'd prefer if there was a natty way. I don't wanna put steroids or any funny supplement/hormone in my body
No. Look at a picture of a gymnast (eg. Raj Bhavsar) and that's pretty much the biggest bodyframe you'll get if you do purely cali and eating just slightly above your calorie maintenance for YEARS even on an Olympic training program. Bodyweight is not enough of a resistance to induce hypertrophy past a point, all you will get is just strength and endurance. The body removes excess muscle, so unless you're wearing weighted vests and/or using weights for higher resistance, you're mainly strength-gaining on a pure cali pov. You wanna get aesthetic and/or big, you gotta hit higher numbers than just bodyweight.
>get fatter
>bodyweight goes up
>get bigger muscles because of more bodyweight
gymnasts are small because its disadvantageous for their sport to bulk up
if you just care about physique and the physique you want is fat like OPs pic you can just put on fat lol
I don't care much about aesthetics or being ripped. I just want to be strong, the kind of strength that can help out in my daily life.
Actually according to that one inforgraph from startbodyweight, don't I only have to do 4-8 reps for strength?
>don't I only have to do 4-8 reps for strength?
Yes but how are you going to do that with calisthenics? Unless you're really just starting or are doing crazy hard variations - seems like a lot of work to me
Calisthenics + Low reps?
Every calisthenic exercise I do is at least 15 reps, most more and I'm fairly heavy
Yeah, that was kind of what I was planning on doing, harder variations. Watching my lifting numbers go up doesn't feel as exciting as finally mastering a movement that seemed impossible before.
idk what made you think that from my post. I purposefully chose a photo of that body because I'm sure this is what builtfat looks like, and being strong is my goal. Otherwise, I could have just googled any ripped aesthetic body and posted that here. I searched for hours for this pic to make sure to convey that I wanted a strongfat body. Sure, aesthetics is a nice bonus but like I said, thats not my original goal.
"Is it possible to achieve this body solely through calisthenics?"
>i dont care about how it looks i just want the strength teehee
aight man I think you're baiting at this point, but alright, whatever floats your boat. I'm just here for advice.
>I don't care much about aesthetics or being ripped.
no, you definitely do, dont kid yourself
read your first post, dont backpedal
you are lifting to achieve a look, just because that look isnt a typical aesthetics brah doesnt mean you arent
Same hypertrophy results for 8 reps to 35 reps as long as you reach failure. So your «Not enough resistance» argument fails. You don’t need to add weight if you can go more than 8 pull ups, just add reps. I’ve yet to find someone on this board that can do 35 pull ups in a row.
To anwser you OP, yes it’s possible, the hard thing would be the delts though.
You’ll need wall Handstand Push-Ups and the technique is difficult to master.
Yeah, but I have another problem when it comes to handstand push ups. My heads feels like it will explode and my breathing seizes when I get into handstand position.
also, idk if I wanna do more than 8. see
, the infograph said I'll only need 4-8 reps for strength.
You won’t get anything near that body with only 8 bodyweight reps, what happens when you reach 8 reps easily and don’t want to add weight nor reps ?NN4AW
>implying 35 pull ups or 60+ push ups till failure isn't endurance and doesn't give same results as hyper
stop giving op false hope you fricking moron.
op just do the program. google proper calisthenics progression. go on reddit if you must because they absolutely have beginner progression sheets. whatever frickshit exercise you do be in calisthenics or weight lifting, as long as you can do more than 8 reps and your goal is purely strength, move on to the next variation/increase weight. its the number 1 basic principle that everyone forgets and its homosexual like that provides false hope. with purely strength calisthenics at 4-8 reps, you will not be able to reach that goal body. that being said, figure out your goals and know what's a realistic looking body for the type of goal you want like what these
gays said. recommend you to have 10-15 rep ranges of basic exercises alongside 4-8 reps like
absolute brainlet and DYEL
nobody ever talked about 60+ reps fricking illiterate gay, and it's a known fact 8 to 35 reps produce the same amount of hypertrophy if pushed to failure. https://youtu.be/rW3qkooaqV8
lurk more you fricking noob.
>Raj Bhavsar
this guy is literally swole and aesthetic
I think it's possible but it takes longer than just weightlifting, because you gotta do way more reps.
I posted my progress of 1 year on /cbt/
- calisthenics only
Don't have a before picture but I was just fatter with way less muscle
From what I read online you can build muscle at any intensity, but intensities that are
too low (<30%1RM) or
too high (>80%1RM)
Build muscle less efficiently even with the same volume.

You need to workout and eat a lot of healthy food.
unfortunately the healthy food part is a problem. I come from a country where people eat tons of carbs
