Can i build good physique natural with strength training calisthenics?

With good diet

No it's a big cope to be honest and only wear's off your joint's and give's you more joint pain/problem's then if you just lifted and spent 15$ a fortnight at your local gym.

Just lift weight

 

[PapaGremlin]

It's okay for overall mobility but no, for anything noticeable you need resistance training.

 

[eduardkoopman]

maybe.
depends on your genetics mostly

Just lift weight

I lack the balance to do free weights. Machine work exacerbated this 100x over. How do I fix my fucked up balance?

Calisthenics can work but you'll be doing annoyingly high reps and there's no real solutions for legs.

if you’re “strength training” (low reps) you will not build a good physique.

if you do 8 - 12 reps progressive overload with weights you’ll grow just like with weights.

weights are better for training for aesthetics.

idk what this retard is talking about. calisthenics, especially with rings, is way better for your joints and developing tendon length, real world strength.

if you’re like me and your lack of “balance” and stability is caused by your genetics; i have thin wrists, naturally undeveloped shoulders, deformed duck + deer legs, asymmetric hips. if you struggle with any of these i recommend doing isometrics and stretches to build stabilization strength. obviously don’t do calisthenics for legs, try the smith machine, try doing bulgarian split squats, try the leg press.

to answer the thread title: yes you can, just recreate your weight lifting routine with calisthenics movements. ex: decline pushups instead of inclined bench. ring rows instead of dumbbell rows. wide grip pull ups instead of deadlift. close grip pushups instead of close grip bench

lol exactly. Some people seemingly know less than nothing and just type anything, which will often be the opposite of reality. It's hard to spot a troll from a retard sometimes.

start doing it instead of trying to make plans to optimize everything and not actually doing it.

and define good.

 

[Tonymontana]

Very likely no

Can't believe people still believe in this meme, low reps build size just as well as high reps if the total volume is matched. There is a massive correlation between size and strength. These specializations for size vs strength only make a difference for very advanced lifters. As a beginner your focus should be on lifting heavier and heavier, not doing sets of 12 reps with meme weights.


With that being said OP, the short answer is no. Calisthenics don't give you much leeway in terms of progressive overload since the most you can do is slightly altering form or doing more reps, which will quickly just become endurance training. If you have some weights you can attach to yourself, like doing weighted pushups, dips, and pull-ups it'll make things a lot more efficient, but still not as good as using real weights. Just go to the gym

 

[DoctorLooksmax]

you can look better than average skinnyfat dude but honetly weights are just so much better so just go gym

 

[GGalex]

Working out doesnt grow muscles

 

[Gurthee_Dong]

Prioritize form

Keep the muscle under tension throughout the rep. Do excruciatingly slow reps.

Brrrrr

 

[germanlooks]

Weighted dips and weighted pull ups with applying progressive overload are legit.

The rest is mostly cope for building muscle and just serves the purpose of showing off skills

Hell no, its hard to get a good body lifting with weights with full intensity. You still have to lift for like 3-5 years
