Switching from weight lifting to calisthenics

[Deleted member 22714]

I've been weight lifting for around 1.5 years now and packed on quite some muscle. My goal for weight lifting has been mostly for aesthethic purposes.

Considering this I've been thinking of fully switching to calisthenics. My fear is losing a lot of muscle mass and strength, not being able to retrieve it through calisthenics alone. I'm only 71kgs at 5'9 and I feel as if i should actually bulk up more before looking to lean down.

My motivation is revealing my hollow cheeks + sharp jawline since my dad + brother has the same whose quite lean.

Anyone experience with this switch and how it goes?

It really easy to stop training in this switch. You can do whatever your goal is in the gym, u need to check your diet more.
