Progressive overload is the basic of all muscle growth. You need add weight/make a exercise harder to continue to grow. The rep range must be kept below ~15 reps/set for optimum muscle growth (around 8~12 is sweet spot).
This is why you cannot keep doing more and more push-ups to get a bigger and bigger chest. This is why you cannot keep curling your waterbottle 1000x and get big biceps.
This is why people do barbell squats instead of doing 9999 reps of body-weigh squats. This why people bench press instead of doing 9999 pushups.
This is why weighs and gyms exist.Not every sport is focused on building mass. Getting "in shape" doesn't mean building slabs of muscle to some trainees. Respect that.
Do you realize how disliked you are around here? I've been lurking and observing people's reaction and attitude towards you and your posts.
It's sad to see. The fact that you "may" have posted useful info in the past has been overshadowed by your mounting arrogance and elitist attitude which is alienating people towards you.

Calisthenics is a big waste of time. Go gym can get same result 10x faster with simple progressive overload.

Honestly you guys if don't wanna go gym, just buy a pull-ups/dip station, dipping belt, and 60kg worth of weights.
Do weighted pull-ups and dips for 3 years and you'll be jacked as fuck.
Fck all this bodyweight calisthenics crap.You're just rude. Period.
