So I am just randomly considering the muscle building power of calisthenics and I wondered something.
Lets say that a big guy (like me) decides to do calisthenics and instead of doing higher rep stuff, he does lower rep and higher intensity movements. Does the muscle building potential increase because he his heavier? I always run across all these transformation stories of heavy guys losing a bunch of weight doing calisthenics. But what if they instead work towards staying big and using calisthenics to build muscle? Could a 250lbs fat guy become 250lbs of muscle?
Yet another attack from my brain... Ha!
