I don't like thinking of modalities but rather movements. A Hing is a hing be it a barbell deadlift, a kettlebell swing or an unloaded single leg deadlift. Train movement, if you want more muscle mass shorten your rest periods and use a variation that allows you to max out around 8-12, in slow controlled manner, hold a rep back to have one in the tank and eat enough that the concept of food is offensive to you. Calisthenics by the by is hard to build legs with. At the very least grab something heavy (weight vest, kettlebell, sand bag or barbell for squats/hing motions)
I don't have a good program for you but here is a template I've used with success.
Warm up, crawl or loaded carry
Pair upper push and hing pattern
Pair upper pull and squat pattern
Some kind of finisher i.e. Swings, crawling for time, hill sprints (which make me nauseous just thinking of them)
For muscle growth pick a variation/load that lets u get a minimum of 6 reps 3 sets for each movement. Pairs work well since your still resting some between movement but compressing it so your muscles stay under tention.
Works for me, I do put on weight (both fat and muscle) fairly easily, your mileage may vary.
Good luck with your gainzz
