As a South Korean, I have to join the army for 2 years soon, and surprisingly, there won't be enough weights in most of the troops in Korea (American soldiers will never expect this situation but weight training is not really prevalent in Korea unlike in America. Many people do lift weights for aesthetics but true strength training is not really popular. It's all bro science bullshit lol)
So, I will have to rely mainly on bodyweight training. I know that I can build super strong upper body and core without super heavy barbells but I'm not quite sure with my lower body and hip power & strength. I know that I can build quite strong legs with bodyweight training such as pistol squats and sprints but can it perfectly replace weighted squats and deadlifts?
Can I actually put more weight on my weighted squats without doing any weighted squat itself and only doing pistols with bodyweight or with some small weights(dumbbells)??
