bodyweight works belongs at both ends of a training continuum. We ought to learn to move our own bodies in the ways we could as children – we need to demonstrate basic coordination and enough strength to carry off walking, running, jumping, getting up off the ground, standing on one leg, etc. But then I believe the kettlebell makes the best next choice, and after that, the barbell to be able to truly load heavy, and finally bodyweight exercise. Bodyweight movements like pistols and one-arm pushups have a higher entry skill level than either kettlebells or barbells, and they’re also the most difficult on which to achieve an appropriate level of difficulty for each person.
