Barbell Squats and deadlifts are by definition weighted calisthenics. How you add weight to a movement is irrelevant (dip belt, weight vest, barbell, etc), if it's a closed kinetic chain movement and you increase the resistance by adding weight somehow it is weighted calisthenics by definition.
@@IntoTheOutside000Except you're wrong. Deadlifts would not classify as weighted calisthenics because you're lifting weight with your hands, not weight added on to a bodyweight movement. With no weight it's just a squat. Now you could do the hand position and claim you're doing a deadlift, lol but that's silly.
@rashb3994 Any movement done with just body weight is calisthenics, and any calisthenics movement where extra resistance in the form of adding weight to the body, irrespective of the method of adding the weight, is by definition weighted calisthenics. A body weight squat is calisthenics. Add a weight vest, a dip belt, a bumbell/kettle bell in the hands, or hold a weighted back pack with your teeth using your bite force, or a barbell on the back or front of the shoulders, and you just added weight to a calisthenics movement making it by definition 'weighted calisthenics'. Ok now the same logic can be applied to a burpee, a classic calisthenics movement. Now just do the second half where you get up from a squat position with your hands on the floor then press your arms towards the sky. If I add weight to any part of the body of the body during a calisthenics movement it becomes by definition weighted calisthenics. Therefore if I add weight to the hands during the second half of the burpee with a barbell you would essentially have the Olympic clean and jerk. If you can do the free weight movement without a barbell or dumbel and it becomes calisthenics then by definition adding weight to the movement makes it weighted calisthenics. Therefore, just about any free weight movement, by literal definition, is weighted calisthenics. Free weights and weighted calisthenics are a false dichotomy perpetuated by ignorance and tribal mentality. The real dichotomy, if any, would be open vs closed kinetic chain movements. You don't need a kinesiology degree to know something so obvious, you just need an English dictionary. I'm sorry all your debates on weighted calisthenics vs free weights were all predicated on a false dichotomy fueled by the willful ignorance of a tribalistic mentality. It's like arguing that water, ice, and steam are different things when they are merely different expressions of the same thing. If you have invested a lot of time and energy into convincing yourself otherwise then your willful ignorance will not allow you to see something so obvious. And that's ok bro (pats you on the back)
@@chadshowdown9382I’d say so honestly, I switched from powerlifting to weighted calisthenics and the weighted dips? One of the best core exercises you’ll find. You have to keep the core tight and in turn, works your abs. Highly recommend 👍🏻
I maintain 210-215lbs year round and can hit 12 strict pullups with a full pause at chin over bar and slow negatives to full dead hang on each rep. It's decent enough at my BW. I've yet to commit to getting my BW consecutive strict total to 15-20 reps though. Mainly because I get bored with BW and switch back to weighted. As a lifter, I need weight attached to me. 😂
I like to cycle my rep range with a 3 week cycle. Week 1 8-12 Week 2 5-8 Week 3 1-5 Repeat and add 2.5lbs to each top set and go for mini PRs each cycle.
how can i target the lower lats. I highly believe they are key for my athletic power (upper body portion). I mean the lower portion of the lats near the spine. It's hard for me to feel this part. But if i can activate/use those, my performance goes through the roof. pullups, bench, power cleans, sprinting,.. everything is at least 10-15% better. But it's so rare that i can feel those lower lats working..# My goals is to hit 1.5x BW in powerclean, benchpress, pullup. I'm at 1.2-1.3 now.
I seems as deadlift or rows without chest support work best for me. But it could be that fatigue is the problem of lack in activation. In a fresh state i can feel them much better. I do deadlifts only when fully fresh.. @@AryarishiSikdar

Good video and good info, been training weighted bodyweight for a while. Definitely the way to go 💯

Solid video. Solid information. Thanks family.
Thank you brotha
The core activation on dips>>> people still sleep on em
Do your abs get worked a lot on weighted dips?

Same weightat 5'10
Roughly same number. But a lot of weighted
great video bro keep grinding I'm sure you'll grow
I'd change weighted dips for weighted push-ups (with increased range).
Very true bro but if you want that long head of the tricep to be massive I’d recommend cycling through both
Where is this gym and how its called? It looks extremely cool and fun to train there
It’s called Foley’s Fitness, near Portland Maine. It’s def a dope gym.
@@highoctanecalisthenics5555 Sheesh man. Thats 12h 30min away with the plane ahhh. Definitely looks cooler than my gym.
Lotta ass in that gym..
You can also slide the belt off immediately get back on and go to failure with extra slow tempo or whatever tempo your feeling that day 💪😎
It's called drop sets
What kind of gloves do you use? I always see people wear those types of gloves, but I never figured out where to get them.
There regular construction/house work gloves you can get at home depot
for weighted calisthenics, to maximise more weights can you use a weight belt and a backpack at the same time?
Not a bad idea if u put the backpack on from the front, on your back might interfere with your form
@james....LOL.what are you, the world champion ?
Question, How many sets and reps should I do if i want to build muscle with weighted calisthenics?
same as traditional bodybuilding, 6-12 reps for 3-4 sets, which is the hypertrophy reps range
@@magomedyeri7456I find 3-5 heavy reps for 4-5 sets to add more strength and power
2 warm up sets and 2 working sets at 10 reps (until failure) is all you need.
Is there any benefit, or risk, to going past 90 degrees on the dips?
I wouldn’t go too far past 90 degrees weighted. Def an injury risk. For unweighted it helps with mobility.

rows are better at hitting lower lats
L sit chinups hit the lower lats incredibly great
dumbbell rows in a sliding motion
Strict L sit pull ups/ chin ups will help you activate them
I seems as deadlift or rows without chest support work best for me.
But it could be that fatigue is the problem of lack in activation. In a fresh state i can feel them much better. I do deadlifts only when fully fresh.. @@AryarishiSikdar
No weigthed push ups?
Facts coupled with handles that shit never fails to make my chest feel it
No need if you’re doing weighted dips
