In today's video I go over 10 calisthenics exercises that build the most muscle! These exercises will get you the most bang for your buck so you won't waste time on pointless exercises!

We start this list with an all time classic, the pullup! With a focus on pulling the arms down (even though the bar will stay still) and pointing the chest towards the bar, there's no exercise that will build bigger and better lats than this!

We then move on to a calisthenics classic that will explode your shoulder growth, and that is wall handstand pushups! Be sure to keep your body straight when doing these and keep in mind not to flair out those elbows too much. The reason why we chose wall handstand pushups over regular handstand pushups is because of the stability and balance required to perform the handstand pushup. With wall handstand pushups, you can focus on training closer to failure rather than worrying about keeping your balance leading to more deltoid gains!

Up next we have an exercise not often talked about, and that is pseudo planche pushups! Pseudo planche pushups is going to take your chest gains to the next level! Due to pushing your bodyweight more in line with your bodies center of gravity, you will feel insane resistance because you quite literally are pushing more of your bodyweight!

After those we do another exercise that isn't talked about very often and that is front lever raises! Front lever raises are the bodyweight equivalent to lat pulldowns! This is seriously going to take your lat gains to the next level and build more of that "Dorito" shaped v-taper physique!

Can't skip leg day, and in this list we have included one of the best leg exercises if you're going bodyweight only and that is pistol squats! Pistol squats are the same exact thing as normal squats, you just do them on one leg! Hang onto a wall if you need to and be prepared to take your leg gains to the next level with this exercise!

A controversial exercise is included in this list and that is sissy squats! Sissy squats are controversial due to the whole knees being over the toes deal. While yes, if you happen to have knee pain or trouble this exercise more than likely will not be the best choice for you, if your knees are perfectly healthy and you warm up properly you shouldn't experience any trouble and can enjoy your quadriceps growing bigger!

Next we have an isolation exercise for the biceps, and that is going to be ring curls! Obviously you're going to need gymnastic rings for this one, and all you have to do is set them up as low as you want and curl your own body! The lower the rings, the more resistance you will experience!

Now we are going to be sharing my favorite exercise, and that is the dip! Dips are essentially the upper body squat. Dips will build you bigger chest, shoulders, and triceps, so if you want more push muscle gains, look no further than this time tested exercise!

One of the HARDEST exercises on this list in my opinion, we have Nordic curls! Nordic curls work the back half of your legs known as hamstrings! Working hamstrings will not only improve the way your legs look, it can also be vital to avoid injuries whilst squatting!

Last but certainly not least we've got an exercise meant to improve back width, we have inverted rows! Inverted rows work the upper back leading to more thickness from the side. On top of that it can also have some carryover into improving your posture as well!
