A common misconception about calisthenics is that you can’t
build an impressive muscular physique, which just isn't the case. At a certain point with calisthenics it doesn't matter how well you’re doing with your routines
and exercises, if you’re not in a calorie surplus you will not be gaining
weight and building bigger muscles.
A
calorie surplus is when you eat more calories than you burn, commonly referred
to as a bulk in the body building community. A fear of many is that when you’ll
bulk you’ll get fat, but that only applies if you go overboard. A rule of thumb
is to lean bulk by only going around 500 calories over your maintenance, but
it’s very important to watch your weight because everyone’s body’s different
and you might need an increase or decrease in the amount of calories.
Myself personally I need
1000 calories over my maintenance to gain weight. Once you get your bulk going
you will start to see notable strength and muscular gains. Remember to stay in
the 8 to around 12 rep range because once you start to go over the 12 reps it
starts to become more of an endurance exercise which could slow down your pace
of gaining a great physique.
