So I’ve seen this a lot, someone will say they do nothing but body weight and see no results(mass,strength,etc). There routines always look like this
100 push ups
200 squats
20 Pull ups
Correct me if m wrong but once you get past the 12 rep mark, your training for endurance. No wonder you not getting stronger and bigger(plus most don’t eat enough). So I’m going to do an experiment for the next 2 months, it will be almost purely body weight, the reason i say almost is because body weight squats are retardedly easy, so I will do barbell full squats, deadlifts,weighted pistols and powercleans for the back and legs.
As of right now my first workout is this
workout a
Deadlift 3x5 85%
One arm push ups 3x8
Chin ups/pull ups 3x8
Inverted sit ups 3x8
workout b
Full squat 3x5
Inverted rows 3x8
Dips 3x8
And I will and weight of course to dips,rows and pullups. but then the next month instead of doing the same stuff all over again ill make the switch to much harder exercises
Ex:handstand Push ups, one arm pull ups(so cool), one arm rows. And ill be drinking milk and eating like crazy all during this, so ill tell you guys my results after. Comment if you wish and tell my what you think.

It looks fine for someone on an Alaskan research station who has no way to get access to weights. Since you have access to a barbell and weights, I’d do something better.
I know exactly what you mean, weights make strength gains really easy, this is more of an experiment, when im done ill see if it was a waste of time or worth the effort, i did starting strength for about 3 months and gains were very good, my legs have never been stronger, but this is a change of pace, the new workout has alot is very fast, its circuit training so my heart rate is high, its intense so strength will be built regardless, and it feels good. But yey weights are alot easier thets why i have some of the best in the workout(my favorite The Deadlift!!)
