Free weight vs. bodyweight

Free weights offer simple progressions and more isolation possibilities.

Calisthenics athletes will often benefit from supplementing their training with free weights. Furthermore, while extreme upper body strength can be achieved with bodyweight exercises, high levels of lower body strength can only be attained with weights.

Progressing with bodyweight exercises is more complex, and that is one of the reasons for creating this app: to make it easier for the athlete to choose the right exercises for optimal progress.
