When it comes to building strength, both calisthenics and weightlifting have their unique advantages. Calisthenics, which focuses on bodyweight exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, and squats, offers the benefit of portability and functional strength. These exercises mimic natural movements, which improve balance, stability, and coordination. Weightlifting, on the other hand, allows for targeted muscle growth through progressive loading and variety in exercises. Whether you choose calisthenics, weightlifting, or a combination of both depends on your personal goals, but both can help you build strength effectively.
