Does Weight Matter in Calisthenics?
Every kilogram of bodyweight is load that must be moved on every rep. Heavier athletes typically have more absolute muscle mass, which can translate to impressive raw strength - but it also means harder levers, more stress on joints, and slower skill progression on static holds.
The athletes on this list have managed to build extraordinary bodyweight control despite - or because of - carrying more mass than most. Their strength-to-weight ratios are often more impressive than the numbers suggest.
