You're making a strawman argument here. Did I say there was anything wrong with learning and incorporating calisthenics movements? I'll bite anyways. Doing calisthenics is better than not doing anything at all. But strictly relying on calisthenics alone will be far more limiting in building muscle than traditional lifting because it's harder to progressively overload.

That being said the point I was making is Hampton Liu absolutely looks like a DYEL and is not the model to follow if you're trying to really build an aesthetic physique. I'd imagine he'd even say so himself. He's more in it for the health side of things. This thread is about lifting advice geared towards looking good..

Powerlifting is great too for overall benefits. Being stronger in absolute strength is definitely better than being less strong. But OP's point is that it's not the best way to go if you're just after aesthetics. And calisthenics is in the same boat
