Can you actually get away with home calisthenics forever? [srs]

Imagine no gym-going, and you don't have room to turn into a cage + weights.

So you buy a pull-up bar, some weights and push ups.

What do when u have you reach super high bw rep range
communist until you get rich
rightwing until financially secure
atheist until the plane starts falling
slootist until you get married
muslim after you get married

Slow negatives

Static holds

More difficult variations?
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

With some heavy water gallons, you could do romanian deadlift, combined with nordic curls and pistol squats, you would have athletic legs and powerful by any standard, same with upper body if you bought rings and even without.

The hardest thing is training at home, especially a small one, most people need a dedicated place to lift (big home with a garage or gym or outdoors)
