Indeed. I was speaking more to the possible perception that barbell training and body weight training were two different things completely. They are both resistance/weight training, and are alike in more ways than different. You are pushing/pulling with resistance, at a given angle, and that builds certain muscles and burns calories.
I think people get silly about it. Traditional dick waving stuff.
I'm a barbell partisan, but I have a few bodyweight-ish things sprinkled here and there. Pushups are an excellent assistance exercise for the overhead press and for the snatch/jerk lockout positions. Pullups or chinups are fun and develop the latismuss dorsi, a key muscle for the snatch and clean.
The larger view is problematic, though. Progressions in bodyweight training often require large leaps in resistance and the development of new skills.
For conventional barbell training you can progress in increments of a kilogram.
