Sure, getting ripped isn't really a matter of size as much as it's a matter of low bodyfat, as long as you are lean, cuts will show
current bests
deadlift- 360
squat- 260
bench- 240

As long as you're okay with considered 140lbs 'ripped'.

I know some guys that are doing alright with just body weight excercises. If it were me, I would lift weights if it was at all an option. Push-ups and sit-ups get pretty easy after awhile. You probably wont gain much mass but you can lose body fat. So depends on your goals I guess.

the answer is "no"
not without throwing in a set of dips :PEat for what you are about to do, not for what you have already done.
if i don't know how to cut ,why would i be bold enough to bulk?
'Failure' isn't a requirement for growth, but progression is.

Add in some bodyweight squats (single leg squats once 2 legs gets to easy).
When push-ups get easy elevate your feet to make it harder or set 3 chairs up so you can increase the ROM by going deeper and getting a nice stretch.
I dislike crunches; I would do ab wheel rollouts. That's a more complete core exercise.
Pull-ups and their many variations are great. So are dips.
If your diet is right you could make some decent progress on a BW routine.Planted like a tree beside the river of truth.

You might have, if the Ban Hammer hadn't nailed you. But now there's no hope for you.

You can always add weights when it gets easy, I have a friend that used to train for years at home using only "body weight" exercises, and he is one of the strongest and well built person I've ever seen(though he does have like perfect genetics..), when body weight became easy he used to put a bag with heavy stuff in it for extra weight, you can use bottles of water to measure the weights and progress.

Hey Kegel, yes i mix alot of that stuff into my weight lifting.... Bodyweight exercises are good for ending a routine or doing supersets of them. Check out my vid for alot of advanced variations that you can use.
