    Bodyweight/calisthenic workouts for mass?

    Hey guys,

    I've been increasingly busy with school/internships/work and it's hard to make time to workout. The actual workouts don't take that long (45min-1hour), but the gym I go to is pretty far so the time adds up. I've been doing Wendler's 5/3/1 and eating at a caloric surplus, which has moved me closer to my goal of being a lean 185 lb (I plan to cut at around 200). To save time, though, I've been considering doing bodyweight/calisthenics workouts at home, mainly stuff like pullups, dips, and pistol squats, maybe adding a weight vest for resistance. Is it even possible to get that big with bodyweight/calisthenics (assuming I eat at a surplus)? If so, please offer me a routine (exercises and their progressions) to reach my goal.
    On my journey for strength and mass.

    That would be a huge step backwards from 5/3/1 - you can probably forget about gaining any more lean muscle tissue.

    Yeah, that's what I figured. I guess I'll just try to get a power rack at home to save driving time.
