Neither Calisthenics nor cardio is going to boost your testosterone like compound leg movements. Legs are the largest muscles in the body and cardio isn't going to increase muscle mass. Now I'm not saying you shouldn't do these things, I do them, but for the sake of this discussion squats and deadlifts is king.
Agreed. I like Calisthenics and believe it the type of exercises that suits me the best. I don't like going to gyms for many different reasons. But I can't replace deadlift and squat. Deadlift and squat are truly the king to not just build mass but also boost the natural hormone. I ended up buying a set of barbells and squat stands at home.
