Bodyweight exercises

[STAYHUNGRY]

I live near Venice Beach here in California and there are a group of guys that just workout doing chins, dips ,etc. While not humongous, these guys are ripped to shreds! I also have noticed that rock climbers are super ripped. There seems to be some kind of correlation between bodyweight exercises and bodyfat. I don't know what it is but most people I have seen that do a lot of boydweight exercises have very low bodyfat. Same with Olympic gymnasts who do a ton of bodyweight exercises and are some of the leanest athletes in the world.

Is there a workout question in there somewhere?

If there is no workout question, I'm going to move this to the Lounge.

Thanks,

I think he was wondering what the correlation is between people who mainly do bodyweight exercises and body fat is. IMO it really is most likely just the fact that endurance atheletes do a lot of cardio.

Im sure its how the body adapts to it's need to be constantly mobile. IE. rock climbing requires ltos of constant movement and support, so maybe the body builds strength, and reduces bodyfat to make this task more easy? OR maybe they just eat a lot of tofu. =)
