You will not get huge unless you leave humanity behind. It's simply not possible. Calisthenics are limited by your body mass and whatever stack of books you put on your back/chest/shoulders. Weights will get you to the same point in a quarter of the time that calisthenics will, and calisthenics have an exponential decay that's much faster than weights. All calisthenics are good for is passing military physicals, and maintaining bare minimum musculature when you have zero access to equipment such as during a pandemic or when in prison.

Only way you'll get like that guy doing calisthenics is with roids, unless of course you're bigger than thin and want to slowly get down to his size

Short answer - no.

To develop such physique, you have to do heavy work, but only with small bursts of high power. You will also have to go for a dirty bulk and pop some Ukrainian vitamin B6. There is no way to simulate those sort of conditions with your own body weight. You will gradually become stronger and more toned, meaning that you will be able to do more work, because, for example, 30 push ups will be a child's play to you, hence, you will do more push ups, to get that burn, which then will strain your muscles more for endurance, rather than power, and your muscle cross section will not increase, but it's density will increase.

I did calisthenics for one summer, just for shits and giggles with a buddy. You will develop grip strength, get slightly wider back, gain a bit on your arms and stabilise your core. Downside is that there's just no way to work on your legs sufficiently, and you have to do loads of chest work, to compensate for only working on your back every day.

Basically no. You can sprint, plyometrics in general, Overcoming Gravity, etc but it won't be enough. If you have the mindset of a twice convicted violent murderous thug that kills with his bear hands then maybe – point being that if your mind makes you produce the necessary hormones every day most every hour then yeah, you're good.

If you don't have the mind of a psychopathic caveman or wild predatory animal then it won't work. You can of course, after getting a feel for it, get the hormone side of things without the cavepsycho animal. Good luck.

And eat onions.
