Calorie vs protein
Which is more important to building muscle? Protein intake or calories? Recently I was tracking and getting about 3600-3800 calories a day and I wasn’t gaining any weight or making progress. My carb intake was super high. Recently I am trying to switch to a much higher protein intake. Which is more important for adding mass? I have not been making progress while eating 3600-3800 calories I’m not sure why? (Yes I track my calories, usually underestimate)

Volume
Another question about how many times a week I should workout. My current plan is push pull leg rest and then repeat. Should I stick with this or increase how often I do push pull? If you have a better weekly plan for muscle mass can you please share this with me!

@Brandon Maloney thanks bro 🙏 that’s some crazy good info. I have been following Daemons YouTube videos as well about training for mass and strength. He talk about instead of doing sets and reps to hit a certain number of reps that session. So for example my last pull day I do front lever workout for strength and then I hit 80 pull-ups for that session. Next session I need to either make the 80 in less time or shoot for 90 reps for the session. That does go against what you said for trying to keep a lower volume but everywhere I heard the way he put in mass and size was from hitting a certain number of reps for the session and increasing that each time.

@Brandon Maloney thanks bro! I have been going to failure with that emom sets and only doing short rest times. I was just thinking since it worked so well for Daemon and it is all he talks about I figured it should work

Muscle mass
Doing homeworkout and calisthenics what should I do for pure muscle mass and size? I see that he is really big and he did home workout calisthenics only so how should I go about gaining size? Should I do EMOms or dropsets? I have been working out for a while and nothing really seems to work and I feel confused with muscle mass training even though I have been workout out for about a year

Workout plan
Can someone give me tips on what a push day should look like? Right now I’m doing the handstand push-up progressions and then after I am doing the 15-12-10-8-5 dropset with dips wearing a small weighted vest. Each week I am trying to add more reps. Is this good for push day or should I add more. Pull day is about the same but with front lever instead

@Robert Fenlon yeah same tbh. I am right now following Daemon right now 100 percent. His kinda recent videos about mass and strength training are so gold

Arm growth
Does anyone have really good tips on getting huge arms from just calisthenics. I have been hitting total rep goals each day trying to progress with the basics like 100 dips on push day and 70+ pull-ups on pull days. Do you guys recommend doing anything for arm specifically or just stick with the two basic exercises and they will eventually grow. I feel like my chest and back are going ahead of arms
