==== ### ====
* The body responds to high, system-wide tension by upregulating androgen receptor density in active muscle tissue.
* Compound, unstable bodyweight movements (like ring dips, handstand push-ups, levers, etc.) often create tension across multiple large muscle groups simultaneously.

===== - Movements that demand more motor control and intermuscular coordination also require greater central drive, leading to stronger systemic adaptation signals. =====

===== - Even with lower absolute loads than barbell lifts, calisthenics can achieve similar (or superior) mechanical tension per muscle fiber, due to active stabilization and full-body bracing. =====
* This means you may stimulate comparable or greater androgenic response for certain movements.
