Bodyweight Training for definition not size

[lilesy]

I'm working up with reps on all bodyweight exercises and squeezing more and more in each time but i was wondering if i kept building up i.e. 100 pushups and 50 wide grip pull ups, would i get very bulky becasue i would prefer to be defined but still lean so i can be agile and hav good speed?

I know that doing lots of repetitions normally doesnt result in size but isn't that with a small weight. If i'm lifting whole bodyweight especially with pullups thats a fair amount to lift and just thought that maybe it might cause me to become a bit bulky instead of lean.

and oh i've been doing these becasue i'm moving away from home soon and won't be able to afford a gym membership or any equipment so i would like to have a workout routine that i can maintain basically anywhere. I do lots of running and plyometrics for legs as well

any knowledgable replies would be greatly appreciated

well diets good and i hav more than enough protein. What i'm saying is that to be lifting your bodyweight especially pullups because its not spread out over your hands and feet, would that be lifting enough weight to put on bulk? especially when ur doing more and more reps each time would that increase muscle size to a point when ur not lean anymore and start getting a bit bulky?

I have seen a definition for "lifting heavy weights" defined as being able to complete 10 to twelve repetitions with perfect form. We have all read about the lower reps and more weight routine as well. To build mass you have to "lift heavy weights". So pullups should be treated just like any other exercise. At the beginning, if you could bench say 200 lbs and never increased the weight your muscles would begin to plateau. Eventually you would be doing 200 repetitions and not pushing yourself as hard. So high reps with low weight is for toning, but once you are strong enough your body weight is going to seem like a light weight as you increase your reps. If bulk is your goal i would hang weight from a weight belt until you had enough on to only do 8 to 10 reps. once you can do 10 to 12 reps for 3 sets, add more weight. This is just opinion, I am by no means an expert. Hope it helps at least a little.
