> Which is false, as you could always just do bodyweight exercises instead.
lol, why dumbbells have been used for so long if they are useless ?
bodyweights exercises are quite limited, only three of them can are usefull for athletic people, dips (triceps) and pull ups( back + biceps) and handstand press (this one is very hard, shoulders). Push ups are very limited in term weight, about 50kg bench press equivalent (which is nothing). Raw squat is the same , doing 100 reps is not the same as doing 10 reps with 80kg on the back.
If you really want to exercise your legs, chest, biceps you have to use weights.
But of course if you are not into gym but only into fitness, you can do anything bodyweight
