How much body mass will I lose by switching over from lifting to calisthenics?
My current routine is:

Push

Bench
Shoulder lat raises
Shoulder press
Tricep pushdown
Pushups

Pull

Deadlift
Pullups
Dumbbell rows
Hammer curls
Face pulls

Legs

Leg press
Leg extension
Leg curl
Leg raises

I would like to switch to an all-calisthenic routine. I will likely start with some variation of the Beast Mode plan:

My question is, how much muscle mass will I lose from this transition? I am currently not a "juicehead" (I am 6'4 and generally bench around 165lbs), but I definitely have gained mass in the year or so I have been lifting. Am I going to lose a significant amount of muscle mass?

If your workouts will be as intens as they are now, you won't lose any mass. It's even possible that you will gain more mass since this will be a new way of stimulating the muscle which your body isn't used to.

I started doing calisthenics myself about 3 years ago and I've gained a more solid body since then. Prior to calisthenics I did about 2,5 years of pure strength training. I have gained more muscle since doing calisthenics.
