Right, but you'd have trouble getting to even Cat. III on this chart with bodyweight exercises. Cat. III is considered intermediate and basically somebody of average to decent strength. There's a whole other chart for powerlifters, and people that want to get as strong as possible. This chart is just for normal people.

I did not mean to derail, as I appreciate threads like these.
But of course if you practice bench press, you will get better at bench press... However transitioning from Calisthenics to a decent bench press would be quite easy.
I may be biased as a primarily Calisthenics guy, but I think being strong enough to do frontlevers, one arm pull ups, impossible dips, and full planches are as strong if not stronger than being able to cat V on that list.
