F = m X a. That's why DE work gets you stronger, you may only have half of your max weight on the bar, but you're still putting full force behind it, which is still stressful for the CNS.
For the original poster, like the other guys said, it depends on your intensity level. Standard bodyweight exercises that you are competent at performing can be done in circuit fashion without too much fatigue on the CNS, just keep the intensity in check (i.e. don't go to failure on every exercise, limit the difficulty of the exercise, etc.). You can still get the heart rate up and break a sweat to get your metabolic effect though.

I think you misread what I wrote. I was basically saying what you said: those exercises I listed
would be taxing to the CNS... even though they are only bodyweight.
