Double Progression Strength Training is the the most prevalent modality for increasing strength.

People who train with gym machines or free weights usually progress in 2 ways:

1.) Number of Repetitions

2.) The Amount of Weight

After they hit a certain amount of repetition with a preset weight (say, 5 benchpress 200-lb repetitions), they increase the weight.

With Double Progression Calisthenics, it's very similar. We progress with:

1.) The Number of Repetitions

2.) The Difficulty of Exercise

The primary difference is that weight trainers often increase the weight they can lift in ideal positions. This represents good technique because, all else equal, they can lift more at the same strength level.

In Progressive Calisthenics, we seek the opposite to progress: to find angles and positions in which our body is weak and strengthen those.

To use an obvious example, one-arm pushups are harder than regular pushups.

We've changed the pushing mechanism to make it harder on ourselves.

Does that make sense?
