Not sure how to consistently apply progressive overload with calisthenics? This video will answer it for you. I share 3 methods that I've used over the years. All three of them work but can lend different results in terms of developing skills, strength and muscle mass, so I explain the differences between all three too. Some of you might wonder why I chose not to include unilateral variations, such as one-arm push ups. It's because I personally view those as simply an exercise variation, not a form of progressive overload. Although a unilateral exercise does apply more resistance than the bilateral version, the unilateral method can only be used once, then you have to apply one of the 3 methods in this video to the unilateral exercise in order to be progressive with the resistance. I hope that makes sense. And I hope the video helps. But, most importantly... have fun training!
