Progression from Standard Push-Ups to One-Arm Push-Ups and Beyond [+Routines]
One of the key features of calisthenics, making it incredibly fun and appealing to those who value self-improvement, isthe ability to progress while learning new exercises and more challenging variations. For instance, someone who trains at the gym or practices sports like weightlifting or powerlifting might see months of progress reflected in adding a few kilograms to their favorite lift. In contrast, a calisthenics enthusiast might achieve something far more visual—like progressing from standard pull-ups to a muscle-up. This distinct characteristic of calisthenics is often a driving force behind why people become hooked on this beautiful discipline and are motivated to continue improving in every aspect.
