I've been progressing with something I kind of coined from a fitness article, known as the 2/4 rule. This essentially means practicing calisthenics progressions every 4 days, or 2 workouts. But the problem I'm running into is that increasing resistance that often is not effective for growth, and if you're doing things right your body should look like it's retaining most of the lean mass you gained the next day, instead of starting back from square one...
My solution is to apply a progression every 8 days, or 4 workouts. That might be more effective for muscle growth, and it gives me time to get stronger.
3x4 ineffective?
After questioning progressive overload but finding the right numbers, it's getting me to look into the 3x4 routine. But the issue with that is, there's virtually no information or advice on the 3x4 routine for calisthenics. I'm starting to think that maybe I should do 3x5, or 5x5.
If anyone reading would like to share a comment, I'm up for any advice or suggestions. I consult the pros online, but answers can be limited.
