calisthenics progression (still vetting)

Every once in a while a fun idea comes across your brain. It's too good to ignore sonit gets put into immediate action.

Concept 
Prioritizing calisthenics via both weights and leverage progressions 

What it looks like
Shoot for a rep goal
Add weight when the rep goal is achieved 
Repeat until stale
Deload movement
Replace movement with a more difficult variation.

Example
Pushups 3x15, increase weight
+2.5lbs Pushups 3x12
+2.5lbs Pushups 3x15, increase weight
+5lbs Pushups 3x10
...weeks later
+25lbs Pushups 3x6, my shit hurts.
Pushups 3x5
Pushups 3x10, switch to new movement.
Archer Pushups 3x7
Archer Pushers 3x9
Etc
