The Importance of Systems in Calisthenics

In calisthenics, there are usually plenty of progressions and exercise variations to choose from. And many of them are effective for making progress. 

However, little to no progress is made for the athlete who jumps around from exercise to exercise without any plan or structure. 

To ensure that you progress, you must pick a few exercises, and devise a system around those movements. This system should include:
- how you will divide up training frequency and training volume (into sets x reps / rest times per individual session
- how you manage progressive overload
    - what are the criteria for moving on to a harder exercise?
    - when is it perhaps necessary to take a step back?
- how you manage fatigue 
    - how much rest and recovery do you have each week?
    - how much does this allow you to train per week?
    - also, when do you take deload weeks?)
- additionally, the system needs to be sustainable for you, so that you can maintain it for an extended period of time. This way, you will make continued progress.

➡️ The point is that most exercises will work if they are backed by a sustainable, complete system. But without a system, even the best exercises out there will give seemingly little results.
