This is a question to anyone who has had experience in the Convict Conditioning book ( an exercise program based on calisthenics). The author says to start at step one one each of the Big Six and each week to add one rep to slowly build up your strength. Near the end in the "Smart Way" paragraph, he says it will approximately take you one month to move from Step One to Step Two and another month to Step Three and so on. My question here is if you're adding one rep per week on an exercise, you'd only have added a grand total of 4 reps in a month, which isn't even close to being able to progress to the next step.

Let's take Step One of the Push up Series for Example:

Beginner Standard: 1 set of 10 reps----- Intermediate Standard: 2 Sets of 25-------Progression Standard 3 sets of 50

As you can see, if you start on the beginner standard and add 1 rep a week, you've only added up to 1 set of 14 throughout the whole month and it'll take you well over 50 weeks just to get to step 2. So how are you supposed to move on to the Step Two within a month like he says in the "Smart Way"?

Also as a sidenote, I'm doing the "Good Behavior" routine
