Re-distribution of body weight

Great strength can be built with our own bodyweight but a common aruement is that it is difficult to progress in a manner to overload our system to spur strength gains. I disagree with this as many people can take themselves through progressively difficult varitions to consistantly build strength. As an example today instead of standard push-ups or even push-ups with weight on the back, all I need an athlete to do is to elevate their feet. More resistance and no additional weight added. Training: Squat 5x5 Push-ups 4 x quality set Training: Deadlift 5x5 Weighted push-ups 4 x quality set Training: Squats 5x5 Power overs 3x12
