Every single progression in a bodyweight movement will increase your strength. Even if you are starting with simple frog stands or planche holds, you will get stronger.
"As for their effectiveness, I've seen many gymnasts capable of planche push-ups do double bodyweight bench presses on their first attempts. Conversely, I've never seen a weightlifter capable of doing a double bodyweight bench press even come close to a planche push-up initially." Coach Sommers
