I get a lot of questions asking how to train for specific skills and sports.

While I love these discussions, I recommend beginners start with a full-body strength and conditioning program.

This seems to apply extra to calisthenics on social media, which makes it seem like everyone and their cat can do a one-finger planche.

I'd classify some of these (very impressive!) calisthenics feats as "skills" and put that in a slightly different category from things like, say, weighted dips and pull-ups. One expresses strength and the other trains it (with some crossover).

The upshot from this is to make sure your body is prepared for the skills you want to train before you dive into specific skills! For example, it doesn't make much sense to train for a planche before you're decent at regular push-ups. Or work on iron cross progressions before you can do pull-ups. You'll almost certainly make more progress building up your full-body conditioning first!

Incredible handstand work in the beginning by Sondre Berg - check him out! He has even crazier feats on his page. Top-tier athlete and super nice guy. https://www.youtube.com/c/sondreberg

(No, I didn't actually try the thing with the pool. Maybe some day. I'd like my props to stay props.)
