When should you start practicing advanced gymnastics / calisthenics skills such as the Muscle up, handstand push up or one arm chin up?

In this video, I’m going to show you how to learn the most popular advanced gymnastics / calisthenics skills.

The top 6 on the list is the Muscle up, the Pistol squat, the HSPU, the press to handstand variations, the 90 degree push ups, the and the one arm chinup or pull-up.

In one of my earlier videos I talked about the static skills from the L-sit to the planche, in which order should you learn them and where you should practice them in your workout.

There is definitely a recommended order with those skills and you should have a dedicated block in your workouts to practice them, or you could just simply do dedicated sessions.

With the dynamic skills it’s a bit different, that’s why I wanted to make a separated video about them.

Since most of these skills are isotonic exercises, so the have a concentic and eccentric phase, we also call them bent-arm or dynamic exercises, I recommend to practice them as part of your strength block or dedicated strength training session.

Most of the skills in the previous video I mentioned are also referred as straight arm exercises, this is why I recommend to practice them at least in separated blocks to not mix exercises straight arm and bend arm, otherwise called static and dynamic exercises, because it’s a totally different stimulus to your nervous system and especially the tissues.

You can have a bent-arm skill part in your strength block, when you practice the desired skill and then you can do additional strength sets and reps of basics then supplementary exercises if you want before you stretch.

I hope that makes sense, and I’ll tell you specific examples for each exercises.
