This is not a generic drill list. It places you on the progression path and gives you the support exercises that matter for your current stage.

Target skill

Start with the skill you actually want, not a generic assessment.

Days per week

How often can you repeat focused practice without guessing?

Tuck support hold

How long can you hold a clean tuck support right now?

Leg extension

Compression

How strong is your active pike compression?

Hamstring range

How much straight-leg room do you have in pike?

Setup

What support setup are you using for L-sit work?

Your result includes your current stage, next progression, limiting qualities, support exercises, and a weekly practice structure.

FAQ

Skill path finder FAQs

These are the common questions people ask when they want help learning a specific calisthenics skill.

How is this different from a normal skill article?

A normal article usually lists drills for everyone. This tool places you on the progression path first, then gives you the support exercises that match your current stage and blockers.

Which skills does the tool cover right now?

Version one covers L-sit, handstand, planche, and pistol squat. The idea is to start with a tight set of skill paths and expand once the stage logic is solid.

Does the tool create a full long-term program?

Not by itself. It solves the skill-progression decision by showing your stage, next step, and weekly structure. Guppy handles the ongoing practice rhythm, timers, and progression tracking.
