A Steadfast Season

Skill — Starter

6 weeks · 4 days a week · Skill

The philosophy

A foundational calisthenics and gymnastics program that builds the strength, control, and body awareness behind impressive skills. Four focused days per week progress your pulling, pushing, and straight-arm strength toward the pull-up, the dip, the handstand, and the lever. Each session pairs a strength-skill priority with supporting volume so you earn cleaner reps and longer holds week over week. Log every set as weight x reps (use added load or band assistance as your "weight") so the engine can track your progressions across the 6-week block.
