r/CalisthenicsBeginners

Hello I am a 15 yr old female, 5'3 and around 130 pounds. I have no experience in calisthenics and im not really flexible yet i want to learn where to start to get more flexible and learn calisthenics like in between i kind of want to learn how to do the splits and a handstand that goes into gymnastics category but i also want to learn how to do those cool poses in calisthenics i dont know where to start so can you suggest me maybe a YouTube guide or even basic exercises to start with to gain flexibility and muscle would mean alot then again you know better so please suggest me something to start this journey. I hope this made sense and thank you so much in advance.

i have one of those clip-on pullup bars that you put on your doorframe and that’s basically my only choice but my feet touch the ground when i grab on (i dont have to jump up), and i’ve built the strength to pull up when my feet touch the floor buuuut when i go into a dead hang and try to pull up from there, i can’t get past an active hang. plus, my shoulders ache when i do this. i don’t know if this is a shoulder mobility thing or if i’m not strong enough yet. any help/tips?

my current routine is divided in 3 main parts

1. skill work(warm up before it ofc)
2. street lifting
3. bodybuilding hypertrophy work

i train 6 days a week with this exact program and alternate between push and pull for calisthenics part and push pull leg for bodybuilding part

for skills im training handstand and muscle up for now(can hold 3-5 sec of handstand and 2-3 reps of band assisted muscle ups)

for street lifting its mainly 3-4 sets of dips and pull ups

would like to know the flaws also should i add a day for endurance where i do basics (my pull up count is not increasing lately :( )
