Your roadmap from beginner to advanced calisthenics. Ever wanted to learn a muscle-up, planche, or human flag but had no idea where to start? Skill Flow maps out every step of the journey on a visual, interactive skill tree — so you always know what to train next. How it works: Tap any skill to see what it is, what prerequisites you need, and where it leads. Pinch and pan across the full skill graph to explore progressions across pushups, pullups, dips, handstands, core, and back movements — from dead hangs all the way to the iron cross and maltese. Track your progress: Mark skills as achieved, set target skills you're working toward, and log personal bests — reps for dynamic moves, hold times for statics. Your profile keeps a clear snapshot of where you are and what's next. Train smarter: Not strong enough for a skill yet? Skill Flow tells you when negative training can help — work the eccentric portion of a movement to build the strength you need for the full version.
