@suegene 3x8 on skills with reps and 30s on static holds seems to be a common threshold which I also tend to follow. Sometimes I am impatient and skip ahead before I can do that much. :-)

@brack That's kipping - you may need to zoom in more :-)

@personalizedbook Now that I review the Overcoming Gravity charts I see that these leg exercises are not part of the difficulty level system. They were added to the chart later. I'll definitely consider changing their difficulty color in my chart.

@personalizedbook As far as I know all of the leg and ab skills I have here are beginner level skills.

@dawn16 My criteria for the chart is : "In progress" skills are the ones I am currently doing in my workouts. When I think it's time to move to the next item in the progression then it is "Completed". For some exercises that could mean 12 reps, but for others 12 reps could take me years so I...

@dawn16 "In progress" skills are the ones I am currently doing in my workouts. When I think it's time to move to the next item in the progression then it is "Completed". The Lever and Bridge progressions are new to me so that should be fun.

@pyoms That's exactly right. For each progression start at the top. As you master each skill you can start your workout lower and lower down the progression. Perhaps use higher skills as warm ups. If you want a balanced total body workout then do as many of the progressions as you can. Another...

@dawn16 Check back for the Excel and PDF versions. I'm adding links to videos that show the exercises.

@cramoisi I made some changes in version 2. Let me know if it is still unclear. That's the hardest kind of thing for me to catch.

@gaga I could try uploading the revised version to Google Sheets to see what happens once it's ready. I probably won't want to spend too much time trying to fix it if it has issues. We'll see.

@jazz555 I think it's the angle between your legs and the floor. L sit is 0 degrees. 45 degrees is starting to look like a V-sit. As you raise them higher the angle gets larger. 90 degrees is straight up. By the time you get all the way around to 180 you're doing a manna.

@beaud20 My thinking is that with bodyweight exercises if you're holding onto something above you it's a pulling exercise and if you're holding onto something below you it's a pushing exercise. Interestingly the muscle up starts as a pull and ends as a push. I have no idea if there is an...

@sydneyelise I think links can be added in Excel. That sounds like a good idea to try out.

@filledefleur I mentioned in another comment that maybe I should move everything from their level 5 row from beginner to intermediate and level 9 from intermediate to advanced. That would move the One Arm Pull Up to advanced.

@abby564 Maybe I should move everything from their level 5 row from beginner to intermediate and level 9 from intermediate to advanced. That would move the Muscle Up to intermediate.

@dawn16 Yeah, I've already started on version 2 and I'm moving some things from beginner to intermediate like Pistol Squat, Nordic Curl, Dragon Flag, and the more advanced Shrimp Squat skills.

@dawn16 I feel you pain. I kinda want to invent a level called Novice to go before Beginner to make myself feel more advanced.

@deborah123 Somehow I managed to mess up the links in version 3. Version 4 is a Google Sheet you can link to. I'll make future updates there so the link won't need to change.

@deborah123 Cool! I posted an updated version. You might want to link to the latest PDF version since it has clickable links. I'll let you know if I get it working in Google Sheets then you could link to that.

@bibbigo You can never have too many of these charts :-)
