@1haroldl It's quite a movement. The coordination of arm swing, breath, and speed, take the stress off the knees that most 'vertical' squats risk. I've only done them occasionally, but I've been doing Dand every day for some time. Maybe I'll take a month or so and just pile up reps of...

@pablob Being tall and heavy will make the first one a bigger hurdle. But not that much bigger. Look at the Recommended Routine, or Convict Conditioning, or Primal Blueprint, or any of dozens of other bodyweight progressions; you'll find multiple suggested progressions for getting to your first...
