@jellybug78 Really nice work. Appreciate the effort and can't wait to visit rev 2. Will try and have a proper look on something other than this tiny phone when I get a chance.

@jellybug78 Wow looks great! The intermediate section makes me cry a little at how difficult some of them are! Cant wait to see the finished chart, thanks for your hard work 
@jellybug78 Is there a resource that describes and illustrates each of the exercises mentioned?

@jellybug78 Cool idea, it's a good visual representation of various progressions.
Overall it would be interesting to have an update of the OG2 charts with some new moves that are often street workout goals, like impossible dips/bodyweight tricep extensions, hefesto/bodyweight bicep curls, dragon press, Victorian cross (there are also parallel bar and floor variations, not only rings), if the community was able to estimate their difficulty level and the best progressions.

@jellybug78 So how would one use this? Just start at the top of the chart and work my way down?

@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 option I'm considering is to pick a skill I really want to achieve then focus mostly on that. It could be motivating to have a "show off" goal.
With the second approach it might be healthier to pick two skills that balance each other out, like matching a horizontal pull skill with a horizontal push skill.

@jellybug78 That's amazing! Great job.
@jellybug78 Amazing! At what point do you consider that you have ‘achieved’ an exercise and get to level up? Really really nice work

@jellybug78 Do you have any specific criteria for this, eg. Can do 10 reps comfortably?

@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 might stop at 8 in order to try something new (pull ups for example). I suppose this is a question everyone must answer for themselves while doing these progressions.

@jellybug78 Great work! Any reason you don't have color-coding for the leg and ab progressions?

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

@jellybug78 Oh, dragon flags and shrimp squats are very difficult exercises so I would have put them in the Advanced or Elite category but maybe I am defining 'skill' wrong?

@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.
@jellybug78 Props to you and thanks for the resource.

@jellybug78 ...why tf is a one armed handstand only considered advanced, as opposed to elite?
