Your Daily Action Log 🏃🏽‍➡️- [Sept. 22-28]
Training for any goal like strength, handstands, muscle-ups, and front levers takes consistency. And consistency is built one action at a time. That’s why we created this Action🏃🏽‍➡️ category — it’s your place to check in, keep yourself accountable, and share the small wins that stack into massive progress. It doesn’t matter if it’s big or small. - Did you hit your workout today? Post it here. - Did you practice 5 minutes of a skill like handstands? Drop it here. - Did you prep your meals, improve your sleep, or do your mobility routine? Put it here. Every rep counts. Every step forward matters. 👉 Here’s how to use this: 1. Post what you did today toward your fitness or skill goal. 2. Be specific if you want feedback (e.g., “3×10 pull-ups with scapula control,” “10-sec handstand hold”). 3. Encourage others — reply, like, and celebrate wins. (which gets you more points on the leaderboard) This isn’t just tracking… it’s community fuel. When you share your actions, you raise the bar for everyone else. 💬 What’s one action you’ve taken today toward your hybrid calisthenics goals? Post it below ⬇️

Did the "flexibility f1.0" and "strength a10.5" from the app.
The “Secretly Easy” Skill Almost Anyone Can Unlock
When people think of calisthenics skills, they usually picture the impossible ones — planches, levers, muscle-ups. But there’s one skill that looks advanced… and is surprisingly beginner-friendly: the elbow lever. Here’s why it’s different: - You don’t need extreme strength — your elbows act like shelves that support your body. - You don’t need crazy mobility — a solid plank and some balance is enough to start. - You don’t need months of training — most people can unlock it in weeks with focused practice. Here’s how to do it: 1. Place your hands on the floor just wider than shoulder-width, fingers pointing slightly out. 2. Bend your elbows and rest them into your core/hip crease — think of your arms as “shelves” for your body. 3. Shift your weight forward slowly, keeping your chest low and eyes looking slightly ahead (not down). 4. Engage your core, squeeze your legs together, and lift your feet off the floor. 5. Balance by adjusting your weight with tiny shifts forward and back — like a teeter-totter until you find the sweet spot. The elbow lever doesn’t need extreme strength or flexibility. It’s mostly about finding balance and trust in your body position. It’s also a great confidence booster. Nothing feels better than pulling off a move that looks advanced but is totally within reach. 💬 Question for you: Can you hold an elbow lever yet? Drop a comment if you’ve unlocked it — or if you’re going to try it today.

@Brandon Beauchesne-Hebert I'm not convinced it's such a "secretly easy" skill for women as it is for men. Body shape makes a big difference on this one.
Why You Fall the Second You Leave the Wall in Handstands
If you can hold a handstand against the wall but collapse the moment you go freestanding — you’re in the “bridge phase.” And here’s the mistake: most people only train back-to-wall handstands. That position usually forces a banana shape — hips too far out, shoulders closed, weight dumping into your lower back. Sure, it keeps you up, but it doesn’t teach real balance. The smarter path? Start chest-to-wall. ➡️ Chest-to-wall teaches you to stay stacked — wrists, shoulders, hips, and toes in one line. It builds the hollow body you’ll need off the wall. ➡️ Once that feels solid, then you can use back-to-wall as a safety tool. The goal isn’t to lean — it’s to practice kick-ups without fear of overbalancing. ➡️ Add wall pulls (peel one foot away, balance, return) to train micro-corrections. This helps train how to actually "fix" the handstand when you are falling. ➡️ Sprinkle in light kick-ups in open space. Under-kick on purpose so you learn the “entry point” of balance before chasing big holds. This is how gymnasts progress: use the wall for the right alignment, then reintroduce it later as a learning tool — never as a crutch. 👉 Want the full roadmap to the handstand? I am currently working on a full handstand masterclass. Comment your biggest struggle to guarantee it gets covered in this large training.

Current handstand level. Need to work on the micro-movements to maintain balance.
Beginner Breakthroughs – Simple Scales, Complexity Kills
When most people start calisthenics, they make two big mistakes: 1️⃣ They chase complex skills before building foundations. 2️⃣ They create massive 2–3 hour workouts that aren’t sustainable. Both lead to burnout and quitting. Here’s the truth: progress comes from simplicity and consistency. Every advanced skill — handstands, muscle-ups, levers — is built on simple scales. Hollow hold before front lever. Incline push-ups before planche. Ring rows before muscle-ups. Simple → repeatable → powerful. And the same goes for your workouts. One focused goal and 10–20 minutes of daily effort beats an “everything” program you can’t stick to. Even 1 minute a day builds more momentum than training 3 hours, 3 times, then stopping. That’s why in the Masterbook I mapped out realistic timelines for skills. So instead of trying something for a few days and giving up, you know what to expect — and you can celebrate the micro wins along the way. And when it comes to your workouts, you don’t need to design a 10-exercise marathon. Build around 2–3 key moves that drive your main goal. Keep it short, sharp, and consistent — that’s how beginners break through. ➡️ Comment “START” and I’ll send you the free Masterbook with timelines + beginner progressions. 💬 Question for you: Do you prefer shorter daily workouts or longer sessions a few times a week?

START I definitely prefer shorter daily sessions.
Free Coaching? Here’s the Deal…
I wanted to find a way where everyone wins. The truth is — the people who bring the most energy into this community raise the bar for everyone. They ask questions. They motivate others. They share their wins and struggles. And that ripple effect makes the whole group better. So here’s what I’m thinking: if you step up as a leader here — posting, commenting, encouraging, and helping others — then I should step up for you too. The community has a leaderboard. Every time you contribute (post, like, reply, or share), you earn points and move up. And every 30 days… the top contributor will earn 1 free month of coaching with me. Runner-ups won’t be left out either — I’ll have special prizes for you too. Simple idea: the more you give, the more you get. Now I’d love to hear from you… 👉 Does this kind of reward system excite you? Would you be motivated to jump in more if free coaching or prizes were on the line?
