Calisteniapp / Calisthenics requirements
Calisthenics requirements: your step-by-step plan.
The calisthenics requirements are routines that help you measure your progress and your current level, setting a goal to meet to exceed a certain level. The idea is that you prepare for each level for a while and when you think you can beat it, give it a try. They are routines that must be finished before a time limit, you must complete the marked repetitions of each exercise, but you do not have to do them all in a single series, but you can divide the repetitions as much as necessary. On the other hand, the order of the exercises must be respected.

Build your path.
Each phase prepares you for the next. Weeks are a guide: repeat a phase when you need more practice before moving on.
Week 1–4Solid calisthenic
What you will practise
In this phase, you will show that you are capable of performing the basic and characteristic calisthenics exercises with ease, including the Muscle up as an intermediate-advanced movement. The goal here is to build a very solid foundation of pulling, pushing, and legs, combining muscular endurance with power. Prone pull-ups, Dips, and Assisted handstand push-ups will demand scapular control and strength in the shoulders, chest, triceps, and back, while the Squat and its explosive variation will strengthen your legs and overall work capacity.
Week 5–8Advanced skills mastery
What you will practise
In this phase, you will show that you are capable of correctly performing advanced skills such as the Back lever, Frog to handstand, or the Pistol squat. The work stops focusing only on completing reps and begins to demand more body control, full-body tension, and coordination. Here you will train vertical pushing patterns, inverted stability, unilateral leg strength, and a very demanding isometric pull for the lats, shoulders, arms, and core.
Week 9–14Calisthenic excellence
What you will practise
In this phase, you will have to show that you can not only perform advanced exercises of all kinds, but also perform a large number of them in a short time. It is the most complete and demanding phase of the program, because it combines maximum relative strength, muscular endurance, isometric control, and technical mastery in high-level movements. The Front lever, Straddle planche, and L-sit to handstand represent an enormous demand on the core, shoulders, back, and the ability to transmit force with the whole body as one unit.

App reviews already published on our website. These are not specific to this program.
The best. I've been on the pro plan for two years and have achieved excellent results. Resistance, strength, skill, and aesthetics, I've obtained it all thanks to the guidance of this app on this beautiful calisthenics journey.
If the free option is already great, the pro option has to be amazing. I'm super happy. I'm a beginner, a very beginner, and really everything is simple, the exercises can be done anywhere without equipment, and it's helping me a lot.
