Bodyweight skill demonstration in outdoor training setting

Progression Trees

A branching map of bodyweight skill milestones. Progress is measured by movement capability, not external load. Each node represents a documented achievement checkpoint.

Foundation Nodes

Entry-level positions that establish joint stability and basic force production patterns.

Plank Hold

30-second static core alignment with neutral spine

Incline Push

Hands elevated push with full range of motion

Dead Hang

15-second passive bar hang with scapular engagement

Standard Push-Up

Horizontal push from ground with controlled tempo

Australian Pull

Horizontal pull at waist-height bar angle

Bodyweight Squat

Full-depth squat with heels grounded

Intermediate Branches

Movements requiring increased leverage, unilateral control, or extended time under tension.

Diamond Push-Up

Close-hand position increasing triceps load

Pull-Up

Full vertical pull with chin above bar

Pistol Squat Assist

Single-leg squat with counterbalance support

L-Sit Tuck

Compressed hip flexion hold on parallel bars

Intermediate bodyweight skill practice on outdoor equipment

Advanced Terminals

Elite bodyweight skills requiring compound strength, balance, and precise body positioning.

Muscle-Up

Transition from pull to dip above bar in single motion

Human Flag

Horizontal body hold on vertical pole

Handstand Hold

10-second freestanding inversion on ground

Non-Linear Development

Skill trees branch in multiple directions. Participants may advance faster in pulling than pushing, or prioritize locomotion over static holds.

Workshop instructors document achieved milestones during each session. This creates a personal progression map independent of traditional weight-based metrics.

Enroll in a structured program to receive guided progression through these skill nodes with instructor oversight.
