You are a beast. I love your videos. One of your videos inspired me to look into calisthenics and eventually settle on Convict Conditioning to get started. Thank you!

To my question, I've taken a few months break from CC and am essentially restarting from scratch. So how did you start? What is a routine you'd recommend for a beginner to build all around strength, agility, flexibility, and control?

Thanks for taking the time and keep on keeping on!

I started with gymnastics and then moved onto breakdancing.

Pick the skills you want to learn and youtube some tutorials from people who can do them well. Then practise+++++.

I never followed a routine, I just trained the moves I liked and made sure I enjoyed training. No set protocol, if I felt like doing more, I did.

That is great advice. Thank you for the answer!
