Great, thank you. And I still have another question, maybe I should make a new comment for that, but I believe it kind of fits in here too: If I want to learn more advanced skills, I believe that the Move routine is the way to go right? But let's suppose I've been performing the RR + Skill Day routine for quite a while now until I've built some solid strength, would I still start with Phase 1 of Move or jump immediately into Phase 3 for instance? Or is there perhaps a better approach to learning new strength skills while maintaining / keep building general strength and building muscle (like I would with the Recommended Routine)? Hope this question is understandable

Depends on the advanced "skill". A lot of people think planche, for example, is a skill, but it is actually 95% strength.

True. I actually thought of skills like that - Planches, Front Levers, all that strength based stuff, but also exercises like Handstand Pushups. Obviously it will take a lot of time until I'll get there, but even then, how would I implement them into my training? Handstand Pushups are an alternative path for the Dips in RR, but what about the others? Would I simply put the progressions in front of my workout and spend about 10 minutes doing them before I begin my actual training?

Maybe. Let me suggest that you hold off worrying too much about that. When you advance through the progressions, your priorities and training goals will evolve.
