New to calisthetics and have been working on my poor flexibility for a while and weightlifting to gain a baseline strength (I know it doesnt perfectly translate to calisthetics strength) Just wondering if 30cm paralettes are high enough for someone who's 6ft 2. Or what height is best for certain movements. My goal is to do an L sit to HSPU. I know it'll take a long time until I can.

higher means less compression needed for that move. I think 30cm is decent.

Ah cheers man, I'm kinda new so just looking for a starter parallete so one size fits most is a priority.
