Where should you start?

Of the 8 exercises on this list, the most accessible is "Bench Dips (Bent)" and the most demanding is "Straddle Planche Push-up". The library is ordered by real difficulty from 5 to 100, so the order they appear in is the order worth learning them in.

How to move up

The practical rule: change exercise when you can do three sets of the current variant with two reps left in the tank. Before that, add reps, slow the lowering or extend the range — do not skip a rung.
