      Nice, those are very hard, I’ve been training for 4 months also and can do about 2 of them but don’t train them often. I just re-unlocked my wall handstand push up also (I got it 4 weeks ago then lost it for some reason) but got it back now.

      i just started two weeks ago and ive been taking my time getting a powerful and sustained support hold. when i first started i could do a few sloppy looking dips and hurt my shoulders, but i used to body building and dips were my favorite movement. they are completely different on this, so im going to keep training the support hold until i can hold it for a few minutes at atime. im 30.

      Well done! Feels great, huh? I'm 39 and took me about 2.5 months, though I was already doing loads of more advanced ring pushups. What path did you take?
      I never could do bar dips, but I went straight to rings. It was weeks of a band supported dips with some negatives twice a week. No pain.

    There's old ass mofos out there doing front levers and some even planche. Older age is a factor but dont let it be a factor, just keep getting better. Peak or not, calisthenic strength carries over to old age. If you can front lever, planche, handstand etc It stays with you forever.

    Almost 40 now, and I started training with calisthenics 6 months ago using Dr. Steven Low's Overcoming Gravity, TrainingPal and others as my guide. Couldn't do the l-sit, 0 dips, and 2 pull ups. Full body routine MWF, TTH handstand/stretching, and 6 months later. 15 second l-sit holds, 13 weighted dips and 10 pull up sets. I'm still a beginner and looking forward to learning. Everyone has the potential to reach their maximum. It all starts and continues with diet!

    I'm 32 and and probably slightly past my physical peak. It has forced to re-evaluate some things. I've been fit and strong for so long that it's become a part of my identity, but knowing it's going to get harder and harder to still improve as years keep passing by means that I no longer can have performance define my self-esteem. Good thing is that if you stay healthy and work hard and smart, a human body can stay fit for a loooong time. My grandpa is 85 and still works out, walks a ton daily, can climb and is mentally sharp.

    Is a bad example the gymnastics athletes age, because the routine they have to go through to compete at Olympics is incredibly hard and stressful. Many athletes compete just one time and they just run away. You know at 30-35 you're thinking more of making a family or pursuing a working career. Like they say in my country you just don't have the head anymore for that at a certain age.

    The reality is that most of people dedicate their entire life to their children, it's a common lifestyle (excuses).
    I started with 35yo and I got humanflag in 6 months, straddle planche in 1 year. I work 40hours per week as Softweare Engineer (office), after the work I take my boy and my girl to a cool place (playground, lake, mountain with my paralettes) and everybody have fun (they play, I train Cali). Training Calisthenics is compatible with having children. It's a question of mind, of course my potential probably was better when I was 25, but I think the difference is not so big for Calisthenics skills. Family life is a good excuse for most people, for me they are motivation ;)

    All he’s trying to say is that your calisthenics maximum potential deteriorates after 30 not your actual skill. E.g your maximum potential for calisthenics at 30 is being able to do a 10 sec iron cross. Doesn’t mean you can do it yet but as you get older the window of opportunity gets smaller maybe later in your life you do reach your potential but your only able to hold an iron cross for 3sec.
