F1/2/3 and 4

Hi all

I was just wondering what the difference is between the 4 foundations?

Are you still constantly training the same skills in the 4, and if so , why the split?

thanks

i think you cannot buy F2-F4 if you haven't mastered F1!

You are not training skills, you will be PREPARING your body FOR the 7 skills, which means physically but also the coordination!

They are a continuation of the same seven tracks. They have been broken down into more financially and mentally manageable parts.

I bought them all at once, so I was just wondering what the difference was.

Wow if they are all a continuation of each other, what would be the timescale on finishing it if you took the whole twelve weeks to complete every progression? Just interested

Foundations F1...F4 is a wonderful journey, from a technical pov you will learn how to train with bodyweight. 

the twelve progression is a bit different as you finish the F2 that is a intermediate level. from here you can test the mastery of the new element and if you manage both the PE and IM mastery you can move on. So maybe planche could take 3 years while RC only 2. a lot depends on physical qualities.

Some progressions may take less than 12 weeks. Others may take even longer. Enjoy the ride, you're in for the long haul :).

Ultimately, it depends on the current overall physical condition of our body. If it takes you and your body longer than the estimated 5.5 years... it does not matter.

Thanks all. I am not bothered about it taking a long time. I would prefer to get there in one piece and with mastery rather than injured and only just being able to complete the skills.

I was just interested to know what the timescale was. I already trained calisthenics for a few years before starting this and was in ok shape apart from the tendonitis etc, so it would be awesome to finish it sooner. Having said that, to be a 43 year old doing straddle planche and manna etc would also be completely amazing.

The timescale in GST is years
