From gymnastics he went on to breaking dancing, calisthenics, martial arts, circus training.

Take Aways

He programs skill work 30 minutes before 1-2 hours of calisthenics training

His split is push / pull while throwing in legs 1x-2x week in the gym

2 practice sessions a day helps you advance faster for skills if you are already an experienced athlete

Stop before your form falls off

Start with static first for 4-5 sets then move on to dynamic exercise variations. Ratio of 1 to 3.

Best way to learn multiple skills is by training them in divided phases

Learn 1-2 skills at a time, master them, then switch them to a maintenance phase where you just go into the movement 1-2x a week
