What one bodyweight skill do you think gives the most bang for the buck as far as overall benefits to work towards for the older, intermediate person, even if it takes a year or so with regressions, or you never achieve it. It should also be the gateway to other skills/mobility benefits. Here is my shortlist. I am going to choose one this summer to work on just a few min a day. What would you choose? Older men in particular. And suggestions for intermediate skills or regressions for these that are not well known also welcome. I took the SF bodyweight course. I have a copy of Convict Conditioning and flexible steel. I tend to neglect mobility work.
Current choices: L-sit or full backbridge,
Others I considered: unsupported handstand, muscleup, onearm pushup, pistol, spiderman crawl.
Could I work on more than one. Of course, but I always get best results with minimal goals that I cycle through over the year. I can't do one good rep for any of these yet. This is for the summer. Working on improving snatch right now. Finished a barbell program, so thinking more about mobility goals, and rebuilding a routine after lockdown than strength gains but would be interested to hear what others would choose.
