Complete Performance

No. Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Elite are Calisthenics Reacts levels. No federation uses them and passing one doesn't qualify you for a competition. Where a guide quotes a competition rule, it names the organiser and the year; where a number is ours, it says so.

Anyone thirteen or older. Standards are split by sex where it's fair to split them, and by age wherever load is involved. No youth label needs an adult load, and every release, flip or loaded test for under-eighteens has a supervision gate.

A pull-up bar, parallel bars or a dip station, a floor, a phone to film with. Parallettes help. Power & Endurance from Intermediate up uses a dip belt; Elite uses a weighted vest. Freestyle releases need landing mats and, at first, a coach.

The one above the level you've already passed. Not sure? Start with Beginner: its entry test tells you within an hour. Each guide's entry test is the level below, so you'll find out quickly if you started too low.

Yes. The guide lays out the same plan for two to seven days a week, at one to three trainings a day (Main, Midday, GTG). Two days stretches the twelve weeks to sixteen; more days add practice and one short session for your weakest area, never a second copy of the week. You can lay it out free in the plan builder before you buy: ecosystemhq.uk/cr-plan.html.

That's the first chapter. Start here gives you eight steps in order, from the entry test (week zero) to your first session, and "If you get lost" points nine common problems to the page that solves them.

Every exercise in the plan has swaps that do the same job, with when to use each one: rows instead of pull-ups, parallettes instead of the floor, a pike hold instead of a wall. The test movement itself stays at least once a week.

Yes, from four days a week. One guide leads the week; the other takes the short session slot, its strength session one week and its power session the next. The plan builder lays it out if you pick both.

No. It teaches; it doesn't diagnose or treat. Every chapter where something can hurt you has a safety gate, and the body part has a pain rule for when to stop and see someone.

Every number comes from one standards file, versioned and dated. When results from real athletes say a number is wrong, we change it, list the change in the guide, and you get the new edition free.
