To be honest I can't manage to do even a single pull ups
But I am able to do 15-20 push ups with perfect form ( as per my gym trainer)
Why is it so ?

I wish I could do advance skills but I can't even do planche , I could bench press 70 kg for 5 reps but I am not good at controlling my own body weight
I want to get the control of my own body by doing calisthenics
I used to like big body builders but now I prefer the lean athletic look

Could be different reasons, either u aren't utilizing the proper muscles (proper pull ups rely on ur back muscles) and/or u are, but they just are underdeveloped. Either way, negative or assisted pullups will help with that

Can u tell me by this stats
I could bench row 56-60 kg and do 15 reps of 35-40 kg lat pulldown (this might be low but I am only 17.5 years old)
Are my back muscles weak
I am 186 cm and 70 kg , I think my body weight is normal for my height
But it might be due to my weak forearms my wrist is very thin

Just remember to never over complicate and overthink shit just do basics (push ups, dips, pull ups, etc.) do your skills (tuck planche, tuck fl, hand stand push ups or just hand stand, etc.) eat well train hard with correct form and thats it also you can hop on gear something light like mk677 or anything really if you want

What amount of sets and rep range should I start with for push ups , crunches and bodyweight squats ? I am thinking to develop my tricep strength first as I can't do pull ups rn

Just close to failure exact number is irrelevant no one cares if it’s 13 or 16 or shit like that for sets don’t do more than 5 of one exercise for gym stuff it’s a must to watch Geoffrey Verity Schofield

Thanks for ur help bro
I have written all the recommended youtube channels name bro
Time to begin the journey
Also shall we need to include stretches for improving flexibility during calisthenics
Does increasing flexibility helps to gain control while performing skills ?

You should stretch lower body but I don’t do it you decide and it doesn’t improve control it’s the opposite the more flexible you are the less stable you are you can see this everywhere in nature it’s a reverse proportion

Btw can u clear my confusion
U can see a lot of people with shredded bodies maybe around 8-12% bf but there face doesn't look lean is it genetics
Is it possible that my face may not get defined even if I lean down
What factors could be behind it ?

A couple things keep in mind if you have a huge amount of muscle it pushes your veins and you look lean but you aren’t really model level also of course shit structure and genetics maybe sometimes water retention it’s a lot of factors

Because your genetics are crap
