Your first strict pull‑up.

Ten stages, each with a number you have to hit. Calistica holds you at one until you do.

Where would you start?

How long can you hang from a bar right now?

The mechanism

It tells you when you’re not ready.

Two sessions at the same stage, judged against the same written standard. One advances. One does not.

Hold

Best set 22 s

22 sstandard 30 s

1 of 3 sets reached the standard.

Advance

Best set 31 s

At standardstandard 30 s

3 of 3 sets reached the standard.

Example sessions at stage 2, dead hang. Any tracker logs both of these. Only this one decides.

The line

Dead hang to strict pull‑up, in ten stages.

Every standard is written before you start. The app never moves a number to make you feel better about a session.

The ten stages shipped in version one, and what each one asks for.

When you’re held

A hold arrives with the next four weeks.

Being held is the plan working, not the plan failing. The app shows the shortfall and what to do about it in the same breath.

Week 1

Five active hangs of 5 s

Week 2

Five active hangs of 8 s

Week 3

Five active hangs of 10 s

Week 4

Five active hangs of 12 s, then test 3 × 15 s

The plan shipped with stage 3, active hang. Three sessions a week, 90 s between sets.

What it will never do.

Advise on pain. If something hurts it says see a physio or your doctor, and stops there.
Advance you on feel. No stage moves because a set felt easy. Only the number counts.
Chase you. No streaks, no confetti, no badges, no leaderboard.

Calistica is a training log and a progression guide. It is not medical advice and it cannot see you. You train at your own risk.
