they die pretty quickly
to get you started make sure you have a solid strength foundation
at least 15-20 pullups (depending on when you hit plateau with bodyweight alone) and 15-25 dips at the minimum, if you struggle with this do them weighted until you crush it
after this you can start training whatever relevant skills you want from muscle ups to front lever and so on
since you are on the older side watch out for joint health, definitely warm up more, don't attempt skills you can't hold
if you have a calisthenics park nearby then you need zero equipment to start, if you want to purchase something, in order of importance
>resistance bands (if you can't do a pullup or a dip yet you can use them with negatives or to make the reps easier)
>rings, awesome piece of equipment you can use literally anywhere, you can start with ring pushups and ring rows if pullups and pushups are too hard for you
>weight plates/dipping belt/etc

>never seen a calisthenics general here before
there used to be threads like that before, calisthenics overall is just not that popular
I don't know about the US but in the EU you can find a calisthenics park pretty much at every corner making it more available
>what you're currently working on
ring hspu, tuck front lever rows, tuck planche pushups, one arm pullup (it's more like an archer pullup, I just rotate the ring out to make the dominating arm work more and then slow controlled oap negative)
I do two shorts workouts in a week, horizontal pull/push and vertical pull/push split
with progressions like this linear progress is pretty much impossible and recovery takes noticeably much more time, I can feel it in my arms for days for instance if I do any movement whatsoever, I don't know whether it's an indication of overtraining and I risk injuring myself or simply the progressions I'm doing are too taxing
on the other hand two short workouts (that can be condensed into one with a few reps for each move) is pretty easy to follow with consistency
>I do cardio? The rest days?
yeah
