Forearm pain
I weight 59kg, can dip 45kg (1RM). I can handstand 30+" and I can do 1/2 HSPU. To get stronger for HSPU and to prepare for planche I decided to do some tuck planche. Not much, just 4 set 3 times a week. I also did a brief finger tendon routine 3 times a week. Probably I shouldn't have jumped directly at tuck planche for 4" without bands, in 2 weeks I developed foreman pain. It is the classic one that I heared other people have had because of planche. But it got intense, yesterday I had to skip HSPU because of it. I obviously stopped planche and finger training, technically I should train HS and HSPU tomorrow but I'll see how painful it is. Even outside training if I apply pressure on the left forearm it creates a sharp pain. The right forearm is almost entirely fine tho.
Calisthenics Q&A (Ask me anything)
Hey boys, I'm an athlete of 5 years (Calisthenics Athlete of about 2), and I've achieved: - 50kg for 5 reps on weighted pullups (Weighting 67kg) - 67 Handstand Pushups in a workout - One arm Pullups - NoDip Muscleups (The highest level of the traditional muscle up) And lots more, but I won't brag too hard, just so you know I've achieved some stuff and you know I'm not a nobody. I've also coached and consulted quite a few people, so I don't ONLY have personal experience, but experience with other athletes also. With all that being said, ask me all your Calisthenics (or fitness since I was an athlete / bodybuilder first) down below, and I'll give you a nice reply to your questions :)

I read in the book overcoming gravity by steven low about tracking your volume by counting the reps per workout. If you want to work on hypertrophy do between 40 and 80 reps, 25-50 for strength and above 100 for endurance. How much do you agree with keeping this principle while training skills like the front lever, hspu or planche? Next week will be my first week training skills directly (specifically FL, HSPU and a bit of planche to prepare the tendons) and in my workout but I made the routine without following this volume principle. Also, if you suggest to follow it, do you suggest to go with the strength or hypertrophy rep range?
What do YOU think the most effective exercise to learn your FIRST pull up is?
A range of exercise selections, but which one worked best for you?

@Cheng Wee Ng I learned the pullup just with row, I think it's the best method
