Workout Plan
Im training calisthenics for a bit now and i have a workout plan i made, but im not very happy with it, after a month of training. Im not sure whats the best split for gains and what exercises to choose for that dream V-taper. Please give me some tips 🙏

If You have any questions, please ask! Also, some things might not be completely Correct, only been training Calis for 5 months, but i spent 2-3 months before researching stuff

@Maksym Matijczak As long as You struggle on the last reps, and the progressions are difficult enough, thats a pretty decent Push/Pull workout, remember to add legs:)
Pain in my palm
Idk why but I have started getting that palm pain whenever I do something that involves placing the palm on floor especially when training for handstands. The lower part of palm hurts a lot. Ig it is normal tho . Right?

Not Really sure about this one. If im Guessing correctly, You feel the Pain where your wrist moves, like top of forearm, bottom of palm area: Rest 1-2 weeks, do nothing.(Most Boring part) After that, do Light wrist/forearm exercises, especially flexion. Start Light, even If its feels Easy. Add more weight only every 2 weeks, max +2kg. You can try holding knee pushups at this point. Itll take a while. Since Most likely its a tendon. Worst case, a nerve (If it hurts when You flex your wrist). After 2-3 months, hold weird positions (works pretty well)
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.

Chan Woo Park is half right. Please dont stress the joint even more. I was worse than that, couldnt even do a normal pushup, now im able to do OAH without Pain (cant do it, but it doesnt Hurt me). Rest. 1-2 weeks, dont do anything, Maybe Something Light that doesnt Hurt You. Then start with wrist stretching/Strengthening. After a month or so, it should be Better, but still not healed completely. Start Easy, Tendons heal extremely slowly. So again, do what doesnt Hurt. (It shouldnt Hurt even a bit! Max You could feel it stretching). After (worst case) 4-5 months, it should be completely healed. But You can start doing what You used to do after 2-3 months. ( Easy way to get a strong wrist, do weird positions and hold it. So FL on vertical bars, pushups on vertical bars, pushups on the back of Your hand, etc..)
A sort of plateau
I've been working out full body for a few weeks now, and I've reached this sort of plateau where in push I'm not noticing much strength or muscle growth. I'm still a beginner. My workout for push is, pseudo-planche push-ups, archer push-ups, pike push-ups, dips, and push-ups till failure. I feel like my form is the problem but am not sure anymore.

Plateau in just a few weeks could mean fatigue build up. I recommend doing less exercises, max 4. And not to failure. Maybe the last 1-2 sets yeah. Also, take a deload week, or just rest completely for a week. Use weights and bands for your advantage If You have access to them!

Also, always do hardest exercises first. It depends, but i Guess pseudo, dips, Archer..
Push
Dips - 4/6 3x Pseudo Planch Push Ups - 6/8 3x Incline Push Ups - 10 3x Pike Push Ups - 8/10 3x Diamond Push Ups - 6/8 3x Body Dips - 12 3x Is it good? for 6 day split PPL

@Lucas Torres Yup. I only did pike pushups and dips 2-3 sets each for 2-8 reps, nothing more, for back pullups and Rows, once You get to 12-15 reps, add some weight to get stronger. Fundamentals first, then skills!
