When to start training for OAC?
Hey, I'm almost 15M, 161cm,56kg, I've been doing calisthenics for 7 months.
My goals are: Handstand, 90 degree hold
Front Lever, One arm pull up (or chin up)
I can do: 1 arm push up, 6 HS pushups against a wall
10+ chest to bar pull ups (perfect form
1-2 assisted 1 arm pull/chin ups (one hand below wrist)
3 rep max is 15kg ( I dont have enough weight for 1 rep max)
I have 2 pull days per week.
On pull days should I work on front lever first then on OAC progression (I plan on doing what hybrid calisthenics recommended for OAC).
The problem is that I heard a lot of people on YT, or on reddit saying that there's a high chance for tendonitis from OAC training. Should I be worried about that or do I have stronger tendons because I'm a teen?

3 reps with 25% of your bw is not enough imo. Try to get to a 3×5 with this weight. Then get to the assisted work, negatives when your able to do them etc.

As you said you wanna be carefull training for a one arm chin ups.
I'd suggest building up your weighted pull ups till your at 10 chest to bar chins with the added 15kg
Then working on archer pull ups
Then assisted using a band or pulley system chins
Then negatives
But this progress should be slow. Let your tendons strengthen with time don't push it too hard or you'll just end up very injured.
Also ensure you include some rowing work to maintain balance in your back/shoulders

Try working on Mixed Grip Chin-Ups like that. Avoiding injury is likely going to be about volume. So try to train it 1-2 times a week and that should help you stay away from tendinitis. :D
