Entry into advanced calisthenics?

Hey guys, gym bro for 5 years and counting now having made some good progress. For context, I’m a 6’3, 86 kg, 22M benching 3 plates, squatting 3 plates and deadlifting 5 plates (those figures are in a ballpark).

I’ve also been a really big fan of weighted calisthenics, reaching a 3 plate weighted dip for 3-4 reps and a 2 plate weighted chin-up for 5-6 reps. I can comfortably do 20+ pull-ups, 30 or more dips and 60+ pushups with good form. The reason the numbers are in a ballpark is because I haven’t actually tested my full max yet, so could be more.

I want to know the best and optimal way to graduate into training high-barrier skill moves, from anything as beginner level as a handstand, or a muscle up, to much more advanced movements like front levers, L-sit to handstand, planche.

I see a lot of videos and guides online for movement progressions and stuff, but I never understand how to program it? Do I learn multiple at the same time? How do the days work?

I’m sorry, maybe it’s my bodybuilding and powerlifting brain but I really work the best when I have routines and programs and can track / feel progression. I’m ready to go all out in this and focus only on this, so I want to understand any sources or any methodology I can follow to help me out here.
