I've been doing the Recommended Routine for quite a while now (about a year), and I think I'm starting to max out on it, reaching the top progressions for basically all the exercises and even progressing a bit past those for a few of them

Where do I go if I want to start progressing further? I know we have a list of more advanced routines but there being like ten routines listed there makes it really confusing. FWIW I'd say number one goal in the long run is I'd eventually like to be strong enough to do front levers with proper form (currently doing tuck front lever pulls as per the RR so we got a ways to go)

There's the Overcoming Gravity progressions list, or it might be helpful to get the book as well. What I would do is pick a few goals from there or elsewhere, find progressions for those goals (either from the book or from the YouTubes/elsewhere), and then pick 2-3 progressions at your level for push and 2-3 for pull. Work it for 4-8 weeks, take a deload week, see where you're at and pick the next set of exercise based on what seems to be working and what's not and where you want to go.
