I have my own home gym setup and I’ve created a “workspace” for it.
I’ve also added target skills to work towards. However, some of them appear as either “blocked” or “partially blocked”, and I only get a vague message “Edit your Coach settings to unblock the following exercises.” – it doesn’t say _WHAT_ needs to be changed.
Please, add some more information on this. Quite frustrating as it is.

Heya 👋
Yeah, we know it’s not the clearest to understand. If you let me know what skills are blocked at what stage I can try and help you out. Screenshots showing the blocked skills would also be helpful 👍

I figured out that the Assisted Pistol Squats require a pole (though, one could use a wall as well, so now I’m getting undesired exercises), and then for the Handstand Walk I have a “partially blocked” after the Shoulder Taps, but it doesn’t really specify what’s the blocker.

You’ll need to complete “Plank Switches” first. You should see these in a couple of your upcoming sessions.
