Try half pull ups first? Can always figure out a progression plan that can help you get that first pull up.

Quite power what... can do 1 rep one arm push up. For me estimated to be able to do one arm push ups next year.
Long time to go Hopefully no silly injuries to delay my progress.

How much you engage your chest depends on how much you bend forward. As seen in the pictures, there is little room for me to bend forward, so I'm pretty much close to up-right. The problem with being too close to up-right is that it puts lots of stress on the shoulder joints should you go too low. To avoid placing too much stress on the joints (elbows as well), do it in a controlled manner and don't go too low (you'll feel it if you do).

Also, it's harder in a dip station because you have to grip the bars, so grip strength is involved.

Wow these are golden advice.

For me I do 1 leg assisted pull up. So imagine a pistol squat to pull up like motion.
I try to use as much upper body strength to pull up as possible, minimal assistance from that 1 leg.

When my chin is over the bar, I lift the leg up to a leg raise and negative down as slow as I can afford.

Part of the fun in calisthenics is that there is unlimited ways to scale your progressions.

im having problem with my shoulder during my workout routine. feel like my joint going to pop when doing side lateral using cable. when doing shoulder press, i cannot lower the weight too low. Feel pain in the joint.

Hoxy, thx for the tips on pull-ups. But screwed my back and brisk wlaking would be the only thing i'm able to do.

Regarding pranche (don't know what was that at first), looking at ur photo posted, only remind me of YOGA.Crane Post.

Haha.You can google it for sure.

The difference I see is that, for Yoga Crane Post, we spread our fingers as wide as possible, for better stability, then low crouch, try to put our legs on our armpit, and start to lift up the toes,hence leaving whole body weight on the arm. Definitely a difficult post.Can't conquer it.

Beginner will be deep toes, so only partial weight on the arms.

Intermediate will leaving only one of the front toes on ground, hence majority weight on the arms.

And beyond that, you see the complete CRANE post.

I guess what you want should be slightly vary.Since last time,I showed this to my friend who practiced break dance. He showed "frog stand" which has slight different on where the knees are placed.

Well as you've said there is no real name to it. Its just something I do once in a while

As for the L-sit, to me it is really tough. When I'm lucky enough to get into a full L-sit position, I can only hold it for roughly 3 seconds.
If I can't get into it then will be tucked legs or I lean back slightly but with straight legs. Also I cannot do it on the floor yet. Must use push up bar.

I refer to "Building the Gymnastic Body" book for L-sit.

Just included australian pull ups(or incline rows) into my GTG routine. I do them using false grip. It is an easy way to begin training false grip.
