How long does it take to do a human flag?

The human flag is sideways strength: the top arm pulls, the bottom arm pushes, and the body has to stay level. Most plans build the frame first, then tuck holds, then a straddle; overall a few months to the better part of a year.

You need a sturdy vertical pole or upright. Straight arms carry the load, so the plan keeps it to three skill sessions a week, with a re-test every two weeks.
