Bar progressions, just like progressions on all the other events, should be presented in a convenient order in approximately in their order of difficulty.  The important part here is that the skills are taught in a logical order, which can and has been used to train Elite international athletes.  There are any number of valid reasons why the order of skills taught and learned could and should be varied.  Not every successful program is the same or has to be.

Use Other Equipment
 Bar progressions often benefit from skill progressions that are taught on other events, in particular, trampoline, floor and the tumble tramp bar.  While it may be ideal to include these each time in the progression at the listed place in the progression, that station may not be open or it may be inconvenient to use the equipment at that particular time for some other reason.

Review Prerequisites and Basic Progressions Before Moving On
Some certain skill progressions are used in the learning process for a variety of different specific skills. That particular progression may have been taught days, weeks, or even months ago. Even if the skill has been thoroughly learned previously, it will be wise to repeat the progression for clarity and the continuity of learning the new skill.

Some Skills Take More Than One Season or One Year to Learn
A particular progression may have been set up as a long range, multi-year optional gymnastics development training program.  If you are currently learning a particular skill, not the whole group of skills, you will be choosing to train only the skills that refer to that particular skill.  Or you may be using that skill in the current routine and want to use the specific progressions that go with that skill to improve the execution and consistency of performance of that skill.

Gymnasts Will Learn at Different Rates But Still Will Learn
It will not be uncommon to find that different gymnasts have different learning rates for each of these skills.  It may be very possible that for a variety of individual reasons, some gymnasts will learn or not learn the skills in the order listed.  Variance in strength, flexibility, experience, and psychological factors can all influence learning order.
