How much protein is 600g of cottage cheese? (and holy crap that's like 1.3 lbs of cottage cheese man...)

I mean if your body isn't lactose intolerant or having any adverse reactions that's probably OK.

Ah, try to get about 70g more especially if you are aiming for gaining muscle.

1g/lbs or 2g/kg is a good target to aim for if you want to gain muscle mass

Great that you can eat all that cottage cheese. Luckily in Iceland we have a thing called skyr which is like 65g of protein with almost no carbs/fats for 500g

Keep eathing the cottage cheese but also don't hesitate in adding more meat.

I actually wikipedia'd skyr, and man, it actually sounds kinda good. lol. But yeah, gonna add more meat to my menu also, mainly chicken. Chicken is sooo good, man.

Ah, thanks. Does this apply just as much if I'm going for muscle endurance too?
Like, I do over 10 reps per exercise with about a minute rest in between each set.

Uh, do you need specific endurance for something?

Generally,it's better to train for strength/mass especially if you're just starting

I think Tine or some other Norwegian dairy producer marketed something similar to skyr. Shame that it cost a fortune though. Cant remember the exact name of it though...

No, not really. It's just that I've been really big before(muscle-wise) and it looks kinda silly considering I'm so short(5ft 7in). So I'm going for a more athletic look. Besides, I thought maybe endurance exercises would be a good supplement to bodyweight training(mainly planche, L sit, body lever etc.)?

Nah, gymnastics bodyweight training is based in strength... you'll get enough endurance anyway by training strength so its not needed

Oh, thanks. Is there any particular exercises you would recommend for a bodyweight training noob?

Potential gameplan for this summer:
So i figure if i start bulking at roughly ~4500-5000 calories day and 300-400g+ of protein and start taking creatine over the summer i'll be able to hit ~225 by the time school/rugby season starts again in september.
Monday through Friday i'll probably be working ~8 hours days either at a law firm or warehouse doing labor
MWF Oly/power lifting mix? Is oly lifting remotely good for putting on mass? Maybe lifting before or after rugby on tues/thurs also and get some sort of a split going...
Over the course of the summer probably about 6+ tournaments for rugby (7's rugby so not as brutal as regular)
Sounds difficult, mostly because with that schedule i actually lost like 10 pounds of fat last summer(not eating enough) but doable. I'll probably lose my abs but i'll be huuuge so no big deal. My main concern would be keeping up my speed during this processs but logically i feel if my core lifts go up by 2-3x as much as the weight i put on then i shouldn't be any slower?
Then by just going back to my normal diet in the fall i should probably drop down to a very solid 215-220 by the end of the year. And then i can run more kids over! :D

edit: LOL @ those numbers eshlow. at least i can do a few easy clean and jerks and break 1k points in like 10 minutes lol
