To be honest, I tried doing an L-sit a few days ago and I basically failed miserably. Not sure if I'm doing it wrong or just pathetically weak :x

Thanks, that site is pretty cool ^^

Let's say for the sake of argument I could choose two core/abs exercises to do, would you suggest plank + learning->doing L-sit? Or should I include something that includes contraction/movement too? Is one type better than the other?

If you don't care about being able to get your legs to your face it's probably not too important to work on the compression stuff. Someone correct me if there's other benefits to it.

I think plank and L-sit progression would be great base to work on

Doing both is 'better' than doing either exclusively. Also depends a bit on how you do it and what specific goals you have, but by the sound of it you don't have specific goals. So either was is more convenient or what is more fun should be best.
Arguably HR intensity of swimming could be a problem. Especially if you swim breaststroke only. But I don't think high HR intensity is that important.

I think the compression is to build strength when workings towards manna

Afaik you can't turn fat into muscle alone by lifting heavy. Are you doing any cardio (30min-1hour a day) and eating proper? The exercises themselves sounds pretty solid - but if you not loosing fat and replacing it with musclemass it wont matter.

On the subject of chesttraining I'm looking for an exercise to work the inner sides of my chest - it feels and looks like the gap between them are increasing and I kinda want them to look less like cleavage if that makes sense?

Go on a diet to get rid of the flab, you will probably have to start estimating calories. Any of those exercises are ok for strengthening /hypertrophying the chest/delts, so long as you are being progressive.

If you can bench 300lb and have a six-pack, you won't have a flabby chest anymore

Quick question about harmstring streching. The very basic one, raise one leg on something, keep both straight and push upper body forward. I feel the stretch right under the knee, not in the harmstring. Guess I'm doing it wrong.
I'm double jointed so it might have something to do with it, but even bending my knee a little doesn't help
Any clue ?

Okay, it's been a while for me. So I was about 162 kg about a year ago and right now I managed through diet and few exercise to get to about 108 kg. I finished college and started to exercise routinely with no shitting around, I am very determined and committed. So my question is, I want to get to about 75 kg which is my healthy bmi range, should I just focus on pure cardio OR should I mix cardio and strength training. I have a bench press and bar device setup in my house so access is no problem. Also how long you guys think it will take to reach my goal weight, I find it harder and harder to go down now that most of the weight is gone and the belly fat is stubborn as hell.

Definitely strength. Not only will you build muscle to get a better body composition, you'll also lose fat faster.

162 to 108 is already pretty impressive. respect.

Yea, it's rare otherwise. The only two times I can think of in recent months were after runs. I'm thinking maybe I'm just not used to exerting myself yet and it throws some of my systems out of whack. As long as I'm not getting nauseous it isn't a big deal though.
