Sure, it's a decent alternative, though the programming leaves a bit to be desired in terms of strength and muscle mass gain

What exercises would you recommend adding to it?

Depends on your goals.

There's a lot of gymnastics type strength work.... for example see beastskills.com

I probably need to start doing body weight stuff. Anything that inproves overall strength/mass (flexibility...). Focusing on the back lol.

you can never go wrong with pull ups and inverted rows.

of course barbell related pulling exercises are excellent as well i.e. cleans and its variants, barbell rows, DLs and its variants etc.

altho with bodyweight work, especially gymnastics progressions, the goals might take longer to achieve but the benefits are like no other.

Fine with me. Just trying to get good feeling of what exercises I should be doing. My flexibility is terrible right now too, hopefully this'll help.

Depends on what you're aiming for.

If you're using them to work on your handstand, the way they do them is horrible. You want very good form/technique with straight body focusing on proper shoulder and hip alignment when you do them.

If you're doing them for conditioning then well I guess that's OK, but if you ever wanted to work handstands instiling poor form like that isn't going to do you any good when learning more about it later on

hmmm ok
what if you handstand pushups like that in the video but abit straighter against the wall?
would that still be beneficial? for strength/hypertrophy and handstand development.

thanks for that!
Back to school now and i was wondering if you would still make strength/hypertrophy gains while on working on pullups,dips,lateral raises/upright rows and L-sit training twice a week only?(so i only do those exercises twice a week each )assuming i get decent nutrition and food and rest. I also have basketball 2-3 times a week as well.

And how should i go about strecthing? i am assuming everyday for about 5-10mins a day? whats the point of pike stretches?
Thinking of FINALLY STARTING handstand and L-sit progressions for real.

Hi guys,

Ever since New Years (yes, i'm one of those people), i've picked up a new diet/exercise plan.
I've recorded EVERYTHING that i've eaten since January 1st on a log, so I can keep track of my diet. I've been working out 3 times a week with weights but no cardio.

I've made sure I've been pushing myself hard every workout, and have been eating really well (really high protein, lower fat, lower carb, 6 small meals a day). However, after a month and a half, I haven't seen too much in terms of results. I'm 18, 5'9", 160 lbs, and when I look in the mirror i look pretty much the same way i did at Christmas.

Does anyone know if there's anything else I can do/ if i'm doing anything wrong and i should fix it? Because it really feels like it, and I wouldn't want to jump to blaming bad genetics for it (although my parents do seem to be endomorphic)
Thanks!

Edit: I meant to post this in TL Fitness, sorry! but if anyone has any info, that would be great!

Get rid of upright rows, add overhead pressing or some variation of handstand pushups

And yes,, you can make gains off that

You will also want to add in legs work...

Stretching everyday is fine, usually 5-15 minutes depending on how many muscles you want to hit

ok thanks.
Leg work would be abit hard since i have basketball 2-3 times a week and it's quite intense. Can't imagine getting any progress with that :/

Throw in some squats before a bball session

If you hold your breath it may feel like your head is going to explode.

Try some pike elevated pushups first if that's too much
