I'm 25 years old and about 3 years ago, I started to interest myself in parkour/acrobatics/etc. before that I was basically lazy and spent all day at the computer. Since then, I've gotten progressively more dedicated. I started with Yoga (4 years ago), then progressed to Gymnastics (2 years ago), and now for the last 6 months bodyweight strength training + gymnastics.
I'm 1,84m (6,03 feet tall) and weigh 75kg (165 pounds). I have nowhere near enough strength to perform most exercises in this site, but I have above average flexibility due to 2,5 years yoga training.
My training routine is basically the following:
Monday:
40min strength training + 20min streching
Tuesday
90min gymnastics workout
Wednesday
90min gymnastics workout
Thursday
40min strength training + 20min streching
Friday
90min gymnastics workout
Saturday
60min swimming (2 km distance)
Sunday
40min strength training + 20min streching
Strength training is basically abdominal exercises (L-sits (3x 20sec. holds) bycicle crunches (1000 reps) pushups (2x 50 reps) HS Wall run (2x 1min), pull ups (3x 10 reps), Handstand holds (3x 30sec) Dips (2x 20) Korean dips (2x 10).
Many various streching exercises in between.
Not every day I do all this series, I just pick random exercises and go about my routine unitil 60min. is up
My Gymnastics training is very complete, has some cardio (jump, runs) acrobatics (vaults, flips, etc) and some strength training (rings, parallets,etc), and also streches/flexibility training.
I adjusted my nutrition to what I've read is the optimal for performance.
Lots of lean meat, egg whites, green salads, spinach, nuts, etc. very little bread/pasta/rice/sugars.
I take mutivitamin, omega3, resveratrol and fiber supplaments.
After workout I take 50g of Isopure protein isolate.
3 meals a day. lots of water, 8.5h sleep.
My goals are modest. in 2 years I wanna achieve a straddle planche for 10+ seconds a V-sit for 10+ seconds, and also a 10sec. 1 arm handstand.
My worries are that I have some flaws in my training... I workout every day (but I've read in some places that you should rest some days to let the muscle rebuild) is there a problem in training every day?
Also I dunno if I'm taking enough supplaments. When I walk into a nutrition store there are SO MANY options and stuff, I think to myself "there must be SOMETHING here that gives me an edge".. and all I take is isopure after training. Should I be taking aminoacids or stuff like that?
A third worry is that I'm not performing the right exercises to fit my goals. I do a lot of bicycle crunches because I read on a website that it was scientifically proven to be the most effective exercises for abdominal muscles, but my friend said that If I wanna do V sits I better train a harder/more intense less repetition routine.
