im a beginner with these exercises
im really wanting to learn the free handstand (possibly into a press) and elbow lever mostly, they catch my eye the most plus are more impressive in my oppinion i looked for tutorials and found one thats easy to understand but the question is would it work? id thought id ask the pro's, (the link to the tut. http://www.livestrong.com/article/17033 ... -push-ups/)

You could training all that stuff in one day. Also, handstands, l-sits, and elbow levers are beginner stuff, not advanced. One-arm chin is more intermediate. Nothing you are doing is advanced.
even free handstand?
what do you suggest for progression, i havent got a clue when it comes to this.
really need help.

If a handstand is elite, what's a handstand on rings? If an elbow lever is advanced, what is a planche pushups on rings? You must be using a different definition of "advanced."
The board is full of discussion on handstand development. Look at the subforum "handsand work." Elbow levers, I don't know, this isn't practiced much by the people on this board, to my knowledge. One arm chins, you've got negatives, having one hand lower than the others. Lot's of tutorials on the net about this stuff.
ive changed the title 
Elbow lever and handstand are mostly balancing/technique moves, if you are starting with a bit of a strength base. If your goal is both of those I would just practice them every day or every other day until you see a drop in performance then stop for the day.
Beast Skills offers good progressions for these:
Thanks for the advices. I am also a beginner, and I really need to seek a pro's advice. Thanks again.
