Really your motives are based in aesthetics, which i disagree with

Lucky for you, I can tell by your pullup numbers and your physical appearance that you lack a certain degree of strength.

The good news is that you likely have a decent strength to body weight since you are satisfied with your tricking, which means that you have decent technique and strength to flip and twist, if I understand you correctly.

The bad news is that you are probably weak on absolute terms (compared to others).

Have you done heavy lifting in the "core lifts" before?  These "core lifts" include the Squat, Overhead Press, Bench Press, Deadlift and Clean/Power Clean or Snatch.

I suggest you get started on a core lifting program.  The one that I would personally recommend is this:
www.startingstrength.com

This would be the way to go for several reasons:
1) It will make you stronger in EVERY domain (pulling, pushing, parkour, tricking, jumping, etc)
2) It will elicit the hormonal response that you need to increase muscle mass and reduce BF%.
3) You will gain more confidence since this progression is rather fast, and you will be stronger than you imagine in no time.

There are several threads on Starting Strength in this forum.....for your convenience...

You can also do a search for starting strength.


Buy the book. Look up videos on the form of the lifts mentioned there.  Hell, if you can, get a weightlifting coach to help you with form and just let him know you are doing a Starting Strength Linear Progression for Novices.  He may know what you're talking about - if not, you will know what that means after the book.  Get into it. You will see the results that you want to see.

you don't have to use purely weights; a combination of bodyweight exercises (pushups, pull ups, lunges, jumping squats, etc. etc.) and weight lifting usually result in better gains for sport than just one or the other. I know you're interested in looking, fit, fine, and fresh, but if you train to get stronger and eat clean, then you will look better.

As for equipment, you might want to consider do it yourself projects (slam balls, adjustable dumbbells, sandbags), or look at more affordable tools, such as a sledgehammer (i'm not sure about price) or an ab wheel; these things are as cheap as 5 dollars, and with proper form, can be very effective.

take a look at www.rosstraining.com; solid articles, do it yourself projects, and training ideas.

also, i don't think you'll want to jump right away into drinking a whole gallon of milk a day; more milk, sure. but maybe not quite so much.

what would you guys recommend then? that need to put on more weight or what?
anyone have links for homemade projects like these?



I will have a look at the book, but yea, gym may be a problem.



Well i'm starting to try and it clean, threw out all the sweets in my fridge and loaded it with tuna, meats like chicken, turkey, whole grain breads.etc

any more advice? i'm going to start jogging every morning, my cardio SUCKS, i die after a minute or so...

if you go all out, better start at 200; your chest feels like its going to explode..so have fun

And to elaborate...you should be going ALL OUT...as hard as you possibly can.

If you don't feel like puking, you're probably doing it wrong
