American Parkour

I have been wanting to add some things like more handstand work, L-sit/straddle L/press to handstand(eventually would like a stalder press to HS) and possibly more deadlift work (maybe 2x?) to my routine and wonder if with my current routine they would be too much, and if not, where to add them?

Current Routine looks like this:

Monday:
Light handstand work
Squat 5x5
Pseudo Planche pushups on rings
Some kind of rowing variation(been throwing these around, trying to figure out what feels right)
Adv. tuck planche w/band
Flat tuck front lever
Full back levers
Deadlift 1x5

Wednesday:
handstand work
Sometimes light 3x5 squats if I feel like it
Ring dips
Inverted ring curls
Adv. tuck planche w/band
Flat tuck FL
Back levers

Friday:
Heavy Squats 1x5
HeSPU
Assisted OAC work
Adv. tuck planche w/band
Flat tuck FL
Back levers

Saturdays and Tuesdays are rest days, Thursdays and Sundays for Parkour skill stuff

Interesting.  I heard that if you feel the dips in your pecs at the sternum, you're using your chest too much.  Could I have heard wrong?

Best core and leg strength work would come from heavy lifting(i.e. heavy squatting and deadlifting like Steven said) and gymnastic strength work.  Also, I do believe that unstable balance work like slack lining does not translate to stable balance like walking on a rail.

I have been breaking blood vessels in my face around my eyes and mouth when doing straddle back levers on the rings.  They do not hurt, but they show up as tiny, dark red spots clustered around mostly my mouth after doing around 2-3 sets (5 second holds).  Wondering if this is bad; common or nothing to worry about; should I tone it down (go back down to Adv. tuck)?

Thanks
