I'm almost completely out of shape due to sitting on my ass at college, but I'll post my stats anyway. Pics will follow eventually.
All of them are done to the army standard.
Sit-ups: 40 in one minute
Pushups: 32 in one minute (horrible.)
2 mile run: 10:34
Pull-ups: Unsure, haven't done any in years.
As you can see, the only great thing in here is my run...which I've always been good at anyway.... I stretched, and hydrated before testing myself.
So I got this weird thing about my hypertrophy. Sometimes I look bigger and sometimes I look smaller. In this video for example (got gymnastic rings month ago, yeaaah!):

Please note, I am not trying to bulk up or anything.
Here another example. I look much bigger than I do in my video in this move:

Thanks, I do gymnastics. I specialize in strength, so basically rings. But I also do tumbling and high bar.

I'd like to be able to do planche push ups, human flag, all that bad ass shit that goes along side it, any tips where to start? I need to increase flexibility n' shit

Increasing flexibility will help you to get your planche and human flag. There are several ways to begin. I started practicing handstand and l-sits. If I were be you I'd look up a tutorial for both of them. You should also build your way to be able to do 20-30 pushups. This is how you begin. Get those things and we'll move on.
Please try rock climbing. You'd be good.

I don't know where I should start with rock climbing. We don't really have gyms that are specially made for rockclimbing in Holland. We do have one wall made for rock climbing. Tried climbing it without legs, got pretty far. But I need to have more finger strength and pull-up strength.
start doing, figure out the little details afterwards....

You'd be surprised at how critical legs are to successful rock climbing. I'd say it's an even split between upper body strength and leg strength. Actually, rock climbing is less-so about pure physical strength and more about endurance and proper technique. I'd place a larger emphasis on technique over anything else; it's incredibly important to set up on a wall properly. If you've got your feet in the wrong place or if you move into a wrong position, you aren't going anywhere except down.

But it's definitely a learn as you go thing. Just set up on a wall and start climbing. Eventually, you'll learn how to move around based on what feels right. It also helps if you have someone more experienced giving you pointers along the way. They'll give you the finer details that will seriously step up your climbing.

watch some youtube videos. From my experience people at the climbing gyms are super nice and will help you out too. If not make friends with them and then ask for input. Post climbing vids and I can try to help too if worst comes to worst.

Awhhh man, that looks really cool!
Back to the grind.
Wrist is killing me so I didn't bench anything above 225. Max is probably 250.
Squat also raped my wrist but I would guess I'm still able to do 405. Powerclean was at about 260.
TL:dr, i'm basically as strong as I was as a freshmen
I think i'm about to hit 6'9 soon, im about 300 or so im mostly muscle but, i need help toning my legs any good ideas?

You should get your wrist checked out if you think it's some kind of injury. I fucked my wrist up November last year and I'm still having problems with it. I'm really trying hard to get it fixed up now, a lot of wrist endurance training mostly atm
give me details please, badballer
With my injury? Basically I sprained my pinky finger playing basketball one day, the day after I was benching and sprained my wrist somehow on the side below the pinky finger. I basically couldn't pick up a spoon to eat cereal for about 2 weeks. I had it treated for a while and did some light and very careful lifting after about 2 months from being out of action and eventually my pinky was better but my wrist was still fucked up. Basically after a workout or just lifting anything at work my wrist would be inflamed. After about 6 months it was sort of alright, lifting with a wrist guard on didn't bother me but sometimes after moving shit around at work it would get some niggles.
My girlfriend is studying physiotherapy and told me it was strange I wasn't perscribed any endurance training for my wrist since that's what they're always supposed to do, which I'm annoyed at my physio for, so I saw someone else and now have some dumbbell exercises for.
4 sets of 30 reps of different wrist movements (each set is a different movement) and then
3 sets of 30 reps of bicep curls though starting with my palms facing behind me and as I raise the weight I twist my arm. I was only given this last exercise recently and I really wish I got it sooner.
Funny thing is my about a month ago my good wrist was having some problems when it comes to heavy loads but the endurance training really pays off. It's only been a couple of weeks now and already there are major improvements.
It shouldn't have taken a year to fix this issue I had and I'm annoyed that I wasn't given any exercises for it until recently.

Oh and a month after my injury I actually got glandular fever so I lost about 7 kilos in a week and basically was having a shit time.

True. It's been bothering me for about 6 weeks, but thats because it kept getting hit in football. I let it rest for a week and it's feeling better now. Did some grip holds (Hold two ten pound plates in your hand for like 30 seconds) and its feeling better now.
