Sorry about the ambiguity, I think i was just waking up when i wrote that comment :p By "bodyweight" i mean advanced gymnastic movements such as L-Sits, front levers, back levers, handstands, planches, ect. A really good book on this is "Overcoming Gravity". Essentially a manual on how to go about training bodyweight movements, mobility, and things related to gymnastic-esque training

I have never bought the book, but the online resources assosiated with Overcoming Gravity are wonderful. I replied to Foveaux below with my full routine, and you'll see I include some of the things you listed. Maybe I should add handstands. The way my pull-up bar is set up, I can't work back lever, there is a park nearby that has some cool stuff that I can UAE occasionally. Went there with a friend last week and managed a half-lay back lever. That stuff is a ton of fun, and it's nice to meet someone on here with a similar interest.

If you don't know, the author of OG is pretty active on /r/bodyweightfitness if you use reddit. I forget his user name, but his flair says it.
