Salutations, @Memento!
It is very nice to see this kind of thread here!
I've been doing, for about 7 months now, pull ups and chin ups with grip variations, and also push ups, diamond push ups, archer push ups, pseudo planche push ups, pike push ups, Australian pull ups, running ... In short, calisthenics training. The goal? Handstand press, planche...
However, despite training for 7 months, my progress seems to be very slow, as I can only do 8 clean pull ups in a row... since about 2 or 3 months. I try to do the mentioned exercises almost every day, once a day, but I alternate between running / abs / legs exercises and upper body exercises. A usual workout would look like:
Sunday: upper body
Monday: running / abs
Tuesday: upper body
Wednesday: upper body
Thursday: running / abs
Friday: upper body
Saturday: running / abs
Upper body usually consists of doing most pull ups I can (e.g. 5 regular + 5 wide + 5 side grip), most chin ups (e.g. 4 + 4 + 4), most push ups (e.g. 10 pseudo-planche, 10 pike, 10 diamond), then Australian pull ups, and so on until my strength is depleted. I also do stretching during active rest.
Running consists on running 5km in 25-30 mins, on elevated ground (ups and downs).
Abs consists on this:

I also try to eat healthy and get enough protein, so consuming mostly meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, yogurt, eggs, cheese... I have declared war on sugar 3 years ago, so even the chocolate I eat is >= 70% dark with little sugar. I eat bread sometimes but not regularly, same for pasta.
I feel stronger than before of course, with little fat on my body and sturdier in general. However, still very far from being able to do anything special.
Any advice for me to progress faster?
