Gymnast Physique

>What's the most efficient way of achieving this look?

1. be 5'4
2. do a beginner lifting routine for 2 years

It's good, has a good progression. Just like weights you need to eat at a surplus and rest for muscle. You could do both dips and pushups on the same day though, unless you're triceps need some building up first (or your ability to recover)

it's a fine routine to build a base level of strength if you're just getting into bodyweight.

as you get higher up on the progression charts maybe start getting some ideas of what your specific bodyweight goals are (e.g. planche, front lever, flags) and start structuring routines around achieving those. that overcoming gravity book that's been shilled around here does a great job walking you through the process. alternatively visit /r/bodyweightfitness or /r/overcominggravity (the book author is really active and will answer any questions he gets, but you'd do well to actually read the book).

/r/bodyweightfitness also has their own recommended routine which is pretty similar, so look into that if you find the startbodyweight one isn't quite doing it for you.

keep in mind of course you still need to have a proper diet and sleep etc, no matter your routine.

Are pull ups a substitute for bent over rows? And what if I want to curl at the end of my session, is curling after pull ups retarded?

r/startbodyweight/ is the sub for specific for it

There are a lot of ways to do pull ups that stress the lats. Doing curls after is not retarded, some advanced people do pullups (or rows) as a main, and curls as an accessory at higher reps.

For absolute beginners there is no reason to do (isolation) as you get all you need plus extra strength and hormonal benefits from compounds (pullups/rows)

There aren't exact one for one substitutions but if you can't do one then doing the other is great. Both are strong PULLS and good lat builders with biceps too.

thanks guys! For now my goals are just hypertrophy and strength gains.
Been doing the routine for about 3 weeks with good progress, can't do dips though so I just do pushups.
Didn't really put on much muscle since I have been cutting but I feel like I can start to bulk so hopefully the gains will follow.

Has there ever been a really hairy gymnast? Like dirty, fat Greek hairy?

It somewhat carries over. Handstand pushups are easier if you have a strong overhead press, and muscle ups are easier if you do weighted pullups.
