bodyweight exercises

Im needing some help with comeing up with some good bodyweight exercises. I have right at 6 months to prepair for a show, its not a bodybuilding show its a play, well sorta. Its very hard to describe because its a completely original production. Basicly it boils down to 90min of lifting your own bodyweight, lifting others, and being lifted.

Ive started adding pull ups/ chin ups and dips to my split, but i feel like i need to be doing more so if any of you have recomendations on good exercises i could work into my split it would help tons.

I think for just bodyweight calisthenics, you'll get the most benefit from holding for 10 seconds or so in each position per rep rather than just repping out to failure. Maybe add in some diamond pushups, handstand pushups, squats, wall sits, etc. Just try doing 10 reps of pushups holding for 10 seconds in the up position and then 10 seconds in the down position. You'll break a sweat quick.

Hell yeah, you'll break a sweat. Your arms will start to quiver after the 3rd or 4th rep. Doesn't seem very hard for the first couple, but it's tough. The baseball team at one of the universities I attended did something similar except they didn't pause at the bottom. One kid on the team did it for 9 minutes straight. That's ridiculous.
