So I've been looking around, and seeing some questions, "Do you replace regular push ups with those kinds of push ups after a while of doing them?" And, "Do you replace pull ups with your other kinds of workouts like that?" It goes on and on.
Generally speaking, we calisthenic kings get to a point in our thrones where we think that regular push ups are no longer necessary. I'll tell you right now, that's up to you.
Say all you can do at the moment is handstand push ups, you're working for planche push ups, but you notice that your shoulders are becoming far larger than your chest, and that's not something you want to happen.
So what are you going to do? Push ups. They will give you the structural balances that keep your body working normal up until you can do those exercises that you want. Afterwards though, it's up to you to drop the conventional exercises, but adding those with the more strenuous exercises that you can't do so much of yet, help a lot and keep you progressing faster and easier up until you are where you want to be. So really, it's your choice.
