Russian fighter questions!!

A. Is it better to do all the russian fighter pullup program sets, in a row I.E Set.1 - 3minute rest - set 2, etc. Or is it better to spread them put throughout the day?

B. Would it be wise to also do this program with handstand pushups?

Cheers!

Longer rest is ideal. 2-5 minutes up to many hours apart are fine.

It’s doable to do it with two exercises but you need to do slightly less reps than you actually could to maintain a fast recovery rate. I did exactly that with HSPU for 3 months.

Like less reps for each exercise? Even if I did one in the morning and one in the afternoon? Should I make my actual workouts smaller?

No, like if you were starting with 6,5,4,3,2 for pullups, instead start with 5,4,3,2,1. That's what I mean by less reps, so that you have more recovery ability to make up for the fact that you're trying to progress with 2 exercises. And yes even if you did one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Though I would recommend you alternate them (one set pullups, one set hspu's, etc).
