Do you still train for gymnastics skill? If so, how do you integrate it with weightlifting?

No, I purely train for strength and size at the moment (and at least for the coming year).
But I still use bodyweight exercises (gymnastics exercises) as assistance exercises after main lifts.

Me too. Reasons behind are: not having a proper gym/coach, better conditioning of legs and easier load programming/perceiving. Nevertheless I think that introducing a short session of joint prep and statics at 50% of intensity in the morning of training days would be a viable way. My goal is to be like the beastskill guy. I will try in the summer, with hot mornings and a buzz haircut.

Sounds like a good goal.
Jim from beastskills is an awesome guy from what I hear and see.
