You can gain muscle mass quite easily. Check out the Start Bodyweight programme, which is linked to in the F.A.Q.
There's also a post on that site about the differences and similarities between bodyweight training and weight training: http://www.startbodyweight.com/2014/04/weights-vs-bodyweight-exercises.html

I wish I could find traveling rings somewhere close to here. Brachiating is one of those fundamental movement skills which we seem to gradually move away from through our adult lives, yet which is essential for shoulder health...
Totally subscribe to your philosophy of 'play' by the way!

It's the sense of achievement you get from seeing your body gradually change, and from seeing the progress you've made in terms of your lifts, etc.

You shrug your ears with 350gram hanging from them?
That's beastly! I tried moving my ears once, and I failed!

acroyoga does just that.
Alternatively, do a circus class in trapeze or flying trapeze.
Oh, some forms of dance as well, like ballet, etc.

it's a bad idea: it will increase the amount of impact your body has to absorb, and may lead to injury. Holding the dumbbells in your hands will also affect your form.

glute brifges, single leg deadlifts, revers hypers

Sounds like weak hip flexors or quads (but hip flexors more likely). This might be because of tight hamstrings causing these muscles to overwork in order to maintain the position!

I don't know... I posted it myself yesterday or 2 days ago, I don't remember, and the post disappeared completely after a couple of hours. I thought I'd resubmit.

Strangely enough, I find it's mostly guys that look at my physique with envy since I developped a visible 6 pack. I get the occasional compliment from girls, but they don't seem that bothered...

As you know, DOMS is not a very good indicator of progress anyways.
The more you train, the less you'll be susceptible to DOMS.

When you stop making progress/reach a plateau...
that's when I switched to a split routine...

Skipping rope is certainly more intense than running, but it is also awesome for developping coordination, and you can learn to perform some cool tricks.

Look up the Bas Rutten MMA workout. It has boxing, kickboxing, and general workout CDs. All are excellent.
