Are those the new style of Van's or something?

I should've put a pic up of me with my new Ariat work boots when I got them!

Ya they pretty tight! Only 60 bones. Have no idea what ariat is I don't buy boots.

Man I'm getting old! I remmeber when Vans were under $20! Of course that was over 25 years ago.

It's becoming a bit more time consuming to go to the gym, especially with no car. Is this a good workout for overall body strength: pushups (different types) , pullups/chinups, different ab workouts, and running a few miles here and there?

Farmers walk's...IMO are the best, I love Squats and Dealifts and I would advise to keep doing the pushups.

Curls,  I really enjoy doing those curls.
And those 12 ounce curls are just the thing to keep your blood thin and pumpin'

That's a great workout picture ( one arm curl).

I love pull/chin ups, they are the mainstay of my workout.

My gym has a lifestyle thingy and it has four main grips and I rotate around the grips. I normally do at least 100 a day. A couple of months ago I bought a dipping belt and started adding weight. I weight about 80kg and add now add 12 kg to the belt. Recenty though I've developed pain in both my elbows, chin ups are worse than pull ups. I quit the belt but I still have pretty severe pain.

I'm thinking of taking a supplement of some kind, any suggestions?

Pain is not a good sign (Obvious). Take a break, do something different that does not cause pain in the elbows.  Take an anti-inflamatory before going to bed. If it does not clear get it checked out.

As for supplements, I've said this on these board before and provoked debate. Supplements are not needed unless your body cannot produce or process a particular item. The only supplement I use is pharmaceutical grade fish oils. Eat right and save the money.

You may have stretched your ligaments particularly if you can't remember a particular "moment" that you started having pain.  Ligaments do not adapt to increased weights--you mentioned the weight belt--as quickly as muscle tissue and you have to move up in weight with this in mind.   If the pain is traceable to a "moment" you may have caused a small tear--that's much more serious and could require medical attention.
