hell guys, i´m 26years old, coming from a strength-training-based background (220kg DL, 170kg back-squat, 130kg bench press, 105kg push press, 100kg hang clean, 80kg OH-squat, 5 deep dips with 70kg added, all done@80kg bodyweight) and i would love to build some gymnastic skills with a full planche being one of my main all-time goals. i was always fascinated with gymnasts body control and strength but never dared to try a BWE-only routine. the time has come short-term goals:- a solid advanced tuck planche- a solid handstand mit-term goals:- a solid straddle planche- handstand press- front/back-lever long-term goals:- full planche- 3x BW DL- front/side-splits- one-arm chinups------------------------- the main-idea is to use integrated training as mentioned in building the gymnastic body, meaning after the static holds (done every workout) only a short rest-period of 30-60s will follow and afterwards ONE of the mentioned exercises will be done (alternating workout-to-workout to prevent boredom). warmup:wrist circles2 sets of wrist pushups (on knees)2 sets of finger pushups (on knees)4 sets of planche leans-------------------------back tuck lever static holds on a straight bar (6x6s)//- 6x3 explosive muscle-ups (no kip)- 6x6 strict perfect form pull ups tuck planche on paralletes (6x6s)//- 6x3 free headstand pushups- 6x6 trx-dips (do you think these would work well as a substitute for rings) front tuck lever static holds on a straight bar (6x6s)//- 6x3 natural GHR half- 6x6 pistols per leg l-sit static holds (1min holding-time)------------------------- i would like to do this routine 2-3 times/week (e.g. MO/WE/FR or Tu/TH) with one leg-only-day on saturday which will look like this: 5-8x3 hang power cleans/power cleans from blocks5x5 ramped deficit DL with chains5-8x3 ramped front-squats excessive stretching (i´m really stiff) for 30-40 min and skill-work for a solid handstand are done everyday. right now i can hold a solid handstand coming off a wall for ~15s but kickung up is still pretty hard for me because i can´t find the right kick. do you think this routine sounds reasonable? is it too much work? do you see any significant flaws? i´m planning to do a steady-state-progression with new weights/times/progression every 4 weeks if appropriate. thank you very much in advance for your input!
