What do you people think about the program?

Hi!

I'm not going to comment on the program, since I'm not really qualified to do so, but I have just one question: How is the program going to develop, as you get stronger? The program above is really just a workout, a snapshot in time, while a 'real' program shows you a progressive way to achieve your goals.

I thought I knew this in the past, but I didn't, so now I 'just' follow the Foundation series.

Your program as designed is reasonable. I would toss in some manna and handstand work to help keep your shoulders balanced and mobile. Ravn is correct about needing a plan for progression, though. If you just keep doing the same workout, you'll never get much better. 

 

The people who've gotten amazing results from Foundation have for the most part just done Foundation for strength work (many have done H1 concurrently, too). Adopting Foundation as your primary strength program would be a very good decision: you get programming designed by a world-class coach that makes sure you're strong from every angle and mobile in every joint. 

Thank you for critque.

Yes, i know i not going to do the same excersis all the the time. I will do this maximum 6-8 weeks. I following the progression throw the Gymnastic bodies book and Overcoming gravity

For example when im mastered the regular dips im going to do L sit on rings or Bulgarian dips. Same thing with other excercises.

Im going to throw in som HS work in FSP

But i feel all the people recomend foundation 1 and the HS1? Can i do both in the same workout?

This is my goals Short therm goal( some months) and long therm goal.

1. Master a free standing HS

2.5*5 muscl ups

3.Half F Lever

4.Half B Lever

6.Tuck planche

 

Long therm

1. HS press straddle

2. Front lever

3.B lever

4. Straddle planche

5.OAC/OAP

6. HSPU

Doing Ring routine 

 

Flexibility and mobility.

Aiming for the splits one day eventually

Bridge walk

 

Leg strength

Pistol squats variation 

Straight body GHR 

 

 

 

Is this too many goals ? Long therm is really long therm by the way

Those are perfectly reasonable goals. I would still definitely recommend F1/H1 given those. 

 

To answer your other question: yes, H1 and F1 can be combined into one workout. 

Ok people i just used all of my money to buy the Foundation series seeing forward to begin my road in some serious quality work and not waste time on my own programing 

I will make a video of progression and post it here when in the end of 2013. I see in the foundation 1 is some excersisi i could not do, but i can do the excersises in the end of the foundation 2. I will take a step back and lay a good foundation both for strenght and mobility I think i will progress very fast threw some progression. I read somewhere that foundation 1 is based for 18 months but i think i will progress to foundation 2 in som weeks or month is some excersises:)

Well, some of the exercises in F1 are a lot harder than the equivalents in F2, due to the high volume. HBP2 & 3, RC6, FL6 come to mind. Remember not to rush through the exercises just to get to the goals ASAP. Rather try to get all the possible benefits from the drills to eliminate all weakness.
