Hi!

Few questions:

- how much time does a foundation + handstand workout session last?

- after completing foundation, would one be able to perform a planche pushups, handstand pushups, a full row, and one arm pull up?

Thanks

F1 session can take about an hour, programming varies a lot in volume and sets.

F1 develops 7 elements:

Front lever.

Straddle planche.

Side lever.

Manna.

Hollow back press.

Rope climb.

Single leg squat.

H1 culminates in a 2 minute free handstand.

Planche push up - probably.

Handstand push up - yes.

Full row (think I know what that is) - yes.

One arm chin - maybe, from what I understand it takes some specific training, after the rope climb this should be relatively easy.

Thanks for the clear and fast answer :)

For the row, just to make sure we both thinking about the same mouvement, a full row for me is like a front lever pull. So you are in front lever position and you pull urself to the bar :)

Figured as much. I'd bet money with the rope climb progression this will be no problem.

Foundation is just the basic in Gymnastic Strength Training™. Afterwards comes ring training.

Planche push-ups, fl rows and OAC are not explicitly trained in Foundation, but given the difficulty of the work found at the end of Foundation I'd be surprised if you weren't capable of a few reps of each upon completing the course. If you were not, it would not take you long to develop such skills.
