I've been following this Forum for quite a Long time (i think about 1 and a half year ) now and finally have some questions myself.
Since the Log Feature has been somewhat disabled, I'm not really sure if i'm posting in the right Forum (?), furthermore i'm german, so please don't be too harsh on any grammatical mistakes ![]()
Since we have this out of the way, here are some Infos about me:
1) Training Gymnastics for about 2 years and being a competitve Swimmer for about ten years now.
2) 30sec Full Back Lever, Muscle up to Back Lever
3) 30sec Tuck Front Lever, 3sec Front Lever with one foot out
4) 2sec Iron Cross (but not consistent regarding the proper depth yet)
5) 20sec Tuck Planche, 5sec Bend Arm Planche
6) Weighted Muscle Up (6kg), 5sec Human Flag, 4sec One Arm Pull Up negative
7) 20sec Handstand, L-Sit press to Handstand on Rings, 30sec L-Sit
My Goal now, is to put on some more mass on my Back and Chest, but also strengthening my Shoulders, as those seem to be the Major factor for stalling my Progress.
(Somewhere on the Forum i read about doing straight arm work only once a week, in order to give the ligaments and Joints proper rest, which is why i try to use some bend arm work, similiar to the gymnastic movements e.g. Reverse Bench, Elevator Curl)
Questions: Is this a good cross between Bodybuilding and gymnastic strength (my "rest" days are actuially my gymnastic/Swimming Training days, i refer to them as active rest days)?
Is Static strength work, once a week, enough? Should i include variations on my "Bodybuilding" days?
Do you see some Problems or possible improvements?

P.S. I read the Foundation Series and also worked through the Progressions (and gave the presented Split a go), but all in all i want to try a push pull legs Routine a go, as ist seems to offer me the best Chance for recovery between the Strength days.
