Xavier Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Ok guys, I got a new routine because the last one is not working for me and it doesn't follow the principles of steady state; which is why I will follow this next routine for 8 weeks before I start considering improvements and/or changes. Monday: Bulgarian Dips 3x5, Cross Dips 3x10secs, Bulgarian Pull-ups 3x5, L-sit 3x10secs, Wall Handstand 4x15secs.Tuesday: XR Support Position 3x10secs, Single Bar Dips over-grip 3x5, Bulgarian L Pull-ups 3x5, Back Level Advanced Tuck 3x10secs, Planche - Advanced Frog Stand 3x5secs.Wednesday: Pseudo Planche Pushups 3x3, Bulgarian Rows 3x8, Dips - Korean 3x3, L-sit 3x10secs, Wall Handstand 4x15secs.Thursday: Front Level Advanced Tuck 3x10secs, Crescent Pushups 3x3, Single Bar Dips under-grip 3x5, Chin-ups - inverted 3x3, Pushups - Wall Planche 3x5.Friday: Archer pushups 3x3 (each arm), Cross Dips 3x10secs, L-sit 3x10secs, Pull-ups - Mountain Climbers 3x3 (each side), Wall Handstand 4x15secs.I intend to follow this routine for the next 8-10 weeks. My old routine concentrated on one body-part a day, whereas this one involves a full body workout everyday and from my ''understanding" that's a better approach.For my legs I do jumping squats on Tuesdays and Saturdays, along with uphill sprints, and I also swim occasionally.I hope I can actually complete a single week without being dead tired. In case you're wondering what's my current level or experience in gymnastics; this is what my old routine consisted of: Monday: Bulgarian dips (3X5), Archer pushups (3X5 each arm), Pseudo planche pushups (3X5), Wall Maltese (60sec total), Wall headstand (2min total).Tuesday: One arm chinups 3X3 (5sec top and bottom hold each arm), L-sit Bulgarians pullups (30 total), Straight body raises (3X3), Bulgarian rows (3X10), Muscle ups 3X5 (kipping).Wednesday: Back level advanced tuck (1min total), Front level advanced tuck (1min total), Manna middle split horizontal hold "on the floor" (30 sec total)Thursday: Repeat Monday'sFriday: Repeat Tuesday's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Whealing Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'm no expert but five days of upper body work in a row seems like to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
