gymrob Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I was wondering how exactly do beginner/ intermediate and more advanced gymnasts train. By this I mean how much of an emphasis is on different types of training such as:Max strengthPlyometricsIsometric holsEnduranceRoutinesI know that this will most probably vary a lot, but would like a rough idea. Like how often each of these are trained each week.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbryk Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Well everyday we started off with a brief warm up jog, then stretched, after that would would do basic conditioning, push ups, dips, pull ups, handstand holds, handstand push ups, straddle pike press to handstand. We would then throw down some heavy core, hollow holds, v-ups, full extension sit ups, and more push ups. Then within routines we would usually switch off some people would do strength stuff along with the static moves like cross pullouts and such on the rings as the other group works routines with the coach. We did 2 events everyday, each 1 hour and 30 minutes long. Our coach wanted us to be able to at least finish 5 routines on each event, so really we would work strength along with Iso holds sometimes everyday, but we did not have the same event 2 days in a row.Hope that helps.
