Richard Duelley Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Well, the book does a great job in describing the exercises and their progressions in great detail. If you get the DVD's you get a great video library of all of the movements as well (which is a great help). There is a programming section that dives into several different programming types like the Steady State Cycle for example. But is ultimately up to you on how you program your workouts and how much effort you put into learning how to train effectively. There is no way to blindly follow any program and get the desired results so you have to read lots of different things and, ultimately, just go out and try different systems until you find one that you enjoy and one that works for you.If you are interested in gymnastics condition or physical fitness in general then I think you will enjoy the book and have a lot of fun with its contents.

David Picó García Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 i dont want think hard to create my own routine Then follow the WOD, and with the book you can adapt to the same exercise proposed but at an easier or harder progression. All exercises in the book are from easier variation to the most difficult variation (ex. from standar pushups on floor to planche pushups ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashita Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Ok thanks serotonim ! i'm gonna to buy the book soon ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Ashita, I followed the GB WOD for some time after it came out to figure it out and see what it entailed for my own needs and the training needs of the boys I coach before really looking into creating a program of my own ( which I leaned towards after doing the GB WOD for some time 2-3 months ). Therefore, there is something to be said about doing the GB WOD before creating your own program since doing the GB WOD you will be introduced to the embedded WOD's, prehab, skill work, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairbob Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Follow the GB WOD on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday to the best of your abilities. Get the book so you know what each WOD movements are and just in case you need to scale down the progression in it's corresponding family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairbob Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yes, you can modify some of the GB wod's or look through past GB wod's if you do not have rings. The book is still excellent even if you do not have rings. In fact, most of the book can be performed without rings. A bar is pretty necessary though.

ASForum Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 i dont want think hard to create my own routine Then follow the WOD, and with the book you can adapt to the same exercise proposed but at an easier or harder progression. All exercises in the book are from easier variation to the most difficult variation (ex. from standar pushups on floor to planche pushups )I think I might start the same way I will be posting a detailed info about myself and my goals. Ashita, I followed the GB WOD for some time after it came out to figure it out and see what it entailed for my own needs and the training needs of the boys I coach before really looking into creating a program of my own ( which I leaned towards after doing the GB WOD for some time 2-3 months ). Therefore, there is something to be said about doing the GB WOD before creating your own program since doing the GB WOD you will be introduced to the embedded WOD's, prehab, skill work, etc.So are you saying that even for a STARTER / NEWBIE the GB WOD's are the best way to get a HANG OF "How To" Build your program? Follow the GB WOD on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday to the best of your abilities. Get the book so you know what each WOD movements are and just in case you need to scale down the progression in it's corresponding family.Got the book & the rings are coming soon. Yes, you can modify some of the GB wod's or look through past GB wod's if you do not have rings. The book is still excellent even if you do not have rings. In fact, most of the book can be performed without rings. A bar is pretty necessary though.When you say past WOD's how far would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I'm not saying they are the best way, they are just a good way as their are a few different types of WOD's on the GB WOD. Basically there is the embedded planche and levers. Another is the 3x5 Lower body workout couplet often being deck squats/SLS with glute ham for either strength or power. There are the HS cycles on rings or wall or Wall runs/Obstacle course and there are the power conditioning circuits. That's just off the top of my head. Past WOD's? I dunno, pretty far back I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
