Joshua Naterman Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm sorry to hear that, Gregor! Stay tough, don't let that eat away at your confidence. Your skills look better than almost any I have seen, you've got a great future ahead of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razz Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Yeah I know you dont want to just feel good that you actually did compete in a worlds event, you want to place good but still remember how impressive it is and i'm sure one day you will get your good position!

Gregor Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 I had one bad bad bad week of trainings, I was to weak, to stiff, no feeling at all. Todays trainng was way better then last weeks after the worlds.I guess I had to much of competition routines and competition focus trainings....Now it's time for training changes, to correct some things (especialy bent elbows at strength moves such as nakayama press to inverted iron cross).For now I think any upgrade to the routine would be bad idea (although I could add back uprise to inverted iron cross). So for until new year I'll have my old routine from 6,4 and somwhere in the next year from 6,6, maybe 6,7.I don't have any pictures from worlds, so I will add one from szombathely.

Joshua Naterman Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 hahahaha HOLY Crap. That'll do it all right! I always thought doing bicep curls from back lever would be awesome. I can do a few in tuck Or I could before my elbows started hurting. I still don't think I'm ready for BL training yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Naterman Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Yea, I'm going to start with the beginner tuck just to be safe for a while I have to remember to take a month or two with each position and not just jump back into straddle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregor Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Long time no post about my training.fom So in the July we changed two times to three times a week pure strength training due to my better regeneration now then it was one year before (Strange but I guess I do something right with food, rest, and other mombojumbo ). After worlds I felt on a little crisis. No strength, no feeling, nothing. Now we are back to rising strength because till end of this year I have only one competition (nationals in december).Today's training:Warming up:1.Stradle planche2.HS stradle planche HS stradle planche3.Pully system: 10x cross presses 10x inverted cross presses 8x back lever presses to planche 6x cross straight press to invertedStrength training:1.2x Back roll to maltese ("azarian maltese" F) nakayama pike press to inverted2.3x kip to cross press to maltese3.3x kip to inverted cross4.3x azarian pike press to inverted5.3x back roll to maltese6.3x back uprise to inverted7.2x victorian8.3x HS planche maltese press to planche (coach's asistance)9.2x HS inverted cross (no strength at all at that moment so I've just felt trough)Some playing with free weights...

Mats Trane Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hey GregorAfter showing my son pictures of you here, my son goes: hey that must be the guy that was in the summer training camp in Tirrenia, Italy summer of 2008. My son was there with 2 training buddies from Sweden and had a great week! Gymnstics is not a very big sport i Sweden and he was very impressed with the week and talked alot about shorts you bought from the market and wore alot. Also he talked about your press to cross while bicycling with your legs . Would that have been you? Would love to see a picure of those shorts!!

Gregor Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Yes it's me It was great at this camp, alot of new stuff to learn and of course alot of fun.I don't know were the shorts are.@slizzardman: I will probably squeeze 10-15% more when I'll be full in this cycle.

Joshua Naterman Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 How many times a week do you work that hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Now for 3 times per week.For me swings elements and dismounts are harder because they are not so fun as a strength training :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 That's actually pretty reasonable Tough training to be sure, you have excellent work capacity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Thanks! I had to built my work capacity, it wasn't always like that. And now I have instead of two times per week to three times per week and from less than a half of this 2 years ago capacity to this now. Slowely like worm trough maraton. I know I've done big advancment trough each year I know it could be done more and it should be more noticable than it is (if I measure dedication and hard sweat invested in).

Joshua Naterman Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Wow, pretty strong gregor! When you bench do you touch the bar to your chest or do you just go to 90 degrees, or if it's neither what is your range of motion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Power Lifting style (touching chest, wait for moment and straight press). With PL I can go to cca. 112 kg one rep on the end of training like that. I am not so good with more reps. My personal best with 5x5 is 100 kg.

Joshua Naterman Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Wow, 5x5 100kg at your size is fantastic! I don't currently pause at the bottom, I just touch my t-shirt but not my chest and reverse direction. More of a reactive strength element than explosive. I will start doing one set with the pause.

sasquatch Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Pausing before you press takes more strength, right? I know it's harder for me to get reps when I pause. Is the victorian one of your goals, Gregor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
