Building the body for rings

Awesome job, Gregor! do you mean you could only raise your arms infront of you up to eye level when you were young? That would be really bad flexibility!

Yes.

Great to see you in action Gregor, Fantastic strength! I would love to see more of your comps put up here.

Great work!

congratulations! Your continued improvement and dedication are an inspiration to us all.

I totally agree. It's great to have you on this forum

And good luck with your flexibilty work!

Gregor, your strength is awesome! You've got great work ethic and you're very dedicated to improving your weak points, and I think we're going to see you on that world cup podium one of these days. Congratulations on making the finals! I know getting 6th isn't what anyone wants, but dude... YOU are one of the TOP 10!!! That's amazing!

Thanks. My goal was finals, but when you are in finals you want even more. For know I just wan't bigger end score no matter the place. I'm not so dissapointed abouth 6th place, but with my execution, because I know I can do it much better!

I multiplied my handstands and shoulder flexibility by 2. At the begining of training and at the end.

Owerall quite good trainig, didn't want to do to much, because I wass a litlle ill this week.

Yo dude if you get keep getting sick you should definitely supplement with Vitamin D especially since you don't get a lot of sun in the winter from your area I believe.

Thanks, I've already increased my vitamin-mineral supplements.Maybe I should supplement vitamin D aslo. We have moderate days of sun. Bigger problem is, I'm from the morning till the night in the gym, to train myself or kids to earn some money for living.

At first I didn't see "Pully system" and my jaw was on the floor. How much does that cut down your weight?

I'm sure this will do you good, in my experience active flexibility is much better result and injury wise for shoulder flexibility

Amazing strength, can't wait till I do malteses.

This is just for upper body warm up for begining and then proceeding to assisted (spotted) variations for warm up, then for easier variations of strength, and at the end the real strength training.

It cuts down cca. 50% of weight.

I discovered I need plenty of exercises (from easier to havier) to get in my full working tempreture. This way is safer to.

Yes, you're right!

If you'll be patient, consistant and if you'll train smart, then you will. Just ask for advice when you'll be there :wink:

Me-skiny kid at 12 years of age when gymnasts are already a bit bulky :oops:

Everything is possible with good work ethic and time.

DAMN you were skinny! how old are you now?

In couple of days I will be 24.

I guess I won't compeete at Paris (A ranked) world cup next week. I'm ill (all night vomiting, rised temperature). We'll see how much strength will be lost and if it's worth to try to compeete at that state.
