Building the body for rings

sasquatch said:

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?

1.Yes

2.Maybe in the future, just maybe...

As far as cycle is going on and further on, I am more pleased. I didn't expect such big comeback to the big volume and muscle strength. Now I am actualy gaining strength and cleaning my holds

So following sentences were due to my massive training, biggest on volume as I ever have (talking about ring strength not free weights).

7x cross straight press to inverted cross

2. 3x kip to cross press to maltese

3. 4x kip to inverted cross

4. 4x azarian pike press to inverted (much much much better then ever before)

5. 4x back roll to maltese (better then usual, almost the best)

6. 3x back uprise to inverted corss

7. 2x victorian (second for recognition)

8. 3x HS planche maltese press to planche (coach asissted)

9. 1x HS straddle planche

His power level must be over 9000!!!!

So you actually held a victorian for a second? Thats awesome!

that would be 2 seconds minimum with a position good enough for recognition im guessing?

Yes two seconds, with good enough for recognition but stil very far away for routine. To much deduction and power output for now.

That's awesome, Gregor! You should get a video of it sometime.

I quckly finished my training today my grips snaped again...

I won't write again my training because it's very similar to previous trainings, just bench press was better today.

Bench press:

6x 70 kg

4x 80 kg

2x 90 kg

5x 95 kg

5x 95 kg

5x 95 kg

5x 95 kg

5x 95 kg

Very nice bench. Can you do the victorian for recognition about once every training now or does it only 'work' once in a while?

Not every training.

My goal for bench is 5x5 110kg somtime in next year.

I will have to change my training again

First change will be order of elements...

Maybe I want to much at short time. I am not satisfied with my strength elements form positions and tranzitions(although it's way better then it was) and of course strength could be better.

If I'll get two new videos from my coach's phone I'll post it here and improvements could be seen (bad habbits or slopyness to :oops: )

Just don't get too negative and remember that you are improving new vids sounds cool

Looking forward to the videos!

DEEEEEEEEAAAAAAYYYYYUUM, bboooooooooiiiiiiiiii! Your inverted cross work is amazing! To me, that's the craziest thing in the whole workout

hehe thanks

Still alot of things to do on it!do it straight press to inverted, some elbow bending...

I have one idea for training..If we will somehow find a space we'll put two ropes toghether (like left and right ring) for climbing in a front and back lever

Last few days a got sick...Now to low temperature. :cry:

O_O

Yea. That's something that is on a whole different level

front lever isn't too hard, but i never got around to trying back lever.
