SL/PE5

I'm just starting on SL/PE5. There are no follow along videos yet and I'm not sure what is counted as a rep.  Is mastery 10 to the left and 10 to the right or 5 left and 5 right?

Hi Bradley,

Great question! Mastery is 5x10 to the left and 5x10 to the right. This is what the @ symbol after the number of sets and reps means. You will find it on various exercises throughout the courses. Good luck!

I always thought the @ symbol meant "alternating" so 10r@ would be 5 on each side.  This is how I performed these.  

Better get back to retest .

I thought the same; I thought this was 10 reps total, 5 each side. Uh oh 

You sure about that Jeffrey?  Pretty sure I've seen other coaches say the opposite, that's it's 5 left/5 right.  10 left/10 right would be double the reps of the previous exercise.

In the technique videos Wesley says alternate for 10 reps: https://my.gymnasticbodies.com/sl-pe5/

@Jeffrey Bittner Thanks for the clarification.  I didn't realize the significance of the @ symbol. That will definitely help in the future.

@Adam KirbyI see what you mean about Wesley's explanation.  I'm not to mastery yet, so I'll work toward 10reps per side unless there is further clarification.  If it turns out that it's 5 per side, I'll be there much sooner.

I think it should be 5 reps per side according to what I've seen in the forum. https://www.gymnasticbodies.com/forum/topic/25382-slpe5-reps/

If in any doubt guys, do more work.

I just wanted to update this thread.   @Jeffrey Bittner is correct, mastery is 5x10 to the right and 5x10 to the left.  This may cause some people to have to revisit this exercise. 

In the technique and tips video, he specifically says "alternating for 10 reps"  

In the new follow along videos it's very clear now. 10 reps is 10 reps each side.

Remember when I realized this was 10 reps EACH side... I FINALLY made it today .  That was pretty brutal...  

Just to be 100% sure, the next one is only 5 per side right
