Natalie Daniels 0 Posted March 3 Hello, I need some help to create my weekly training schedule to improve strength. I have lack of strength compared to my good mobility (zero issues with that). My GOAL is to become the strongest I can and achieve a perfect handstand hold and variations. This has been my schedule since december 2020: M. Foundation lower body + core T. Foundation upper body + single bar shoulder mobility + stretch thoracic bridge W. Handstand + Stretch front split T. Foundation lower body + core F. Foundation upper body + weighted mobility + stretch thoracic bridge S. Handstand + knee series + stretch middle split S. rest How can I improve this schedule for my goal? Should I add more foundation strength trainings during the week? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Hi Natalie, depends on the years of experience in strength training specifically GST. This schedule is something that i held (or very similar) for 10 year....i got planche, levers, one arm chin-up, cross, reverse muscle-up, inverted cross, one arm handstand, straddle press to hs. what works best for you is something that you must experience with. or something that a personal coach can understand little by little.

Natalie Daniels 0 Posted March 3 I understand your point. GST is something new to me (started in December). I did swimming and martial arts when younger. So you are saying that training foundation strength upper+lower+core an extra day or two a week wouldn't help right? Obviously that would take time from the stretch training. I just need some experienced opinion (I am not a trainer) and then I will go with what feels best in my body. If keeping this exact routine will give me strength and it is only a matter of time, I will definitely stick to this one, I am patient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best solution is TRY if you progress perfectly....if you are too sore reduce...adjusting is what makes success in the training field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
