Jonny Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hey, this is my first post.Im 17 and new to gymnastics and while im quite active I havent done a serious weighted workout in months.I'd like to use this as a general fitness/strength program. However I'm very confused. I've read the forum for a few hours and learned some but I still need help. I do not have a pullup bar yet but I do have some very basic "half-rings".Today I went through the suggested warmup;60 sec plank60 reverse plank60 sec arch60 sec hollow60 sec support between chairs20 sec chinup dead hang ( all I could manage on my stairs before grip gave way)Most of these required about three sets each apart from the plank and support2x60 sec L-sit tucks (small increments of maybe 10 seconds)2x60 sec frogstand (20 second sections)3x20 sec back to wall handstand3 sets pseudo plache pressups1 set chinups to failure ie. 560 sec support on rings ( 10 second sets - hands shaking everywhere)my question is basically what does this look like as a program for four days a week for the few weeks so as my strength and skill base can grow to a point where I can use a scaled dow WOD? providing I get a bar and start working on some front and back lever progressions. Is there anything you would add or take away? Having done this I feel fine, maybe a liitle stiff, but I have seen many threads on injury through overtraining so I thought I would ask.Thanks for your time.>Jonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 More pullups, maybe some v-ups or leg lifts or skin the cats when you can do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 OK, so I've added a second set of chinups to this list and a set of 30 v-ups. I'll start working on leg raises and the german hang as soon as I get a bar. Thanks for the advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
