First, some quick background. I'm 24 years old, I swam competitively for 10 years, ran cross country in HS for 2 years, and have done triathlons for 6 years now. I used to be in pretty good shape (at least by my standards), but have been mostly inactive now for 6 - 12 months. I'd like to start the "Gymnastics Bodies" way of training as I start to get back into swimming, biking, and running. In particular, I'm hoping the strength gains will transfer over to my sprint swimming ability. I'm not going into this with any expectations, and also just want to achieve positions like the front lever, back lever, planche, L-sit, etc. for the inherent challenge. My plan is simple:
Work up to being able to hold the following static positions for 60 seconds, all consecutively, with minimal rest (~15 - 30 seconds in between each hold): L-sit, plank, reverse plank, handstand (against the wall), front lever, hanging L-shape, back lever, inverted hang, arch hold (superman), hollow hold. Those 10 exercises cover both the push and pull straight-arm component for the arms in 12 o'clock, 9, 6, and 3 o'clock positions (if viewing your body from the side). Then the additional 2 arch hold and hollow hold make 10 in total.
In order to do this, I will simply hold the positions for a total time of 60 seconds each, and taking rest when I need it. The positions I can't do correctly in it's final form are scaled back, ex:
L-sit -- I have my feet on the ground currently.
Handstand -- Either against the wall, or my partner holds my feet.
Front Lever -- My feet are supported by a chair-back and I try to take tension off of the chair.
Hanging L-shape -- Either tucked feet, one leg out, or feet supported by a chair and 5-second spurts of no chair support.
So, I will call 60 seconds of work in each of the 10 positions my "static work". In a given workout, the static work will be followed by rep-work in a single plane of motion and either push or pull. These will be evenly rotated. So the rotation might look like this:
Day 1 - static work followed by pushups
Day 2 - static work followed by rows
Day 3 - legs only
Day 4 - REST
Day 5 - static work followed by HS presses
Day 6 - static work followed by pullups
Day 7 - legs only
Day 8 - rest
Day 9 - static work followed by upright rows
Day 10 - static work followed by dips
Day 11 - legs only
Day 12 - REST
That would complete a full rotation. The only rep work that is skipped over is rep work in the reverse plank/back lever position because I'm not sure what rep work to include there. Every other plane of motion is covered in the rep work for both push and pull.
I do a general warmup as well which includes jump roping, jumping jacks, rotator cuff exercises, bodyweight squats, and pushups.
Additionally, I am working fingertip pushups and wrist pushups on a near daily basis.
Any suggestions?
