Hi all.
I've been here since couple of months but really started focusing on gymnastic only since 2 weeks. In my head, I was convinced that I still need weight training or else I would loose everything, from my "strength" to my lean muscle mass. I have a lower back pain due to an injury that is still here (injured myself 5 years ago). However, in the last 2 weeks (when I ditch the weight training altogether), my lower back is already a LOT better.
Only because of that, I already wanted to say thank you to the Coach and his writings and to all contributors to this forum.
I already made good progress. I did a lot of reading in the last 2 weeks and adapt my training program according to what I read. Because of the good progress already, I think my routine fit well for me but I was wondering if any of you would have ideas to make it better according to your knowledge. For your information, I'm 6'6" at 255 lbs right now @ 13% bodyfat. My goal would be to lower it to 8-10% in the next months, but it doesn't have anything to do with training really, mostly diet.
I'm working right now on Flat tuck front lever (15-20 sec max), frog stand (which I just started), L-Sit PB (7-10 sec).
My routine is M-W-S. 3 times a week to start sounded good to me. I rarely trained more than 3 times a week in my weight training routine so to start gymnastic, it didn't make sense to me to increase frequency at the start.
I do 3 FPS every day : FL, PL- L-sit.
On every workout day, I focus on a different FBE for pushing and pulling.
M: push up variation (right now on trx, will work progressively to feet elevated)
FL Row
W: Hand stand push up (started with many books, will decrease the number of book gradually until full ROM)
Pull-up variation
S : Curl variation
Dips variation
FBE are done mainly for 3-4 sets between 3-5 reps. I will keep the same exercises for at least 4-6 weeks according to the steady state training cycle.
I will wait for your inputs. Again, thank you to all. Glad to have found this place. Long term objective : human flag, full ROM handstand, full front lever
