Zosyn Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hello,I've been incorporating the prereqs as a warm-up for my regular workouts for about 2 weeks now 3x a week. I'm able to do the plank, reverse plank, and arch hold for the full 60 seconds for 3 rounds but after the first round on the hollow/dead hang/PB support I've been breaking it up into 2x 30s.I tried the most basic tuck front lever and wasn't able to get my hips up at all, I can't get my legs up into a full L-sit on the PB but I can hold the tuck position for about 30 seconds. Should I just continue to work on the prereqs until I can do three full sets of 60s?I'd like to start doing more but was wondering where I might best spend my time. I was thinking about adding the tuck L on PB and frog stand doing something like 4x 15s and doing 3-5x3-5 alternating days between ring rows/ring push ups dips/pull up progressions. Also, adding some hand stands against the wall.I'd like to eventually move all of my workouts from the crossfit style stuff I've been doing to gymnastics. Is this enough volume? 4 times a week? I run 4-5 times a week with my dog trying to cut back on the BF which is surely an area I need to work on.Any wisdom or advice?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Well, try the tuck FL from inverted as a negative/eccentric. Set the rings low, jump from a squat, catch legs on straps then get into a ball. The rest of your programming sounds fine. Work on a tucked L to 60s. Maybe try to work in some bent leg (not at 90, more like 135 degrees) low L as well. However the lower back must not arch in the L even if it's low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Dano Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yes to the above, and to building to 3 x 60s holds in all the pre-reqs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
