I've recently started going to "adult classes" at a local gym. It's more of an open gym with coaches on hand if you want help with something. At the moment one of the coaches has wrote me up a program with the goal of improving my handstands and working towards handstand pushups.
I have a few questions for anyone/everyone:
What would be the best way to integrate my BtGB training with the strength and skill work that the coach has prescribed? At the moment the workout doesn't leave me completely beat and there are definitely areas that aren't being addressed.(WOD's?, my previous routine? killroy style?)
What would be the best way to utilise the opportunity of having coach attention? Is there anything technique wise that would greatly benefit from learning how to do perfectly or anything that i am unlikely to be able to learn by myself without someone watching or spotting?
FYI here is the current workout Monday and Thursday
warmup shoulder, wrist work etc.
Facing wall handstands for 5-10 minutes
2*15 planche bounces on swiss ball
5*tuck planche to failure
60 straight arm medicine ball throws on a thick mat
3*15 second reverse leg lift on a pommel horse (with widest possible straddle)
2*45 second hollow hold (not a struggle)
2*60 second arch hold (hard towards the end)
2*45 second horizontal handstand (i think i've heard it called reverse hollow)(I do this at a level where i'm comfortable at about 20cm from the ground)
2*15 dips on the p-bars
2*30 second pushup (15 sesond eccentric 15 second concentric)
I also do freestanding handstands throughout and practice rolling out etc.
I'm a bit unsure of the dips as i am going to failure on the second set and only getting 13. In addition to this i also do 5*5 pullups and 1 or 2 skin the cats on the high rings. I've also been playing around with swings on the PBs
Is there anything missing from this routine that absolutely needs adding? I've only been going for a week so i haven't noticed any changes in strength.
