August Gymnastics programming

Hello everyone,

So we go into Part.2 of strength building via the strict bar muscle up approach. This also means trying to jump a few levels for the regulars. The skill section at the start will be a combination of or either/ or of 2 exercises based on your current level & interest. We will run through the various progressions & regressions available.

The strength & accessory section will focus on developing the explosiveness and speed required for all variations of bar MU. In this phase we are working at lighter intensities, trying not to over fatigue ourselves at the end of each exercise. This allows us to work more towards technical efficiency with the movements. In combination with the bar MU will be a continuation of the strict handstand push up or kipping variations, once again based on what you would like to work towards.

Now…forearms have been a sticking point for many when it comes to keeping a strong false grip which can pose a problem. But fear not after some thinking, researching and not finding what i was looking for I made up a devil of a signature exercise to tackle this issue that will hit many of the little fellas that keeps our wrists strong. I had to call it ‘Barons reverse forearm curls’.

Looking forward to seeing how you all find this new phase!
