September Gymnastics Programming
Hello guys,
After having worked on strength the last couple of months, this final phase gives you the opportunity to play around with some kipping variations of the Bar Muscle Up. You can also continue working towards the stricter version too if wanted.
In regards to learning the kipping muscle, it is worth a watch on the videos below, the explanations are short and clear but will help give you an idea of what you want to be thinking about. Everyones kipping MU will look different, there is no right or wrong but rather finding what works best for you or feels the easiest to try and learn. So for this reason we will go through some of the popular variations to try & drills etc.
Then we will follow up with some gymnastics strength conditioning, there is a variety of exercises bringing some of the old moves back, as well as plenty of alternatives to suit your current level. The format of the conditioning will be a EMOM, every week the rest reduces meaning more work within the min. I.e week 1: 20’s work/ 40’s rest, week 2: 30s work, 30’s rest, etc. See programming below!
