Gymnastics Conditioning

Still focused on getting a strict bar muscle up so before going on a hike today thought I would throw in some extra pullup work.

Accumulate 2 minutes of breaking as needed or after you lose balance…

  • Frog Stand

Then 5 rounds of

  • 3 x Chest to Bar Strict Pullups

Then 5 rounds of

  • 3 x Strict L-Sit Pullup plus 3 x Alternating Flutter Kicks (L+R=1 Rep)

For this, do an L-Sit Pullup, at the bottom of the rep do the flutter kicks, another pullup, etc.

Then EMOM for 5 minutes

  • 1 x Weighted Pullup @ 20kg

Results: Frog Stands – quite happy I was able to get in 4 x 20 seconds unbroken over the 2 minutes and had to only stop due to fatigue, not from losing balance. Chest to Bar Pullups – Was hitting the top half of my Pecs so not bad, focus on pulling elbows back at the top. Otherwise the rest was uneventful.
