Shia Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 First off, Hi guys! I just signed up - ex weightlifter turn gymnast fanatic! Im new to training and only have a pull up bar at my disposal and have tried to develop a routine to give me the best strength and balance with minimal equipment, basically I was wondering if you experienced people could critique it for me as I begin tomorrow! Monday:Handstand practisePush upsOne arm chin practisePull ups Wednesday:Handstand practiseTuck planche practisePistol squatsAbs Friday:Handsand practisePush upsFront lever practiseChin ups The basic idea is that I have plenty of time working on static positions each day (handstand, planche, lever) and supplement it with a few sets of exercises (push ups, chin ups, push ups) The main aim is to get stronger and more muscular with minimal equipment, the final result going for moves such as: Planche push upsPlanche to handstand to planche againFront lever/front lever pull upsChin upsHandstand push ups Any advice appreciated!!!

Shia Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 F1 I looked at that but I cant for the life of me afford it right now. I have just lost my job and am a full time student, so making ends meet is difficult enough right now! Thank you for the suggestion though, I will be sure to purchase when I have the money!

Jon Douglas Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 F1 Pretty much sums it up. I mean, we'll still give you advice, but that is totally the #1 investment you can make to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shia Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Define "abs" Do you mean L sit work?Sorry, yes. L sit work (I have to take it very easy as I have lower back issues which prevent me from holding my legs completely straight out infront of me, so it may take some time) Also ab rollers and some leg raises. What do you think about the routine overall? Thanks for the replies thus far btw guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boban Ilievski Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 You might want to give Killroy70's routine a try: https://www.gymnasticbodies.com/forum/topic/1532-killroy-70-beginner-template/ A lot of people were using it, before the F1 came along.
