GYMNASTICS MOVEMENTS
Tight Arch
Switching our body from an arch position to a hollow position is what gives us power. If we have more tension in our arch swing, we’re going to be able to generate more power in both of these gymnastics movements today. In our arch swing, let’s focus on keeping the legs long, hips pushed forward, and chest open.
Movement Prep
20 Second Arch Hold on Ground
10 Second Arch Hold on Bar
10 Scap Pull-ups
10 Kip Swings
1-3 Strict Pull-ups
3 Chin Over Bar Pull-ups
3 Chest to Bar Pull-ups
1-3 Strict Toes to Bar
3 Knees to Chest
3 Toes to Bar
BARBELL MOVEMENTS
Tight Squat
Bracing our midline properly during these squatting movements will help us better support the barbell, maintain balance, and stay in a strong and stable position. Especially on the overhead squat, where balance is more challenging, bracing can be very important.
Movement Prep
5 Pausing Front Squats (3 Seconds in Bottom)
5 Push Press
5 Thrusters
5 Pausing Overhead Squats (3 Seconds in Bottom)
5 Overhead Squats
Build to Lighter Weight
Chest to Bar Movement Subs
• Reduce Reps
• Chin Over Bar Pull-ups
• Banded Chest to Bar Pull-ups
• Jumping Chest to Bar Pull-ups
• Ring Rows
Toes to Bar Movement Subs
• Reduce Reps
• Feet as High as Possible
• Knees to Elbow / Chest / Waist
• The barbell weight is ideally the same for both movements, unless your thruster and overhead squat capacity are drastically different
• If you finish the set of 9’s within these windows, you’ll move back to the large opening set
• Your score for each couplet is total number of reps completed
