“GYMNASTY”
August 31 – November 15, 2020
11 Weeks
Phase #1 – Aug 31 – Oct 4 (5 Weeks)
Deload Week – Oct 5 – 11
Phase #2 – Oct 12 – Nov 15 (5 Weeks)
Post-Cycle Deload – Nov 16 – Nov 22
In recent months, we’ve built a foundation.
We first addressed raw strength in the slow lifts.
We then took our efforts to barbell stamina.
Returning to the Three-Headed Monster… we now will address skills.
Gymnastic proficiency in our sport requires three components:
Gymnastic Technique
Strict Capacity
Kipping Capacity
On a stage that demands dozens of gymnastic movements, this proficiency can become a blurry goal. “Gymnasty” plans to address precisely that, structuring our training to approach each component intelligently. In each training week, we’ll address these focus areas with (3) dedicated training parts:
Strict Gymnastics – A dedicated running-clock effort tracking towards the development of technical proficiency. Think “Strict JT”.
Gymnastic Capacity – Volume-based, building our upper limit abilities. Think 30 Kipping Ring Muscle-Ups for Time.
“Fartlek” Intervals – Combining varying aerobic intensities to simulate a metabolic environment as we train a wide base of movements. Think bike intervals, combined with higher volume toes to bar.
The sum is truly greater than the parts, and we’re looking forward to seeing some PR’s on Week 11.

STIMULUS
DESCRIPTION
This beefy 2-round workout includes higher rep schemes while maintaining a nice mix of modalities (cardio, bodyweight, weightlifting) across the 4 stations
The name of the game today is staying focused as we chip away at these larger numbers
This conditioning piece is intended to be on the longer side
Your score today is the total time it takes to complete the 2 rounds
We expect the workout to take between 23-35 minutes to complete
WALLBALLS
Choose a weight that you are capable of completing for 50+ unbroken reps when fresh
Men throw to 10 feet
Women throw to 9 feet
KETTLEBELL SWINGS
Like the wallballs, this should also be a weight you could complete for 50+ unbroken reps when fresh
These are full swings, finishing with the arms perpendicular to the ground
BURPEE BOX JUMP OVERS
Burpee perpendicular to the box (no lateral burpees)
You can jump up or step up off the floor
Jump up to the box for “RX”
You do not have to stand to full extension on top of the box
SUB for Row
