    WEEK 51-52

    25 Sept

    Arnold Press – 2 x 10 x 6kg
    Weighted Pull ups – 2 x 6 x 10kg
    Pike Push up (feet elevated) – 3 x 6
    A1 Handstand practice – 15,18,16 secs
    A2 Reverse Table Top – 3 x 20 secs
    Dragon Flag Lowers – 4,3,3

    This will be the weights based session I do between the more technical days. I like the Arnold Press for deltoids, weighted pull ups are recommended a lot, and I’m coming back to learning to handstand. The dragon flag ab exercise was a miss and I’ll change that.

    28 Sept

    L-Sit to Tucked Sit to Tuck Planche Pulse – 4 x 3
    Advanced Tuck Planche – 5 x 6 secs

    Another discovery was an optimal set & rep scheme for isometrics based on your maximum hold. I’ll be following that instead of constantly going to failure like I used to.

    1 Oct

    Arnold Press – 3 x 12 x 6kg
    Weighted Pull ups – 3 x 6 x 15kg
    Pike Push up (feet elevated) – 10,9,8,7
    A1 Handstand practice – 3 x 30 secs
    A2 Reverse Table Top – 3 x 30 secs
    Hanging Toes to Bar – 4 x 6

    The first session was only a few sets to avoid a lot of doms, this time I upped the volume.
