Returning to gymnastics progressions

Monday 11/08/08

Workout

Ten - 100 meter sprints with 3 minutes rest between sprints. During the rest period, I worked on handstands and free standing handstand push-ups (HSPU's). This workout was done barefoot in the grass at UNF stadium. Sprints felt fast and handstands were strong and solid today.

Later in the evening I did supersets of:
Straight arm tuck planche holds: 10x6 seconds and
Tuck front lever pull-ups: 6x3.

I would hold a planche, rest for approx. 90 seconds, do a front lever pull-up, rest for 90 seconds and repeat the sequence. These, like the workout earlier felt extremely strong and I wasn't beat down after either today.
