Gymnastics

3 x 70-80% Push-ups; Rest 2:30 between sets

70-80% of max reps set

When max reps set exceeds 50, add weight 2.5 lbs at a time. Use a weight that you could do approximately 50 max reps with. If wearing a weight vest, place hands on plates to compensate for decreased range of motion from weight vest. If you cannot do 10 consecutive push-ups:

White/Red/Green Level: Elevated Ring Push-ups. Have rings at a height that you can do between 8 and 15 reps.  Move rings to a lower angle once 16 or more reps can be completed at your current level.

2) Pull

3 x 70-80% Bar Muscle-ups; Rest 2:30 between sets

70-80% of Max Reps Set

When max reps set exceeds 20, complete strict bar muscle-ups instead of kipping.

If unable to complete 3 consecutive bar muscle-ups:

Blue/White Level: Jumping Bar Muscle-ups with bar 6 inches above your head. If you rest for more than 5 seconds, count that as a failed rep.

Red/Green Level: Ring Rows at a difficult angle. The Ring Row angle should allow you to complete 5-10 reps.  Move to next level once able to complete 4 or more consecutive Jumping Bar Muscle-ups. Complete 3×10 bar swings after ring rows.

3) Full/Core

3 x 70-80% Toes-to-bars; Rest 2:30 between sets

70-80% of Max Reps Set

When max reps set exceeds 30, add ankle weights 2.5 lbs at a time. Try to use a weight that you can complete 30 reps with.

If unable to do 8 consecutive toes-to-bar:

White Level: Feet Raises (feet should get above hip level at top of rep).  Once able to complete 15 consecutive, move to next level.

Red/Green Level: Knee Raises (feet should get above hip level at top of rep).  Once able to complete 15 consecutive, move to next level.
