Gymnastics
1) Push
5 x 50-60% Handstand Push-ups; Rest 1:30 between sets
When max reps set exceeds 30, add a deficit 1” at a time with the goal of using a deficit that makes your max reps at that deficit 30 reps.

2) Pull

If max strict pull-up reps exceed 20, complete strict chest-to-bar pull-ups instead. When max strict chest-to-bar pull-ups exceed 20, add weight 2.5 pounds at a time, with the goal of working with a weight you could use for 20 max reps.
