Coaching Points

Mondays have been defined in large part by repeated weeks of isometric holds and now eccentric repetitions in gymnastics. The NEGATIVES we are working this week and last are a great way to build great strength for those of you who don’t have great bodyweight gymnastics skills yet. LOADED negatives are a powerful strength builder and even if you have strong pull ups and handstand push ups, you still stand to gain a ton from doing these from time to time. Move under control and make sure you got the TEMPO dialed before going up in weight.

Have a great week!

Regards,
Coach Khang
