Coaching Points

Returning to the Monday design, we are starting to see a bit more complex and dynamic upper body gymnastics show up. I don’t want you to be intimidated by this. If you are finding that you are not able to keep up with the week to week progressions to new and harder variations of the movements, then it is OK to return to a previous week’s level in the progression and simply repeat with better form and more control.

For those of you who have great upper body control, then I challenge you to execute these gymnastics variations with perfection. Don’t just “get them done,” but instead do them with virtuosity.
Make the simple look perfect!

Wishing you a great week of training.
Regards,
Coach Khang
