Gymnastics Workout Program

Some of the finest and fittest muscle building luminaries were originally top class gymnasts.

Power is especially important i.e., the ability to exert muscular force with speed. Endurance is another factor, plus dynamic flexibility. Balance, timing and coordination are also essential qualities, Olympic gymnasts emphasize sheer hard work is the key.

In season training with weights should never be more than twice a week. Obviously, emphasis and energy must be devoted to gymnastic training itself. So routines must be brief and basic.

This routine is for anyone, at any level, who’s involved in gymnastics and wants to get better, stronger and faster. As always, this routine can be used by anyone – you don’t have to be a gymnast to benefit from it.

Squats
Dips
Pulldowns or Chins
Rows
Abs

Notes: Train consistently and use whatever set and rep scheme you feel comfortable with. It could be one or two sets to failure, 5 x 5, singles, doubles, triples – anything you want, so long as you’re consistent and work hard. Add weight to the bar whenever possible and get lots of rest, eat good food and drink plenty of water.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.
