Coach Sommer Foundation Two Pdf

My Gymnastic Bodies Review Previously I talked about, and how this lead my to following as my program. At the end of that post I promised a review of it, and so here it is. I also promised to talk about my nerdy system of tracking it, but this piece ran long so I’ll come back to that in a later post.

Has anyone used Coach Sommer's foundation or handstand series? Yup, both of them. What was your experience with it and did it help? I really like them and they still make up the majority of my workouts. You should be aware that unless you have excellent shoulder mobility you probably won't be doing handstands in H1 for quite some time.

The short version is this: I bought, since it seemed like the best place to start. It’s not great. I don’t recommend it. Still, I heard good things about, so I picked that up and gave it a try. Generally I’m very happy with it, but I’ve had some UI and tech woes with the website.

Shortly afterwards I discovered, which looks like a good alternative. Since I’d already started it, I decided to stick with Gymnastic Bodies.

I’ve been happy enough with it that I’ve also paid for the up the and programs. Lastly, I decided it was worth giving, their nutrition plan, a try. I’m happy with all three of these, although the quality of the teaching is not as good for handstand as it is for the others. My strength and flexibility are both increasing; gradually, but noticeably.

I’m following the schedule which Coach Sommers (more on him later) recommends, which looks like this: • Monday: Foundation: Core, and maybe a conditioning workout if I have time; • Tuesday: Middle Split Stretch; • Wednesday: Foundation: Lower body, and Front Split Stretch; • Thursday: Foundation: Upper body, and maybe a conditioning workout; • Friday: Thoracic Bridge Stretch, and Handstand. This usually works out to about an hour a day. That’s about the same as I was doing before for my barbell training, although that was only four days a week, not five. A big advantage (mostly) body weight workouts have over barbell training is actually pretty obvious in hindsight: You don’t need a barbell (or a rack). Previously, I used keep tabs on the times the squat rack tended to be available in the office gym, and organise my workouts around those. Obviously this was only even possible because the gym I work out in is close to my desk, and working time at my job is flexible (plus physical exercise is encouraged).

Now I just rock up at the best time for me. Most (but not all) of the time all I need is a mat and a place to put it.

Despite the fact that I now work out every weekday, progress is very slow and gradual. This is actually by design. Unlike the other exercise programs I’ve followed, GB puts a huge emphasis on increasing the strength of your tendons, joints, and other connective tissues. These regenerate at about a third the speed of your muscles, so take longer to strengthen and by extension: longer to heal. Injury prevention and sustainable growth are the names of the game here.

The upshot of this is that I now spend more time working on flexibility and mobility than I do strength. As well as the three 45 minute stretch sessions, each set of strength exercises is followed by a matched set of mobility exercises. On the one hand: this sucks, because I’m incredibly inflexible. On the other: this is a really good thing, because I’m incredibly inflexible. How Gymnastic Bodies Works In practice, everything I’m about to say applies to the Foundation program. Most, but not all of it applies to the other programs as well.

I’ll note the differences at the end. A GB program is made up of several skill progressions. For example, one of the Foundation program’s progressions is Front Lever or FL. A skill progression is made up of several exercises. Continuing the example, the first exercise for the FL progression is Bent Leg Hollow Body Hold, which is paired with Cat-Cow as its mobility exercise. For each exercise you get 9 steps, which increase in intensity.

So, your first training session for the Front Lever progression is 3 x 12 seconds. Each subsequent step increases the time or the number of sets. After you show mastery (i.e. Complete step 9 without issues) for an exercise you move on to the next. The core component of the prototypical GB workout is the follow along video, performed by the instructors from (GB master affiliate gym) in Denver, Colorado.

The expectation is that you match the instructors for technique, range of motion, and pace. You get one of these for each step of each exercise.

Coupled with this is one or more detailed technique videos, given by Wesley Tan from in West England. In the Foundation program you get two of these for each exercise: One for the strength component; and one for the mobility. After you finish a training session, you indicate how it went using one of the following options, which decides your next training session for that progression: • Very Easy. You’ll move forward to either step 3, 6 or 9, depending on your current step, or to the next exercise in the progression; • Easy.
