The muscle up is somewhere out there in my list of having someday but I think I’ve got enough on my plate with those. My goals are to develop the body control/controlled tension to allow me to perform the planche, front lever and unsupported handstands. I have had no gymnastic training and have nowhere nearby that does adult beginner gymnastics. Michael you beat me to it - I was about to make the same thread.


More advanced stuff would include rings HSPUs, the upper versions of planche progression, planche progression on rings, iron cross, and then the insane stuff like inverted cross, maltese, etc., lol. Secondly, there are the strength moves which you should incorporate in your workouts or the WOD which include things like muscle ups, long L-sit holds, HSPUs, basically any type of rings work and their progressions, back levers, planches, front levers, pistols, etc. More advanced stuff would probably include connecting some tumbling if you have access to a gym, doing moves on rings/pbars/hbar/pommels, etc.Ģ. Some examples of skills are handstands, press handstands, cartwheels/roundoffs, rolls, flips, etc. Learning these will help you garner more awareness about your body and help you progress to better techniques. SKILL moves are the ones you would do before workouts as they require a fair-small amount of strength and are mainly about technique. Obviously though I would say to go in the proper order of progressions.ġ. For example, I rarely do muscle ups ever anymore since I began training the iron cross, but I can still bust out 10+ in a row on rings relatively easily. Muscle ups while hard for the general populace are pretty much obselete once you start training front levers, iron crosses and other moves that tax your muscles more. Once you get something and find a better progression, the other one becomes obselete. There's not really any core exercises I feel like honestly.
