Gymnastics

Gymnastics: Skill Review (Checkmark)

For the last week of the Open, we’re adding this as a Coach’s Choice skill review. We’d like you to pick 1 or 2 gymnastics skills that you think your athletes most need/want to work on.

We are delaying the Handstand Pushup Strength Test to next week, to save strength for the final Open workout.

If you’re looking for ideas, here is a suggestion. (Note: at this time we are unaware of what 25.2 was, so we apologize if this skill was just done in last week’s Open):

Take 15 minutes to help athletes practice double-unders or crossover singles. We have crossover singles coming up in a workout soon and today would be a great day to practice.

Level 1: single-unders

Level 2: double-unders

Level 3: crossover singles

Level 4: crossover doubles

After a few minutes of coaching/practice, perform as an emom of :30 on and :30 off for 5 minutes. Pick a rep number target that you think is repeatable, or just practice for each 30 second block and don’t worry about counting.

Cooldown/Mobility

Mobility (No Measure)

3 minutes of easy cardio (this can be walk, a slow row, machine ride, etc.)

1 Minute Couch Stretch

4x 5 Quad Foam Rolling (each leg)

1 Minute Dorsiflexion Matrix

Note: the easy cardio portion should be done immediately post workout to help your body recover from the workout. The stretching can then be done together as a group, time permitting, or on your own as homework. Stretch videos are available in the athlete notes.
