How do you build a strength program for gymnast in 2021 from scratch?

With overwhelming amount of information on the internet, on gymnasts lifting weights, or knowing how many days, reps, sets or even which exercises to do. It can be stressful for coaches to know where to start. So I enlisted the help of my good friends Dan Lonsdale and Nick Ruddock to combined our brains and literally build a strength program from scratch!

We discuss WHAT what we would do in 4-5 training sessions, the exercises, the set and reps.

WHEN to program light days or heavy days.

The IMPORTANCE of core work.

Dan illustrates the BEST way to increase strength using proper general conditioning and weight room stuff.

WHAT gymnastic specific floor lines, active flex and handstands/body alignment exercises to do.

Nick explains his Daily Dozen.

ALSO…

HOW to apply our program to those who train three days per week.

Check out the blog post which has FREE downloadable templates of our strength program, blank templates, along with some extra recourses myself, Dan and Nick put together to help build your own strength program. Watch on YouTube to see us sharing the screen, writing down the exact things that we would do along with videos of the exercises.

This information is so important, it’ll increase your athletes performance and reduce the risk of injury. This is the future of gymnastics moving forward, so the more people we can get on board the better healthier athletes we can have.
