As there have been a few threads about conditioning recently, I wondered if we do the right amount at our gym and what you do. I asked HC about why we do those exercises and numbers, I just wanted to talk about it but he reacted pretty angrily and said he knows what he does. I do think he does, I just wanted to talk about it.
However ... our girls L6-L8 train together, 6 days a week 3 1/2 hours at a time.
We have a warm-up of about 25 minutes with some running, jumping, basics, light conditioning and stretching. Then 35 minutes on each event.
We have very limited time in the gym as our gym is not very big, so we incorporate the strength in our routines.
While on bars they do:
5 Ropes in L - equals around 60ft in total
10 L to L Leg Lifts
10 Full Leg Lifts
10 Stalder Leg Lifts
While on Vault they do:
15 weighted squats
15 squat jumps with ankle weights
15 jumps op a block with ankle weights
While on beam they do:
Leg Kicks with weights
While on floor they do:
standing back tucks, back handsprings, back extension rolls
The last 25 minutes of practice are press handstands of all kinds. From a stand, from a sit, in pike. Usually 10 of each.
Then the last few minutes they stretch.
This is a plan given by the head coach and I actually have never thought about it too much. But now as I I was wondering if we miss something, because we never do push-ups or pull-ups or planche work or handstand holds?
I think our girls are in good shape, they look good and no one has problems with cast handstands or anything else.
Do you think we do enough? What do you do?
