Hey everyone,
Not sure if to post here or on coaches page.
I'm very much a beginner in mens gymnastics. I'd like to get better at pommel horse, I wonder if anyone has some good info on how to gradually progress. I'd like to learn the strength to do more skills, and do them more fluently. I am already working on strength training and muscle building in general.
I wanted to ask, does anyone have any tips or resources on how to gradually progress strength and technique needed for this? I think the PH specific strength may be the main issue for me.
In case it's useful to know, I can do on pommel horse.
- Suise simple mount (quite neat)
- 1/2 or at best 1/1 circle but its messy and not 1 fluid movement, I tend to hit my legs on the pommel horse in the movement.
- 1 legged scissor/circle
- at most 1 circle on mushroom, but it's a bit harder than for kids maybe, because I'm an adult woman so I'm adult sized and that thing is quite low to the ground.
It'd be really cool if I could one day do more fluid circles, a scissor, and maybe even a circle with 1/3rd travel one day but I understand that may be very ambitious.
