I have two question concerning training.
1. I guess most gymnasts who are Level 6 or higher train at least 12 hours a week, almost everyday, 365 days a year.
Wouldn't breaks be beneficial? I know that all Elites train 6 days a week up to 6 hours a day and it is an exception when they get a day off. Why is that? Wouldn't a break for some days every few weeks be beneficial?
When I train for 2 months or so, then make break for a week (not due ti illness of course) I always get back stronger and sometimes I am suddenly able to do skills I have worked on.
2. Is it better in WAG to train more reps of easier strength exercises or less of harder ones?
Is it better to do 30 push-ups or 5 handstand push-ups? 50 V-Ups or 15 leg lifts?
Gymnasts often do hundreds of hollow rocks, V-Ups etc, but wouldn't it be better to focus on harder exercises? What counts when it comes to strength?
