New UX coming soon!!

📝 What to train this week?

Yellow
Green
Blue
Purple
Brown
Hybrid distance / Linda’s mat distance kick-up + (freeze) + bail practice
FS static holds. If > 10s, attempt :
- leg shift
- shoulder mini elevator

observe silence or chaos the holds
FS static hold with incremental reshaping (stabilise 5 seconds after each increment)

Aim for straight elbow and centred weight on hands

FS forced chaos into silence (either after the kick-up, or after stabilising)
FS static and compressed tuck
straddle
3 each, 15 seconds in bottom position.
OAHS: stamina
C2W sock awareness or gradual ligthness into bail
C2W sock awareness, focus on straight elbow and centred weight on hands
B2W pike soft landing + finger-driven balance
B2W straight ↔ Tuck x 5
OAHS: technique
C2W Sock + modulating
B2W ditto
C2W Sock + modulating
B2W ditto
B2W Alignment driven take off into stack
B2W / FS straight head in, tuck head in
OAHS: technical stamina
C2W in corridor (or spotted) take off + falling tower and feel limits
FS shoulder blocker in pike with shoulders in C or C-
B2W max holds
C2W/B2W max hold with silence x 10s x 3
C2W planche take off 5s → Restack and hold 5s (V, or 🌶️I, or 🌶️🌶️ pike)

Can be done as round-trip (🥵)

5
C2W piked planche take off 5s → Restack and hold 5s
Can be done as round-trip (🥵)

5
FS bail regressions
C2W or B2W elbow elevator (trying to stick) x 5
B2W straight → pike with shoulder blocker
Frog compress → eccentrics + isometrics (🌶️ extend one leg for added load)

b2w take off, silence, create chaos and recover
flamingo kickup
timber planche recovery / cauterisation
 
→ falling towers
→ elevators
For next call:
→ hard vs soft finger pushing
→ OS soft bail FS regressions

finger pushing patterns: feathering the brakes and modulating
I shape (b2w and Fs) for heel -dominant hold
V shape still has the priority

V + half W 5 second hold C2W
V → half W C2W off wall


  • Silent hold practice → long holds with tense, quiet legs.
  • Organic leg movement practice → allow natural wiggling and micro-adjustments in freestanding holds.
  • Deliberate hip corrections at wall → recreate the freestanding corrections in a controlled wall context.
  • Tuck overshoot drill → kick too far on purpose and bail freestanding to reduce undershooting fear.

C2W 11 to midday three variations:
  1. staggered leg (easier)
  1. straight pike to I
  1. small straddle to I
 
same straddle transition with less leg tension

⚠️ Stabilisation
Start with 3 - 5 sets of max push (remember piking or falling towers can help in that)
 
I. Alignment - Till it gets boringly easy
goal: 5 back to back successfully
Soft kick-ups shaping distance (V and I)
→ Frozen kick-up (shaping distance)
→ Double push kick-up (shaping distance)

II. Balance: the two patterns that need to be prioritised: double push and modulating
 
C2W take off with momentum : stabilise and hold for 5 seconds. Pick one of the following variations:
  1. lean on wall and push on front leg
  1. front leg extension
  1. elbows flexed + hand everted On wall → take off BY extending elbows and inverting hands → Stabilise
 
III. Timber recovery
B2W heel and everted → elbow bend slow extension into Sticking it
Bent elbow or everted hand max hold (mindful of inflammation)
 
B2w Suboptimal kick-up OS or US
