Hi Dominik,

Herzlich Wilkommen zu deinem Custom Training Plan.

Vielen Dank, dass du so fleisig mit uns trainierst! Mach bitte weiterso! Siehst ja, dass es voran geht. Freue mich wirklich, dass ich bei dem progress dabei sein darf!

Wenn du runter scrollest findest du mein kleines und typisches Warm up. Mach das bitte jeden Tag! Dann ein Handstand training und ein Press Spezifisches Condition training. 
Ich wuerde empfehlen anfangs jedes 2 Mal die Woche zu machen und die zu 3 mal die Woche hochzuarbeiten. 

Noch ein Stueck weiter runter dann das Flex Programm. Dieses kannst/solltest du bitte 6 mal die Woche machen. Bitte vorher richtig warm machen jedes mal. Umso mehr du schwitzt umso besser. Aber pass auf, dass du waehrend des dehnen nicht kalt wirst wegen wind/Klimaanlage etc!

 

Viel Spass und sag beischeid, falls du Fragen hast!
Liebe Gruesse

Warm-Up

DemoExerciseReps/SetsHow to/Cues
Forehead to W8xRotate your thumbs up during the W part. Make sure that your elbows are 90 degrees bent and in line with the shoulders. Do not lift the entire upper body. Only lift the elbows and hands.
Straight to W8xFirst reach out towards the front to elevate the scapula then lift the hands up towards the ceiling. On the way back stop with your elbows in line with the shoulders. Lift your elbows and hands up towards the ceiling here as well. Keep your chest on the floor at all times.
Back Extensions8xStart by internally rotating your arms so the back rounds and the pinky fingers touch the floor. Then externally rotate the arm, squeeze your shoulder blades together in the back, look up towards the ceiling and engage the whole back lifting the upper body of the floor. Open your legs sligthly for this exercise.
Arm Circles10x each directionIsolate the movement into the arms only. The rest of the body stays tight and immobile. Quick, small and dynamic circles to wake the shoulders up and get them ready.
Elbow Lifts8xKeep your forehead on the floor and interlock your fingers behind your head.
Wrist Warm UpAs neededStretch your wrists on the floor in all possible directions.

Practice

Learning handstands well takes time. In these workouts we focus on pushing out tall, learning to actually control and not to balance and on isolating the legs. 
Enjoy
