I use a five step process to guide my athletes to better scores in gymnastics-heavy workouts:

  1. Strength - are you strong enough to make this movement easy?
  2. Movement Economy - could you use less energy per rep?
  3. Volume - can you handle the number of reps?
  4. Density - can you handle the set sizes?
  5. Intensity - can you handle the set sizes while breathing hard?

In this process, each step prepares you for the next one. 

That's why I also use this process for my athletes' seasons. I will often start my athletes' offseasons on step 1, 2 or 3, before progressing them to the next steps.

Watch me attempt Amanda .45 ​here​. Watching this back, I could have used less energy for each muscle up. If I was coaching this version of me, I would start with movement economy.

I still have spots available for 1:1 Coaching. If you'd like to set up a consult, send me an email: paul@paulbweber.com

If you'll be at Monster Games or the TFX Invitational, send me a DM: @paulbweber
