RX Gymnastics Course

posted on September 16, 2013

RX Gymnastics CourseI’m excited to announce the launch of a project I have been working on for the last few months – The RX Cross-Training Gymnastics Course.

I put this program together because an all too common problem I see at Cross-Training boxes is clients who after a few months or even years of Cross-Training training still heavily rely on scaling movements such as pull-ups, push-ups, ring dips, handstand push-ups, and muscle-ups.

The RX Gymnastics Course is my solution to help people progress at these movements in conjunction with their regular training at their own Cross-Training box with short 10-15 minute bodyweight strength training sessions before or after class.

The RX Gymnastics program is an accessory bodyweight strength program specifically for people who are training at a Cross-Training facility.

I’ve organized it so that each movement is broken down into 5 levels. Each time you complete that level’s objective you can move to the next level. For example, when a person can get their first strict pull-up they move from level 1 to level 2 for pull-ups. I love this because it gives individuals clear and manageable objectives as they progress towards being able to RX Cross-Training workouts that have a bodyweight movement.

On top of the course, I also spent a weekend at the gym filming an HD movement library that shows the correct technique for over 90 progressions that are used in the program.

All-in-all I am very happy with it and am looking forward to hearing success stories in the coming months. To learn more, here are some blog posts that have the first 2 levels of each of the movements.
