Frot and effect training 🔱🔥
Today, I want to share with you how my training went. I worked on the front lever, specifically on the lever and holds, and also on an exercise called efesto.
Honestly, I hadn't trained efesto in a very long time; I would say almost a year. I remember that when I was just starting to progress in the front lever, I had begun training efesto and I could almost do it correctly. I didn't fully extend my elbows, but I could lower myself almost completely and then return to the starting position with little effort.
However, one day during a workout, I pulled a muscle in my biceps, which caused me to stop training efesto for almost two weeks. As a result, I set it aside and focused only on the front lever, which I was training three times a week. For a beginner at that time, that was a lot of load for the biceps, especially since I was also lifting weights.
I decided to leave efesto aside, but nowadays I plan to start training it again. I'll do it gradually, beginning with once a week. In today's workout, I only did negatives and some positive reps supported on the ground in the front lever.
The training mainly focused on lever work and increasing seconds held. I did about three sets of wide front lever holds, which didn't go too badly. The distance isn't much; I’d say about three feet, but little by little, I’m aiming for seven seconds. I only hold five seconds with good form.
I also worked a bit on pull-ups, though not much. It was a combination where I did one pull-up, a press, and a full negative. The rest was basic work: three pull-ups, three presses, three negatives, and three seconds of hold. After that, I lowered myself, moved forward, and repeated the same.
Lately, I’ve noticed I haven't been really pushing my numbers—just training for the sake of training. Remember, to progress in static holds, it’s important to set long-term and short-term goals.
For example, my long-term goal is to achieve the SAT. In the short term, I want to increase my seconds in the touch hold, which currently I only hold for about three to four seconds. I hadn’t set that as a goal before; I just trained and held as long as I could. But this week, I’ve been very focused on improving that.
Regarding how I felt during today’s workout, I felt really good despite being exhausted. I’ve been doing a lot of lifting lately because I started incorporating weights again. My body is overloaded, but I plan to give it about four weeks. I’ve been training weights and calisthenics for roughly two weeks; I don’t do weights every day—just one rest day. As for the static holds, I train them three times a week, though I’d say four because on Saturdays I do combo workouts. Last week, I couldn’t train because of a commitment, but that’s what I’m trying to do regularly.
When I finish these four weeks, which will be like a loading phase, I’ll take a light deload week, where I rest and train lightly. The following week, I plan to increase my seconds in static holds.
That period has a name, but I’m not exactly sure what it is. I’d say it’s a volume phase followed by a deload or recovery phase, although not in reverse. It’s a period where I push my muscles and static holds hard, then move into a volume phase, trying to maintain good form.
Well, that’s all for now, friends. I hope you enjoyed this update. See you next time! Thanks for reading my blogs! 💪😤🫂
