This cycle of the gymnastics workout program focuses on more traditional style strength training. Training sessions will typically be circuits of skills built in previous cycles.
Cycle five will also build some foundational movements in gymnastics such as roll variations and handstand variations. Scale them appropriately to your skill level and work on these skills for 10-20 minutes when they come up.
