This is my actual stretching plan that I am following for November and December of 2022 to wrap up the year and start 2023. This is literally what my training plan looks like for stretching.

Training outside of my stretching is not included. It consists of handstands 4 days/wk and 2 days of strength work with one session being bent arm focused and the other straight arm focused.

These sessions take me around 1 hour, but they are not intended to be fast, or long, stretching sessions. The idea is to learn the exercises and execute every rep and every second of the holds with quality and focus. How long it takes you should be individual based on your experience with your training and ability to handle the reps and sets involved.

With solid focus and consistency an increased range of motion will be a side effect of your quality of work learning to move better and understand these exercises to the highest degree.

Weeks 1-4 are 4 sessions per week. Weeks 5-8 are 5 sessions per week. The workouts for weeks 1-4 and 5-8 respectively are the same in terms of reps and sets. Progression comes from an increase in quality, range of motion, positional integrity, loading, etc.

Get mobile and stay strong
I need my mobility to allow me to express my movement capacity, not make me flimsy and weak. This program uses a combination of passive, active, and weighted mobility drills to build strength in progressive ranges over time. New range is weak range, so we train in a way that strengthens it as it develops to increase functionality and reduce injury risk long term.

It's time to get serious about your mobility

I have no tolerance in my own training for wasting time. These exercises are selecting and placed together in a way that works. It's that simple. If you want to train in a way that increases mobility and supports your strength training and gymnastics work,
