Training Schedule: 3 Days/Week
Cycle Length: 4 Weeks/Skill
Goal: Master one gymnastics skill at a time through targeted technique, strength, and accessory work.
WHAT IS THE SKILLS CYCLE?
The Skills Cycle is a focused, progressive gymnastics program that helps athletes build real gymnastics skill mastery by dedicating four full weeks to a single skill.
Instead of trying to fix everything at once, you will dial in one movement at a time, building better positions, stronger foundations, and more confident reps.
WHAT TO EXPECT EACH WEEK
Each training day includes three core components:
Technical drills that clean up timing, shapes, and efficiency.
Specific strength progressions matched to the skill of the cycle.
Structural balance and positional volume to reinforce the movement.
WHO THIS IS FOR Athletes wanting better gymnastics in WODs
Athletes stuck on specific skills
Anyone who wants a clear, simple plan that actually delivers progress
Coaches seeking quality progression templates
HOW IT WORKS
Every 4-week cycle targets ONE skill (BMU, RMU, T2B, HSPU, butterfly pull-ups, etc.). You will progress week to week through increasing complexity and intent, then test at the end before switching to the next skill.
