Building muscle doesn’t always
require lifting heavy objects. As worldclass
gymnast Brandon Wynn
proves, sometimes the only weight
you need is your own.
Wynn’s week is split into strength workouts and gymnastics training, the latter of which
consists of training various “skills,” or routines, for each of his six events.
To perfect each skill, he performs them with a slow tempo in the first half of the week and then
speeds them up in the second half to build
strength.
Wynn says that you can substitute each skill with a lift that you’d like to improve. “Your lifts will improve fast with the constant varying in tempo and rep range,” he says. “This structure also prepares your body for any style of workout and is a great way to prepare for any body weight
competition.”
