Street Workout Training and Routine!

Tips for creating your own Street Workout program!

Let's pick a few moves right from the start to build a small example routine as we go.

If you try to work on everything at once, you won't make progress on anything.

Our tip 👉: start by choosing 2 to 4 main moves you really want to focus on as your goals. This could be the Front Lever, Back Lever, Muscle-up, Handstand...

Try to vary between push and pull moves as well as between vertical and horizontal movements. This will help you stay more balanced and reduce the risk of injuries.

Let's look at the different parts of your workout:

First up, the warm-up – super important to avoid any injuries.

Right after your warm-up, it's a great time to work on flexibility and technique, for example with the V-sit and Handstand, all for 5 to 15 min.

The goal here is to focus more on technique than strength, because you don't want to get tired before your main workout. For these types of movements, the best way to improve them is still to do them as often as possible, as long as it doesn't negatively affect your actual training sessions! 

Next up is the routine itself.

The best Street Workout routine to adopt

There are two ways to do this: Push/Pull and straight arm/bent arm, which let you split exercises into two, while also adding in leg exercises.

For example, let's go with a push/pull split. When choosing exercises, there are two pretty important rules to keep in mind: 

• Start with the move that's a priority for your goals.
• Kick off with the hardest progressions right from the start.

When you're practicing your moves, you're aiming to build strength. So, it's pretty much a waste of time to focus on exercises where you can already do more than 12 reps or hold for 20 seconds straight.

Instead, focus on exercises where you can only manage 1 to 8 reps or hold for 2 to 12 seconds. For the number of sets, unless it's a super tough progression, a smart guideline would be to aim for 15 to 25 reps or 30 to 60 seconds total per exercise.

When you're doing short, intense sets, remember it's super important to get good rest between each one. Depending on how tough the exercise is, take anywhere from 2min30 to 5min of rest.

At the end of your workouts, you can throw in some less technical exercises for more reps if you're looking to build endurance or do some isolation work.  

Street Workout Routine Example

 

Don't forget to jot down your progress after every workout. Usually, 3 to 5 sessions a week are a good idea.

It's totally up to you, depending on your lifestyle, how well you recover, your nutrition, sleep, and so on... 

The main goal is to find a balance where you can consistently make progress.

Once you're happy with a move, you can swap it out for a new goal. Just make sure to keep practicing the ones you already know how to do every now and then, so you can at least maintain them!
