Street Workout workout and routine!

Tips for creating your own Street Workout!

Let's take a few tricks right off the bat, so that we can create a little example routine as we go along.

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

Our advice 👉 : start by choosing 2 to 4 figures that will serve as the main objectives you really want to focus on. This could be Front Lever, Back Lever, Muscle-up, Handstand...

Try to vary between pushing and pulling figures, as well as between vertical and horizontal movements. This will keep you more balanced and reduce the risk of injury.

Let's take a look at some of your training components:

First and foremost, the warm-up, hyper-important to avoid injury.

Right after the warm-up, it's a good time to introduce flexibility and technique work, such as the V-sit and the Handstandfor 5 to 15 minutes.

The aim here is to work more on technique than strength, because you don't want to tire yourself out before training. For this type of movement, the best way to improve is to do it as often as possible, as long as it doesn't negatively affect your real training! 

Then comes the routine itself.

The best Street Workout routine to adopt

There are two ways of doing this: the Push/Pull and the Stretch Arms/Bent Arms, which allow you to split the exercises into two, while adding those for the legs.

For example, we're going to start with a push/pull. When it comes to choosing exercises, there are two fairly important rules: 

• Start with the figure that has priority in your objectives.
• Start with the most difficult progressions from the outset.

When you're working on your figures, you're looking to increase your strength, so it's pretty pointless to focus on exercises for which you can already do more than 12 reps or 20 seconds in a row.

Concentrate instead on exercises for which you can do between 1 and 8 repetitions or between 2 and 12 seconds. In terms of number of sets, except for very difficult progressions, a good range would be between 15 and 25 repetitions or between 30 and 60 seconds total per exercise.

When you do short, intense sets, don't forget that it's important to rest well between each set. Depending on the intensity of the exercise, take between 2min30 to and 5min rest.

At the end of the sessions, you can add less technical exercises for more repetitions if you want to do endurance or isolation.  

Example of a Street Workout routine

 

Don't forget to write down your performance after each workout. Generally, between 3 to 5 sessions per week are recommended.

It's up to you depending on your lifestyle, recovery, nutrition, sleep etc... 

The aim is to find at least a balance on which you can progress regularly.

Once you're satisfied with your figure, you can replace it with a new one. All this, while continuing to train the ones you already know from time to time, so that you can at least maintain them!
