Gymnastics

Strength at the end of every range.

What it asks of you

Gymnastics demands strength in positions most training never visits: overhead, inverted, fully extended. Shoulder and wrist capacity, trunk control, and patient progression are the whole programme.

Where to build durability

Wrists, shoulders and lower back. Range comes before load, always.

Training guidance, not medical advice. Pain that persists is a question for a clinician, not a programme.
