Killer Practice

[gymgymgymnast08]

We had like this horrible practice today. We had to do like sooo much conditioning! We did like sucicides, and jumping jacks on the resi( its like 32 inches I think?). Lets just say everyone limped home!

HAHA! Please share your killer practice ever! I wouldn't say this one was the worst one ever but comes close!!!

Sounds like a good workout to me! I LOVE to drag myself home and wake up sore the next morning. That's how I know I've gotten a good workout.

haha oh man. That sort of reminds me of this one practice I had a while ago... my teammate and I always had a bad habit of being 4-5 minutes late for practice, and we always had good excuses, neither of us drove and we couldn't' control our transporation...except on saturday mornings, where we were still late.

haha this particular saturday, he just snapped. We got there and he was waiting for us with crossed arms. We always got there at the same time for some strange reason and sprinted into the gym. He had prepared like 4 sheets of conditioning for us and we conditioned for the whole practice--4 hours. It was craziness. We were so sore. haha

needless to say, neither of us were ever late on saturday mornings again.

The night I broke my ankle was pretty bad lol. But the worst was when we did vault and conditioning ALL NIGHT LONG......

I was so sore getting into the car to go home was agony lol.

Conditioning a ton has never bothered me. I know that it helps. Maybe that's why I like track...those workouts are so crazy!

i had a pretty killer practice last night... it started all right, but then when we were on vault mine weren't to good, so i stayed longer on it while everyone else went to bars. so i vaulted for about 20 minutes BY MYSELF!! and then my coach decided that there wasnt' time to get to bars before conditioning, so i TUMBLED BY MYSELF for another 20 minutes! it was so tiring!!!!!!

I cant really remember the worst practice ive had as a gymnast!

but my gymnasts told me they were in agony after counting down in 5's from doing 100 sit ups
100,95,90,85,80,75,70 and so on

its strange, they seem to find it amusing not being able to move!!

haha I think its pretty amusing too! Then I feel like a beast because I did so much!

I can't remember a specific practice that was all around brutal.

However, a few years ago two weeks before the end of summer I hurt my wrist and couldn't do anying on it for the rest of the summer. But of course I didn't want to waste my last two 15 hour weeks before returning to my usual 3 hours per week of training. I would come into the gym every day and would spend the vast majority of the time doing stomach conditioning. Needless to say I was very sore, but on the plus side I got killer abs.

Also the summer before that I ripped the second week and then proceded to rip 10 more times that summer (9 of which were in the same spot). In an efort to give my hands some healing time I mostly didn't do bars until about the middle of August. I would usually go on bars once or twice a week (convinced that my rip was healed enough to do bars) just long enough to rip again, which usually before I was done my chin-ups. I the rest of our daily bars time doing mostly p-bar dips and handstand push-ups. I had really strong arms by the end of the summer.
