Hey,
Nice to meet all of you! My name is Yongho Shin. I am 20 years old.
I am very inspired when I watch gymnasts and acrobats. I decided to drop from my college rowing team to pursue gymnastics this year. I have been doing a lot of reading and note-taking, and have started doing exercises to build my strength and flexibility.
I have a question on training: how often and how long should I do it? I read that gymnasts train their whole body for 4+ hours a day, 5-6 times per week. This is against what I have been taught in bodybuilding. (rest 1-2 days before working same muscles again)
I've spent an equivalent amount of time while on the rowing team, so I am sure I can make the time for this kind of training. Is this the smartest way to build strength and flexibility for a beginner gymnast?
