It is easy to work out at your place for people like us, gymnasts. We use our own weight instead of dumbbells or something. Gymnasts must be better at doing self-weight training. My main list for upper body of recent days is like:

• straddle handstanding 5*3
• hands stand push up 10*3
• chinning exercise with backpack filled with books 10*4(concentrate on triceps*2, on broadest muscle of back *2)
• dips with the same backpack

I think it is more natural to train using your weight than using weights like dumbbells, you’ll get more useful muscles, don’t you think? Muscles trained by weight, machines or something like that tend to be showy but worthless. maybe… maybe. Additionally, some times you find people working out with dumbbells and machines look unnaturally built, don’t you?

I said that it’s easy to do self-weight training for gymnasts, but I didn’t say that it’s too difficult for not-gymnasts people really. Anybody can try that also. I wish everybody who wants to be in good shape will get natural healthy body. Summer is almost there! 

You can easily find how to do self-weight training. google it!

何年ぶりだろうか。今日、神戸大学で体操の練習中、手の皮剝けた。練習終了後、段違い平行棒の低バーでアドラーの練習をする熱心な現役生に混じり久々にやってみたら、一発目でご臨終。痛い。メンタムとか久しぶり。

その他、前方本転やったり、鉄棒少し練習したよ。珍しく。今度栗東で飛び越ししよっと。ピーク時の技を復活させれたら7技揃う（※）。今度ツイストの練習の仕方を教えてもらっておこう。これで8つ。

※体操のルールってオリンピック毎に変わるし、ややこしいから一般の人は分からないと思うけど、今のルールはとりあえず難度認定してもらえる技が7個ないと、ビックリするほど点が出ないのです。
