The motivation to train with static holds after a few days of rest is high. Since I was training at a gym, I started my warm-up with some basics like push-ups and scapular pull-ups, along with some Australian pull-ups, before beginning this static hold session.

I started with the front lever, doing three pull-ups, a press, and a three-second hold. Then I moved to a supinated front lever and did one pull-up. After several attempts, I went down to a half front lever and did archer pull-ups, regular pull-ups, and a few touch pull-ups. Although it's a relatively easy progression, adding power moves makes it more challenging.

I saved the best for last: the plank. The only downside was that the bar I was using for the static hold session wasn't very helpful, but I kept looking for ways to do it anyway. I focused more on biceps strength, applied maximum tension to my wrists by gripping the bar as tightly as possible, and performed the plank with a slightly wider stance, almost a wide stance. Once I found it comfortable, I made several attempts, adding push-ups between each attempt without a full hold at the end.

This workout was intense; I feel I've improved significantly and will continue to do so.
