Gymanstics or training?

A quick sample of our upper-body workout...our sprint workouts and power lifting are pretty standard, but this, well, you'll see for yourself.

Among the exercises below, we also have pull ups, push ups, body swings on a lower parallel bar, doing handstands on the low parallel bars and walking our legs up a wall, and so on.

High parallel bars, walking arms and sprinting.

High parallel bars, hanging and walking arms while holding legs off the ground. Ouch to say the least.

The rings. It's an interesting cycle. Upside down, upside down handstand, roll backwards, back to handstand, back to forward with legs hanging but off the floor, then back to upside down...

We'll do 5-8 reps of this cycle, without ever touching the ground. Or, I should say, we TRY to do 5-8, the most I've ever gotten before losing it and touching toes to the ground is 6.

Kettle bell moves, miscellaneous. This day they were side throws, which engage our core stabilizers. This time I managed to whack myself in the knee with a 26lb kettle bell, luckily only causing a little bruise.

I can't remember what this move is called, but it involved standing on a wobbly board and swinging a cast iron baseball bat around our heads. Lots of stability and core and upper body engagement.

It's funny, but I'm always more tired after an upper body workout than a total body or sprint...I guess you can see why?
