Refining is coming along. I will start practicing the full Flow by the end of this week. As you’ll notice, my main challenge right now is being able to come down from the full Shoulder Stand in control and directly into the Straddle Sit. Also, I’m working on finding my way to making my arms more parallel to the floor during that Stand.

Note on the last movement: My line is kind of hampered by the top-end of the dumbbells’ knob; it seems even more apparent on film than I thought it would be. No matter; I’m getting my realz p-barz. SOON…
A note on that; while I’m waiting to receive them I’ll be taking a week-long break in regards to parallettes training. I’ve been training them for several months now, so before I jump to the last phase I feel it will be beneficial to do unrelated work for a while.
You know, like pulling 400lbs off the floor.

Almost a week back from vacation! My first (except holidays) in pretty much 5 years! A lot of shenanigans happened with my fellow classmates, and it was nice to press the reset button, mentally and physically.
Now I’m back to business with my last semester to go and many other projects this summer. It’s gonna rock, let me assure you.

I’ve also found another way to work the press transition, using parallel dip bars. Currently, all I’m able to do is lift my hips up to parallel, while bending my arms. Goal would be to: Read more

Muppets are cool. Admit it.
Challenge #6: Straddle Press to Handstand
I can now hold a Tuck Planche for 2 seconds!

Remaining time to reach target: 58 seconds. And this position is much more about strength than balance. When I can get about 10 seconds I’ll start testing movements with the legs in that position, to add variety to the training.
