workout fail over the weekend, too many social obligations and i was lazy in not making enough time before having to leave for stuff. that said, it was a great weekend. went to a water fight party at some rich folks' farm house on saturday and it was the most fun i've had in ages. and i warmed up, stretched, and did some stuff. just not full prescribed workout.
back on the horse this evening.

hey T0ddday, welcome back! thanks for the tips. had gathered the bit about handstand bailing not really being a thing unless you can do an actual handstand from my own trial and error. am following a prescribed program at the moment and fairly happy to give myself over to it so i'm not gonna do front tuck bails for now. the program doesn't call for freestanding handstands yet, so i haven't been practicing them too much, although recently i have started to because of the aforementioned realization.
to answer your first question: training to be able to do basic gymnastics moves: handstand (i know, i know), cartwheels, kip-ups, and eventually more advanced stuff like backflips, flags, aerials, etc.
how you? how is the transition/move going? been training at all?

« on: May 06, 2017, 04:07:05 am »Cartwheels looking pretty sweet.
Have you tried bailing from a wall based handstand? Much easier and might give you the feedback that you need. Also, I dare say that if you can't hold a freestanding handstand then any bailing is going to look kind of ugly.
good point about not being able to hold a freestanding one. i can, a little bit, but can't really kick into it consistently. think i need to just treat handstand bailing as kicking into a freestanding handstand and then coming out of it under control rather than the weird quasi-cartwheel thing i've been treating it as.

slight progress on cartwheels at the end after messing around with and placement distance from front foot. farther=better. did not wuss out on conditioning circuit.

great workout. strong crow. widened grip on second set and it was straight-up easy, i could read the newspaper out loud in that position. progress on handstand bailing because i sacked up and just started kicking harder, closer to what i'll need for a freestanding handstand. still not good but better. got first freestanding handstand as well, during wall-facing out on the fourth rep i didn't make contact with the wall on the kick. held for a few seconds. got a little sloppy after that because i was chasing the dragon, lol. figured out a workable set-up for kip-ups-to-sit, as well. still a little tough on the tailbone at times but not so much so that i can't do them. they are still very much a work in progress.

just wanted to add something to what everyone else is saying: it's incredible what a community you've created on here, andrew. like, when i step back and think about the fact that i have friends that i've never met face-to-face but that i've known for years just through this forum -- in some cases longer than i've known close "real" life friends! -- it boggles my mind a little bit. not just training buddies, either, but people who go through shit on here: chris with his wife and kids, me going through a break up and moving thousands of miles, taylorhorton trying to decide whether to go to college or not, eric and his job shit, avishek going from batshit crazy to only a little bit crazy. that connection is the biggest reason i still keep my journal on here, long after it stopped being a forum with a lot of active coaching. and i can't help but believe that your mom, who helped raise you to be the man you are, gets a lot of credit for this community's existence. we all owe her some thanks.
i never met her, but i'm your friend, and so i'm grieving with you this week, from the other side of the world.
