SUCH A NICE PUPPY DOG YES YES YES

nope nope nope. went down a flip tutorial rabbit hole on youtube last night and i'm pretty sure i could do at least a back flip pretty easily if i had a safe place to practice or could muster the stones to do it on my lawn. must not rush, though. am enjoying the gradual, prescribed road.

that video is hilarious. and yeah the training has different kinds of inversions -- cartwheels, wall walks, and wall kick-ups for starters, and the aforementioned bailing. not sure what you mean by too gymnastics centered. the goal is to master basic bodyweight moves. so far it's as much fun as i've had training since i was at my absolute peak of jumping.

treating handstand bailing as kick-up practice makes a huge difference. got first legit freestanding kick-up today. frustrated with kip-ups, tried full movement and it just was not happening. got some video at the end, which will never be seen by another pair of human eyes. basically it looks like i'm just not kicking hard up enough, i think because of fear. on the plus side i did more reps than i'd done in any previous workout. right wrist bugging a little.

ETA: watched some more tutorial videos for the kip-up and the biggest mistake i'm making seems to be that i'm kicking forward instead of up. common mistake. will incorporate next time, along with taking the bridge stretch more seriously.

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?

- warm up, FF shoulder opener, cool down

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.

- some cartwheel and handstand bailing practice
latter remains ugly. have video now of what my default looks like.

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.
