Holy shit! 60s on crow. That's the same as frog stand yeah? I'm struggling to get 5s on that one.

yeah, same as frog stand. dunno, for whatever reason i find it very easy most of the time. tried it for the first time about two months back in my friend's yoga class and could immediately hold for 20s or so. the main limiting factor is wrist discomfort/fatigue.

i suck at so many other things, don't mind being a crow savant, lol.  ::)

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.

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.

What are you training for? 

Some kind of gymnastics?  It's super fun to integrate into training, as athletic as you are handstands, front tucks and back tucks and gainers are super easy to get in a few months.  I used to mess around with a bunch of tumbling, I still do backtucks and front tucks but gainers and twists are scary and I need to refresh them on forgiving surfaces before attempting them on concrete.  Def good skills to get...

As far as the handstand bails, the problem is that you are not actually doing handstand before you bail...

This can be fixed w two things. 

More time on the wall to figure out the hands.  The balance is in the hands - push harder to go back and release pressure to fall forward... you have to get the feelin in the fingers for this.

For the bail you have to bail AFTER you lose the handstand rather than before.  To do this you need to learn to forward roll out of your handstand.  Start slow w basic hopping forward rolls but you quickly will be able to hold your handstand and fall forward and then as you are losing it tuck your chin to your head and roll out of it. 

To do this right you want to also release your elbows so they bend as you forward roll... this will be hard at first but it's ok.  Initially you won't lower yourself into the forward roll gracefully so it will be more like handstand - fall onto upper back - roll out.  Not pretty but on grass it won't be painful or dangerous as long as you keep your chin tucked...

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?
