- warm up

- handstand practice x 20 mins
best so far, got several full 3s holds and a couple 4-5s holds. still very inconsistent. mixed in some pirouettes and cartwheels.

- jump rope x a little
first time doing this in quite a while. came right back. might start mixing a bit of jump-rope-based HIIT in before work. gf being out of town makes early nights/early mornings easier.

Nice, gotta work your way up to handstand pushups without using a wall.

combined day 1 and 2 to catch up a little. the workouts aren't terribly fatiguing from a fitness standpoint so this was okay. mentally a little tougher. need to be careful with wrists as well.

halfhearted stretching. jumped rope instead of the continuous 180-degree jumps. is more fun.

amazing workout, i just feel great. slept like 10 hours last night, which probably helped, and it's over 100 outside so i got and stayed very warm. practiced handstands during rest periods, tried different stuff for floor kips including finally dragging the mattress off one of the beds in the guest room so i can properly follow the GMB progression. it's thick enough to work.

started to try to get into some crane instead of crow. playing around with wrist position. struggled with front lever.

fireworks and yelling in the neighborhood right now because pakistan just SMOKED india in the champions trophy finals. bit of a cinderella story this year (although not really because pakistan is a traditional power, they're just a bit down now). i was here in islamabad six years ago when india beat pakistan in the semis of the cricket world cup. this is more fun.

turns out the biggest issue for me on pirouettes is doing them on non-flat surfaces. they are much easier on flat and smooth ground. lol. motivation has been super low the last couple of days. counting down until i head back to the states for three weeks in the wee hours of friday. i'm so goddamn excited.

right wrist started bothering me during cartwheels. floor kips were shit again today after feeling last time like i'd figured out a way to progress. mental block is strong, very frustrated.

Man that sucks about the kips. I know "just keep at it" is not necessarily what you want to hear but I recall chasing this for years and only getting it consistently after a lot of practice.

cheers man, i know that's the way. it's just annoying because i've made progress on everything else. but you're talking to a guy who ground away at trying to dunk, inefficiently but more or less relentlessly, for six years before finally doing it. i'll get there eventually.

struggled a bit again with levers. i think i'm flexing my abs too much or something and the elbows are slipping out. hm. got some good float holds (8-10s) on wall handstands.

now, vacation. will be moving around and practicing here and there but probably not logging, or at least not much. eid mubarak y'all.

halfway through vacation. went for a run/calisthenics workout in the park with gf in san francisco one day and have been walking a lot but otherwise basically no exercise. it's been kind of exhausting, we're moving around a lot. looking forward to heading to the beach on friday and just sitting still for a while. made a pact with gf to exercise every day -- yoga or calisthenics or tennis or a run or whatever.
