Session 91

better session than the previous month or two

3 rds
Hollow slide out pushups  x 15
Lsit t2b x 8 - frickin hard
Weighted hell raises (3kg each leg?)

handstands 4 attempts each
ground - not sure about 30 secs i think

getting better

3 or 4 rounds - bunch of attempts at each

straddle press to handstand off floor onto wedge - went well, improving
reverse roll to kip - with band - got one! needs work though

good class

Garage session and some resolutions

Main resolution is consistency. Absolutely necessary for my handstands and for my flexibility.

I also really want to achieve a straddle planche this year which is probably the pinnacle of my goals. I actually wont be fussed if i don't on the proviso that i have put in the work. my feeling is if i give it a decent crack i can do it.

I want to aim at doing stretching and handstand practice every day with some basic strength and endurance. mornings are the obvious answer , with having a two yr old that gets up around 6.30 i think the alarm needs to go off at 5.30. 1km row, stretching for around 1/2 an hour-40 mins then mix up some strength - pullups/pushups/dips/HSPU etc

To have any chance of that working drinking most nights out of habit needs to stop. Not absolutely no drinking but drinking mid week only if there is a decent reason.

also need to be a bit more thoughtful in my training. Concentration on tightness and control. I've become lazy in some aspects , especially handstands

Here is where my planche is up to to log my progress - a long way to go
