Session 71

Frickin BOOM!!!

In the last class before Marty goes to Vegas for 3 weeks to train with Cirque de soleil i pulled off two of the best moves so far in 18months of hard training. So Happy!!!!

1st up Marty was confident i could get a legit straddle back lever if i attempted it fresh.


Took a few goes but here it is. Could maybe be a centimetre or two lower but still absolutely legit

then after that worked on lsit to handstand
 got this twice, so happy, I love this move

Session 58

Great session! Absolutely smoked by the end of it.

partner stretching - straddle and pike - ridiculously painful
compression lifts off ball - making progress

ring sequence
lsit to handstand - finally nailed these and did a few really well

this one is not the best but not too bad either

Hang to invert to back lever assisted x 3 

gave straddle back lever a max effort- much better than last time

then did pbar sequence
3 x pike press, 3 HSPU - tired, so was pretty average

with

planche on band - tuck into straddle into pushup

practiced pivoting on hands which was crap, need to get hollow

Practice at Schwartz

Went into Schwartz for some extra training and I'm glad I did

handstand holds - my longest handstand on floor is about 30 seconds and longest on parrallettes is around 40 which I have done a few times and as recently as a couple of days ago.

I hit a handstand for comfortably longer than I have ever done before. Without a video or a timer there is no way I will claim a minute or longer because time goes much slower than it feels in handstands but conservatively it must have been 50 seconds

ring practice

L muscleup to L sit to headstand to straddle back lever

nailed a straddle back lever!!! so happy , first time without Martins help

What's better is some dude was roaming around taking photos and took and amazing photo of me in full back lever, will have to get a copy
