Tuck planche to handstand.(s)

Finally.......:D


Feels great to get this after all my targets for the last year involved this :)

This video is after a few days of being able to do it. I can already see much more core strength and feel a lot stronger in my shoulders and whole body. I am also not needing to bend my arms so much as my back and core has enough strength to raise on their own a bit more.

Now to get it with straight arms or a few reps. Great success!!

Recent tings

Haven't had time to do much training recently so been starting my conditioning mania regime.

Tuck planche to handstand is looking a loooot closer at the moment; I can hold the position for about 5 seconds then bend my arms and press until I am in the handstand position but with bent arms that I can't straighten. So I need more arm and shoulder strength to press up from there or loads more core strength to be able to press with straightish arms. Feeling really confident though :D

We are definitely going to Cambridge again 22ND September. Can't wait to see how much my progression over the summer will affect what I can do there. Conditioning and coursework is now my life!!!! haha with the odd jump :P

Back to how I left off

Well I set myself the challenge today of getting backflips again and after hard conditioning and a loooot of stretching i attempted them. And got them within 10 failures where i jump slightly to the side. It was the first time I have done them since I broke my nose and am really glad I conquered it tonight.

The technique is lazy but I get round OK. And, not to make excuses, by the time I recorded this one I was knackered. But my plan is now to get them so I can do them every time first try onto cushions then progress onto hard ground. Unless of course I'm feeling mad tomorrow :D

I will upload the video onto youtube for a few days just for you Ross :) as blogger won't do anything with it. grrrrrrrr blogger grrrrrrr.
