floor to feet for now. the way things are designed eventually i'll learn to incorporate them into "flows," i.e. series of connected moves. like a kata, kind of. and then in future phases add more difficult moves.
week 3 starts tonight. things pick up a bit in intensity. excited.
evening - GMB F1 W3 D1 handstand bailing still just clumsy and disorganized. progress on handstand facing out though, floated into a free handstand nicely a couple of times. wall walks also better, getting closer to wall. excited to learn kip-ups.
it's 6:45 AM and i'm about to go watch a couple hours of rockets-thunder at a friend's place. pakistani dude who is an nba fanatic. and then go to work.
- GMB F1 W2 D5 cartwheels still inconsistent but starting to get a couple that feel clean. need to film again, was too dark again tonight. feel great otherwise though. was at a barbecue all afternoon and successfully avoided booze the whole time in anticipation of workout. yes.
yep, cartwheel bailing. part of the issue is it just seems to hurt my wrists to twist. after workout this morning, found an older tutorial from them that explains it a little differently, i.e. more explicitly as a funky-hand-position cartwheel. maybe that'll help.
hard to judge the program so far, hasn't even been two weeks. but i'm glad to have something to just give myself over to and stop thinking or planning. one odd things is there appears to be a lot of hip flexor work.
woke up early this morning so did this before work:
- cartwheels x 5/side need to film again. it was too dark tonight. some of these felt good and straight. as i get more confident, i can plant my hands a little farther away from my body and that seems to help keep things aligned.
- handstand bailing awkward. something not clicking.
- GMB F1 W2 D2 pushed myself a little bit more on the volume today. challenge is still 90% from technique. left hip is mildly jacked up. left over from years of LR plants. oh well.
- GMB F1 W2 D1 cartwheels/handstand bailing now too big to practice inside. moved furniture around but still just scared i'll kick something. power was out so couldn't do them on the lawn.
right wrist bugging a little on the facing-out handstand holds.
ETA: what i should do is get my landlord to move the beds out of my second bedroom, or maybe stack them or something so i can still use them for guests when need be, and put mats down in there. that plus a pull-up/muscle-up station and i'd be 100% set to work out at home. and a kettlebell. shit i need to do some measuring and some research.
