- handstand bailing
awkward. something not clicking.

Assuming it's cartwheel bailing? What do you feel is the problem?

Also, what do you thing of the program so far? Worthwhile?

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 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.

active rest day, hiked/climbed around some 2000-year-old buddhist ruins for a couple of hours. mild sunburn on back of neck.

evening

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.

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.

Nice! Kip ups are wicked fun. Especially when you get to no hands as well. They're also a movement that seems impossible at first but once you "get it" it's like riding a bike.

Edit- Remembered I had a vid of me doing them somewhere- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtb94Gqf83Y

skipped cartwheels because power out so it's pitch dark outside.

EDIT: about 30-40 minutes after workout ended, started feeling a strain in the left side of my chest that migrated to posterior shoulder and left side of neck. was pretty much gone by the time i went to bed and no effects this morning. still, something to be mindful of.

- rock climbing x a bit
new friend invited me to go to an outdoor artificial facility here. only did a few attempts. it was fun. will probably keep going occasionally. must maintain focus, though: climbing is also hella draining.

ate something funny last night and now i have diarrhea and feel tired.

EDIT: warmed up but could not even get into crow properly. definitely too lightheaded (prob because dehydrated) for inversions. taking day off.

felt slightly nauseated toward the end, fucked up kip-up set up so jarred tailbone a little and called it. still recovering from 24 hours of diarrhea. will work more on them tomorrow or during next active rest day. handstand bailing remains a source of frustration. video follows, is a mess:

on the plus side, cartwheels getting better:
