did on grass, uneven ground made landings tough. good practice though. need to focus on kicking high and getting good height on the jump. good height = good rotation = controlled landing.

lost weekend. saturday hosted a bday party for gf in my back yard. was very fun. we bought a few inflatable pools from a dude on the side of the road and rented a huge rug and cushions for people to sit on. many hours, kept drinking to a reasonable level but things went late, ended up feeling sick anyway. last week has been very gf-focused, which is good because there were some big events for her. need to refocus on self a bit this week.

also, life milestone today: one of the finance assistants came into my office with like 30 pieces of paper for me to sign, because i'm becoming an official signatory on my company's bank accounts.  :-X

little behind schedule. cut way back on the front-to-back roll for inner ear purposes, still feel like i'm mastering it pretty quickly (to a basic level anyway). did first set of kip ups as simple rolls to standing, second set focused on pushing harder with my arms but not committing the whole way. felt like progress, managed to land under control each time if still on my back. no banging of feet, pelvis, or back. okay.

made a little progress on double-arm lever and then regressed. it's all about the elbows and the angles. but got a couple weak holds of ~5s so that's okay. right wrist bugging a little on wall handstand holds. focused hard on pushing into the floor.

got my best-ever handstand on a rest break during pirouettes. solid form, three seconds of very stable hold at the top. yes. progress on everything else, too. pirouettes still a bit ugly but the first two sets were solid. here is the third set, with less-stuck landings.

didn't work out yesterday because (1) it was 115 degrees outside, 46 to you non-americans, and (2) gf left for three weeks in the UK last night and frankly working out seemed like not the best use of time. we hung out by the pool at the australian embassy instead, and what exercise i got was of this variety (that's me and gf in the foreground):



pools are fun.

fine. pirouettes are easier on hard floor than squishy grass.

skipped floor kips. too discouraging, need a new set up/plan of attack. got a suggestion on the GMB forums to get some mats and kip from there to the floor, reducing height as i get more comfortable. seems like a good suggestion. need to get some mats.

Have you seen this tutorial before? Makes some good points that I haven't seen in any others. The main one being the importance of the neck. Anyway check it out. And good luck.

thanks coges. will give the vid a look and try it out that way. the gmb tutorial isn't working. for me.

- GMB F1 W7 D6
crow-to-forward roll is boring and easy so i did crow holds instead. good progress on front lever, see vid below (not even my best set). did some free handstand kick ups for the practice, then against the wall. slowly but surely.
