Had an epiphany of sorts during this session. Decided to try out freestanding handstand kick ups instead of using the wall and amongst the failures there was a solid 5s handstand that was broken only by my disbelief that I was actually holding a handstand. Some pure joy amongst the chaos of falling over and over again.
The rear knee taps is probably my favourite stretch/mobility exercise at the moment. Hip flexors felt absolutely beautiful after these.
