I got this new headstand platform thing I saw at a friend’s house.  Her kid is into gymnastics and had one.  I really like it!  Feels much better on my neck than actual headstands do.  My FS holds are improving too, slowly but surely.  SA ring planks are legit, light up the entire core.  Everything else was great!  Thanks!

Sorry, took me forever to blog because I needed some time to edit the videos.  If I look sad juggling it’s because I had a very sad audio book on lol.  Music is way better, lesson learned.  Not my best juggle day but still making progress.  KB work was great but the balance drill was so hard!  I wish I had a set a little lighter than the 26’s.  May have to get another 20#.  Grass was different this week and the reverse bear crawl was so tough, what a wicked cool challenge.  Thanks!

I was smoked this day I think neurologically from the first few rides on my young horse is my guess.  I came home from the barn and took a rest before I made myself get in the gym.  I did feel better once I got moving.  Had a good FS hold or 2.  Single arm ring planks are hard but I love them.  Definitely got an ab burn on that series.  Sore the next day kinda all over.  Strongman stuff felt great.  Thanks!

Did a pretty athletic horse ride lesson in the morning and then this in the afternoon.  Body feeling good.  Enjoyed all of this and the time to work on the thoracic bridge.  It still just feels so good when I’m done and through the next day.  Thanks!

Feeling a bit tired today after a busy week.  Boxing drills were fun!  The plank toss was hard to rebound as nicely as he did in the video.  

KB amraps were a fun challenge.  First round I tried slow singles but that was actually harder than doing bigger sets.  Reverse weight bear crawl is pretty hard!  Cool variant.  Ttb sure have improved.  Thanks!
