May 18, 2026

Daily score: 6 (did this after driving 4 hours home from mtn bike trip)

#4 - Handstand drills + pulling upper
A. Gymnastic drills from session 2 - 15 min pick some of the ones you liked and felt good in low volume today as a warm up

Done


B. Thoracic bridge follow along
--> This is very challenging so do not expect to do all the movements, and expect to add extra rest in here. session 1 maybe expect you would do about half the volume. and you will need to find some regressions of the movements. but report in how you feel

Done


+
Every 2 min x6 sets (3/each)
odd- 3 weighted pull ups
even- 12 bent over barbell rows

12.5#/75#


Handstands are coming along.  I do appreciate the drills and feel like that variety is helping me shift the balance into my core, less in my hands.

Oh that video…wow.  I have some weaknesses I didn’t even know about.  First- one of the very first exercises where they sit and put their hands behind them straight with fingers touching…yeah, no way my hands could touch.  Also the pulses into reverse plank with the knees bent, ouch.  My shoulders and elbows are so tight!  I did okay through the middle bit.  Then came the bridges.  I can push up into a bridge with my feet about 20-24 inches high.  But I don’t look like them.  Push ups seemed like an irresponsible idea lol.  So I just did some holds.  Hip taps also laughable.  I can barely reach back and walk down the wall.  Some of it feels like neck tension.  So wow.  I have plenty of thoracic extension to gain!  I am sore the next day but not terrible.  

Emom went great.  Thanks!
