"It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them."
--Alfred Adler--

APK Warm-Up

Workout: Handstand and Front Lever conditioning:

Choose 2-3 movements for each skill, varying from high-tension harder movements, to slightly easier volume related movements. Perform each as a straight set, resting 2:00-3:00 between efforts of the harder movements, and perhaps 1:30 between the higher-volume movements.

Finish all of your chosen handstand skills before moving to the lever work. Some ideas for progressions:

Handstand holds

Handstand lowering: Split, bent knee, pike

Hanstand Presses: Split, bent knee, pike

Presses from L or V position

Jump to inversion

Pike or tucked pull to inversion

Lever lowering: tucked, split, pike

A sample template might look like this:

Hard handstand movement; 3 sets of 1 or 2 attempts, 2:30 rest.

Moderate handstand movement; 4 sets of 4 attempts, 2:00 rest.

Hard Lever movement: 4 sets of 1 or 2 attempts, 3:00 rest.

Moderate Lever movement: 5 sets of 3 attempts, 1:30 rest.


Post the progressions chosen, results, and any questions about substitutions to comments.  Compare to 5-16-07

I'm pretty sure the comparison day, i.e. 5/16, has a video.

Been so sore from the multiple runs / filming of the Westmonster session so I've been out of touch :] 
 
Not much to report, just kind of worked regular handstands and planches for a good while today!
