Completely exhausted, just burned out in the middle of the second set. Probably because I didn't have much to eat today. I didn't want to drive to the shops while it's snowing crazily.

Now, i only read 4 or so of your posts but you seem to be busting upwards of 10 of several of your exercises and id suggest either moving on to a more difficult progression OR adding weight.

For example,
put some weight in a back pack for your dead hand pullups
Do Full range of motion Hand stand pushups, or if you are doing elbows out HSPU's then do elbows in, they are harder.

[David Johnson]

Yessir, I'll get on that.

I have been conditioning when I am supposed to, I'm just taking a break from my journal so I can experiment.

[David Johnson]

And suddenly, an update!
Just a tidbit, I'm probably not going to regularly post these any more.


Today's edibles:
Veggie dish: 135 calories
Taco Bell Quesadilla: 540 calories 
Lots of cashews: about 300 calories
2 cans of tuna: 100 calories (but a nice amount of protein)
some milk: 'bout 300 calories
Homemade hamburger: about 200 calories
Whey protein, 2 scoops: 270 calories

Total: 1845 calories
Still need to eat more.

Parkour work:
Roll work, they're nice and dandy
Climb up work, not as fast as I'd like. Need to practice more often.
Handstand practice: Can get around 6 second handstands regularly, I really need to work on these more often.

10 high jumps
10 deadhang pullups

6 elbows in handstand pushups (EI HSPU)
7 jumping pistols
6 weighted deadhang pullups (+30lbs) [WDHP]

Since the snow melted, I went into town to make another attempt at the wall that made me start training climb ups.
I was worried I wouldn't be able to get it, scared that after all this work I still wasn't up to par.
I went up to the wall, jumped up, and did a perfect climb up


AWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOMEAWESOME


anyways, my climb ups are alllll goooooooood

Progress report:
Rolls are still a bit sloppier than I'd hope, I keep forgetting to tuck more. I'll keep working on them.
Speed vaults are as easy as breathing.
Climb ups are alllll goooooooood
Monkey vaults are not very well liked, and my skill with them reflects this
Kongs..I can't go as far with them as I'd like, but they're smooth.
