There are times when you want to break down and rage at the heavens. Don't. Stay calm, and let the emotions flood in, accept them and then rise above them. Never dwell. Don't fear or worry. Anything worth thinking about is worth talking about. And... Good luck.

Well, just checked my form on front lever today and I figured out my form was a little off... I had my hips above my chest... I corrected that and my weak link became very apparent... My abs, or whatever you want to call them. Could barely hold an advanced tuck front lever with corrected form...
