Topic: Should I be hurting like this?

[A-SkyfiOriginal]

I spent all of yester day trying to do a front flip. Didn't land a single one. But I came close alot of the time.
I mostly landed on my butt or my lower back.

Today my whole body is really sore. My neck, back, abs all hurt to move. If I lean a little backwards it hurts to hold my head up. I have to use my hands to hold it with out feeling any pain.

I'm very tired though thats prob just from moving alot.

But should I be feeling this pain?

Soreness is FINE.

Pain is not OK.

There is a difference between the two.

Most people when they do a lot of flipping motions and they're not used to it their whole bodies will be sore because they're not used to resisting the centripetal force required to hold a tuck during rapid body rotation.

It sounds like your neck flexors (specifically sternocleidomastoids) are sore which is fine. Abs will probably be sore. Back.. possibly... if you fell on it a lot that's probably not good though.


Rest. Get proper coaching.

you dont need proper coaching but it help. try and find a softer spot of grass or something next time. watch some turtoials about flips as well if you cant get coaching. as for the pain

If you tried to try something that you can't then yes.
