Lessons Learned

Today I learned that you do a pullover by doing the pullup first THEN the actual pullover part. I hammered out about three in a row first try after learning this. I had been doing them with the leg raise first then the pull up into the roll over the bar. Boy do I feel like an idiot. 

 

I also learned today firsthand how much of a difference doing leg raises on stall bars makes. My max hanging (I did them on rings if that matters) is 16. That was about 4 months ago. Today I tried them on stall bars and got five before I hit failure. 

 

I also learned that the more strap length, the easier muscle ups are. 

 

Then I learned never to become complacent. After doing at least 100 handstand kongs in my time training them, I did one today off of a balance beam. It went fine. I did another one, but this time my lack of concentration showed when I hit my foot on the beam with quite a lot of force. It's not broken, but it is jammed pretty hard. Had I not planned on landing on my toes I would have definitely broken it. 

 

Today has been a day of many lessons. Hopefully someone else reads this and learns from my mistakes and misconceptions. Or maybe I'm just an idiot. I'm not sure

You are never an idiot for learning from mistakes; yours or other's for that matter.

Thank you for sharing your progress and experience.
