Well, today I was going through my V-Ups, and I realized something... Probably the whole time I've been doing my MN progressions, I've been using momentum to come up... So, I retested myself and found out I can barely do PE1... Anyone else experience this, not necessarily with the MN progressions but others?

When I moved my Manna work from a free pull up bar to stall bars I quickly realised I needed to step back and start my Manna journey again.
PPP on the toes/slider was also an eye opener.

Yeah, with F3 manna work. I expected to sail through it as I'd been working a later progression, only to quickly discover that the bars I was using weren't wide enough >.< dropped down four exercises from what I expected and am working my way back up....
Oh wow, that has to be a blow to the ego, Jon. I know I'm not as far, but it hurt mine when I just thought I finally left straddle ups behind!
Gavin, I have to agree. My first few sets of PPP were in my chucks outside on asphalt... I did them the other day in the house with a rug and tile flooring.... Great eye opener.

I had no ego left in training after F1 
the important thing is that it means easy gains are there for the taking 
I've almost made up the ground now, meaning I've just about fixed a potential problem. That's not setback, that's investment 
I'm still working on checking my ego at the door when I train. All in all foundation, other calisthenics, and even yoga( just started) have been a humbling experiences for me. Like I mentioned in another post, I let my machine and barbell strength get the better of me when I started bodyweight movement practices, so I'm basically starting from square one all over again anyways.
