HS/PE3 day 1

After 15 recorded failed attempts I finally managed this glimmer of success:

Far from mastery, but will be updating 

Hey

If you put your elbows closer together you should find it alot easier to keep balance.

Yea, I've been playing around with the elbow placement and feeling an even spread of pressure across the forearms. I tend to pivot my weight on my head/elbows. It's only when I press arms down firmly that I feel the pressure across the forearms.

Yeah you'll know when your getting there because there seems to be no pressure on the forearms. I found once you get use to the change in arm position you master this alot quicker than PE2. 

Nice IM's btw.

Appreciate it : D, been attacking mobility pretty aggressively 

Coming along you're getting the ribs into a much better position as the set goes on, which will pay off significantly when you get on your hands.

Dude, you were not kidding lol. I did 3 sets back to back of 60s

I muted the vid, but I have a metronome in the background. I didn't count my set until I straightened myself out about the 30 second mark. This is 3rd set.

I definitely could have done 5. Might do these again tomorrow.

Nice one!  Straightening yourself out will be a doddle in a couple of weeks!

I keep doing these every handstand night just to make sure i don't lose the feeling while im stuck on the floor at PE5.

Yea, that's what I was thinking looking ahead. Do you do a single 2 minute hold in your warmup for maintenance?

A single set of 60'' in the warm up is fine.

I find i get aches in my upper back if i do more than 1 minute.

I do 3 x 1 mins 

Trained weights today, so I did the pe3 mobility to limber up the shoulders. Figured I'd submit for form check

I'm over pulling these past 180 degrees again, just for extra stretch. I'll resubmit at 180 when I test mastery tomorrow for the pe
