Yuri's Training log

Ha, it's not as interesting as you would think. I had no idea what I was doing back then so it involved a lot of crashing, a lot of trial and error, and I built a lot of bad habits out of it.

But on the plus side, I got pretty good at teaching it

Sunday June 10:

Couple hours of capoeira during the day

evening training in the apt.

stalder presses lowering to straddle planche on paralettes

yewkis

handstand pushups on paralettes

Monday June 11:

During the day, hand balancing on a wooden box, several sets of barbell power snatch from hang, front lever work

evening, planche lean and manna static holds

Tuesday June 12: During the day, handstands and front lever work

evening, rehearsal for a gig: hard floor tumbling, hand balance, strength, and some two-man balance

Wednesday June 12:

Gig early in the morning

they had the super fancy massage chairs at costco, the guy let me use it without the padding so I got a pretty good massage

for an hour before work I played around with side lever pulls and finished with 5x5 rope pullups each arm

saturday june 16

open gym at night, ankle is a bit off so only worked a little tumbling, then did some tap swings on strap bar(hoping to learn giants soon), some planche work on pbars and some rings

legitimately hit a one arm back lever on rings which was pretty cool

Hey, great videos . I've been lurking this forum for a while, and for some reason I always have remembered you. Your work has inspired me to get better at hand balancing . I'm arguably the best handstand guy in my club now. Great work!

I was reminded of you because I thought I remembered you saying at some point that you wanted to be a hand balancer for cirque de solei....

Is that you at 35:40? and other glimpses?

thanks man.

Yeah that's me, I'm still pretty far off from being a cirque hand balancer, I just enjoy the art. If at some point it takes me somewhere, great.

I am still trying to get into cirque, just not necessarily as a hand balancer

I'm glad I inspired you though, keep up the good work
