Razz Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 One of the classic threads that I think we need here on the board, post your latest PR or your all time best or whatever achievements you've accomplished that made you happy. Examples could be loosing those 10 kilos or finally getting below 10% bf, getting your free standing HS etc. etc.Ill start out..did my first straddle-l press HS yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 My handstand progress. People flip out when they see a 220 guy walking easily in a pretty nice, straight handstand, or to be able to hold it for 15-20s perfectly still.I miss being able to do my front lever, but that will be back by the end of the year. I already have a solit straddle, and my straddle isn't very wide.I am currently also very happy with my lower back mobility work. I noticed that it 'hurt' to curl and uncurl my lower back, so I've been working on it every morning, and it looks really silly, but after two weeks of every day work it is SIGNIFICANTLY less problematic! This is a big part of what would hold me back on press handstands, along with straddle flexibility, so I am working hard to improve. I'd love to have a standing straddle press by the end of the year.I guess my final moment, currently, is that my shoulders feel a lot better. I can actually work out again! That's a big deal to me!

Sternford Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I can do a muscle up 90% of the times I try it. There's a lot of forward lean I think, but I'm happy. My splits are almost complete, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Rodriguez Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I got a FS HS for 20 seconds stable with no movement and it felt easy yesterday. Straight line with toes pointed! Hadn't tried in two weeks and was shocked. (had to show a student of mine what I meant)Still in rehab mode as prescribed by Slizz so haven't done anything else. :? Can't wait to try more stuff later though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Sjolin Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Let's see...approx. 1 min straight handstand (took me a bloody long time to do it, too), breaking through to a straddled back lever (5x20 sec), and today, my first muscle up (started from the top of a pull up position, but I think it counts).Nice and slow, and then ran around in slow motion humming the Rocky music to myself.My neighbours now think I'm insane.

Richard Duelley Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 This is the most recent:When I did my first strict bar muscle up a few weeks ago I jumped up and down yelling ‘YES, YES , FINALLY!!’ I got some funny looks by the randoms in the gym that day but that happens a lot to me so I don’t care 8) That was over a year, maybe 2, in the making lol I basically have wanted that since I have known about it. I did 3, not in a row, on Tuesday so its getting better in exactly the same fashion as my ring muscle up did. Before I know it I will be doing sets of 2 and then sets of 3 and then its off to the races! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
