I actually expected more than 9 seconds from a ring specialist, but then again, they're more focused on strength, and aren't required to hold the positions for longer than 3 seconds.

He was tired from previous exercise, of course, though the girl watching always gives some boost and stamina :mrgreen:

How long do they stay in handstand at the second video? 10 min? :?:

translation posted on youtube:

CYB: Twice. Tueday we do 20mins with weights on the waist, Thursday we do 40mins.

N: The time for holding handstands is 20mins, but the gymnasts have to do that with weights. Some of them plug in their earphones; using music to while away this gruelling period of time.

W: Xiao Mi -nickname of Zoukai, meaning small eyes-, you said something about being especially ugly when you're doing handstands?

Damn, 40 minutes of handstand?! That's nuts!

:shock:

not sure if anyone noticed, but the straddle weighted stretch with a weight behind the person's head seems like a pretty good idea...

Vagabond

Usually, I had a coach pushing me instead of using the weight...
