do a handstand pushup

Unfortunately, tested this morning I can still only do 3 elevated pike pushups in a row… which is about 1/2 of a pushup more than I could do 5 weeks ago. I’m gonna switch over to a few reps at a 60 degree angle every other night or so, to accelerate this process. I’m still quite heavy (@225), which is more of a problem than I thought it would be.

or something. I got a handstand down on Tuesday’s practice session. Apparently, it’s easy if you lock your arms out. silly me. The moment I start to go down, my shoulder gives out. That’s fun. Anyway, Trying again today. This journey is longer than I had anticipated.

I’ve always wanted to be able to do capoiera, break-dance and do all sorts of great tumbling stuff with my body. One of the fundamentals is being able to support myself on my hands. As I work towards being able to pull off a handstand push-up, I am confident that it will set the foundation for a number of other skillsets and propel me on my way to infamy. mwuhaha. Plus, It will help condition me to learn capoeira
