Definitely felt the burn in my arms today 🔥

It’s hard to keep the knees locked in under the pits. I was having trouble holding the crow for even a second. I kept falling out. Frustrating but I’m being patient with myself. In time.

Never done crane pose before! This is definitely a challenge for me but a good challenge!

Madeline

Greatttt 💪🏼💪🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻☀️☀️☀️

Paulina

Excellent sir! I was slightly confused with the width of the blocks during those push ups. I had them to the outside of my mat, but was not quite sure how far. Other than that excellent. I feel stronger already.

It was good. Definitely struggling with my crow so time to check back to day 3.

Sandra

Kendall Lowe

Still struggling with crow. I always have the feeling that I am about to topple over. Any tips on that apart from using the fingers as breaks?

Carli

Getting from crow to crane is definitely a challenge for me. But liking your progressions and daily handstand plans. Thanks Brad!

Day 5 you will learn about scapular movements and methods to strengthen the upper back for more support while anchoring and finding a straight line in handstand. You will also review crow as you attempt to straighten the arms into crane using your straight arm and elbow locking techniques.

It was great. My shoulders feel good. I’m proud to say my mobility isn’t so bad. I’m gonna take a pic of my posture for reference to later days of the program.

Second time was a little better than the first

Day 1 - Shoulder Mobility and Straight Line

Sweet! I loved the hand/wrist strengthening exercises. Got my hand muscles and forearms pumped. Especially loved the last movement. Rolling out the forearms, elbow to wrist on a sharp edge. This is going to help me excel with my drumming as well. Very excited about that. Thank you.

Day 2 - Wrist Mobility, Grip Strength and Hand Placement

Those walks in the end are so much fun!❤️

Broseph, that was tiring/tough. Bro, I’m tired. My hips and triceps are done-zo, Alfonso. Loving it though!

Good, but I feel I'm having trouble with a correct crow pose. I've been able to go a sort of crow for a long time, but not necessarily the way it should be

Day 3 - Anchoring Upper Body and Crow Pose

Simple and short yet my wrists are feeling it at the end.

Felt a twinge in my left wrist today that I hadn't experienced before. Definitely need to do a practice day of 1 through 4 to keep strength up!

Hard as hell, but good! Feeling the wrists and triceps!💪🏼🙌🏼

Day 4 - Straight Arm and Elbow Locking

Crow is tough but I’m finally getting it. It took 3 sessions to get UP. Broke this vid up into 2 days. Seeing improvements.

Woohoo! Your tip with gazing more forward did the trick and I finally managed to balance in crow without crashpad and fear to fall! I am learning so much here! ❤️👌

Day 6 - Core Bracing and Pelvic Prep

When your practice runs deep, you can start to apply it to your life- to everyday living. #PeaceNBalance

Day 7 - Rest Day, Ujjayi and Diaphragmatic Breathing

Not sure how you do this stuff. Need it to slow down

Day 8 - Low back and Glute Strength

Day 9 - Side Body Strength and Obliques

I can do down dog to floating OK but find it much harder to do down dog and float to crow. A bit more direction would be helpful. I will be more patient!

Some alternatives for those really building our strength would be helpful :)
