Loved the finisher and the overall increased sets and reps. Still figuring out the forearm pull-ups. Substituting in chin-ups, lateral band arm raises, and/or banded lat pull-downs instead for that one series. Any other guidance in the notes for the forearm pull-ups would be very helpful. Thank you.

I feel like there wasn’t enough preparation for me to be able to do bridge push-up (especially as a finisher move) and I do not really understand the purpose of the forearm pull-ups 😅

Dips

This basic drill will be very helpful on your handstand journey. The Back-to-Wall HS will allow you to accumulate more time on your hands to build strength & awareness.

•Plant your hands and kick up with a split entry.

•The key is timing - shift your weight forward to stack your shoulders over wrists + lift the back leg (gently push off the ground with the bent leg)

•Hold the handstand against the wall for support while your adjust your shape - hollow body. Open your shoulders, scoop your pelvis, and drop your ribcage.

•Build strength by press your upper back to the wall and pressing back.

•It’s highly recommended that you film some of your practice so you can see your alignment from a 3rd person perspective.

*Hold for the prescribed time and exit with control.

Great workout! Had to do some modifications. 4 min stretches seemed too long though.

Great work out. However, round 3 I think, are we supposed to do 2 sets of bridges?

Started in my usual way, but then added music to the workout and that transformed the moves into more expressive movement patterns and explored some different shapes within the sets.. super enjoyable!

BS [PHASE 2] Week 2 / Day 2: Lower Body

Enjoyed that, I've got spaghetti for legs now 🤣

Great cardio from the plyo and the supersets and squat series were sneaky-challenging and fun.

BS [PHASE 2] Week 2 / Day 4: Lower Body

Great workout. Sadly the offline download works only for half the exercises, and the next exercise tap is almost impossible to find...
