Felt great ! Apart from rolling my lats… kinda painful like it’s always really tight in there. Any other possibilities for those ?

Pyke compressions were fun 😊 nice stretches to finish off a great challenge!

Really starting to feel the skills developing although I have 0 body awareness so I can tell it’s going to take some time 😂

Amazing! Feeling sooooo good after that session

Tessy

W2/D2

Wall planks were definitely a shoulder burner!!! 😪 🔥 and when I was doing the kick ups my body naturally wanted to hold the handstand 😆 🧘🏼‍♀️

Sheri

Great engagement 👍🏽. My head is extremely sensitive to the floor when doing headstands so I implemented a headstand stool so my shoulders can support me instead of my skull and it was good! I also seen some slight progress in my handstand control so definitely looking forward to continuing. Thank you!

Sophia

Man, I know this  will pay off in the end.

Chris

Great strength, skill & endurance building foundations for handstands. Feeling stronger every time I do one of your workouts 👍💪👏

Great workout. I am losing the fear of being upside down and of aborting a handstand whn losing balance.

However,  there could be a few more details in the descriptions. Sometimes I don't know for how long to hold and what it actually meant by a "repetition".

I also need to work a little more on my flexibility but was able to do all the exercises if not as well executed. Not sure why at 55 I decided to learn how to handstand but it compliments my ashtanga yoga really well. 

I have definitely built more strength

With the box assisted tuck handstand, I couldn’t get my bent leg in the same angle as yours I think because of my mobility between the split of my legs. When I tried to match your bent leg’s angle, my straight leg would come in as opposed to being fully straight upwards. Not sure how to work on that?

It was helpful to constantly be practicing different handstand positions and drills. I also quickly noticed I need to still build my wrist resiliency. Thank you for the helpful drills. :)

This was a tough one. However, I am so proud that I could finish it.👊

The hardest part new routine wise is figuring out overhead shoulder shrugs/L stand shrugs, my brain was struggling to figure out what appears to be a simple movement lol 🥲

Hard! Hahaha would be nice if there were regressions

Incredible! I felt the enjoyable struggle and I loved the variety, the challenge and the areas I improved on through the weeks to get ready for this weeks exercises. It also showed where I still need to work on, but I am grateful for it. Thanks LittleT! ;)

W5/D2

I had to modify a decent amount of the sets but it was a great workout!

Abaigeal
