April 16th-24th

Took a bit of a break from the iron cross this week, got to protect those elbows.  I went up to Lake Havasu for Ian Williams Arizona Advancement Jam and taught a little bit about falling safely if you do not make a jump. 

Started finding better drill for working my front lever and it feels much more satisfying then doing the typical tuck, open tuck, straddle, straight progression.  You just simply invert hold hollow and lower slowly until you have reached your maximum control range, hold for 5 seconds and then pull out of the lever back to invert.

I was originally working my double back and double full on the same day, for new skill development i have decided to not work on the both in the same day if I'm doing heavy repetition. 

I started working my one arm again and feel it is getting much stronger, also started working air baby.

Tried handstand on the rings for the first time, three basic drills for that.  1. Use the straps to assist by wrapping your legs when you feel ready let go and enjoy the ride (it is usually quite short) 2.  Have someone stabilize the rings and give you a slight assist so you aren't getting to much of a wobble.  3.  start at the bottom of a hand stand push up and contract as hard as you can trying to push up to handstand, you develop the strength and awareness both at once.

My Splits are coming along and I am still using three different methods for developing them I just switch week by week.

It's nice to know I haven't lost to much of my parkour skill since I have dived deeper into acro. 

Enjoy.

March 7-15th

I had a beastly week of feeling very accomplished with the training I have been doing.  A lot of personal things going on in my life on top of my usual training.  It just makes the time I have to train all the more valuable to me so I can relax and focus.  I got to seal the some of the wood at the parkour park and messed around with the scaffolding a bit, I also received a new toy everyone will be quite happy with.  Here is weeks vlog.

Still working on my splits, double fulls, double backs, and iron cross.

Week of April 1st to April 7th

The show was an amazing success, we got a standing ovation twice and I got lots of pictures "BIG SMILE."   Today I received my Copy of Flexibility Express, Thomas Kurz New DVD on Developing the Splits http://tomkurz.wordpress.com/  so yeah that's going to be awesome.   I started working my double full and double backs again and much to surprise my ability to do both have dramatically increased.   I am executing the skills from a round off.  The double full is traveling to the right a bit.  With each viewing of the video I take I make small corrections to help evolve the next attempt.  Started Planche work and Front Lever again.  I finally feel I have caught up to the strength I was before my horrible patella tendinitis accident.  My ankle is also much better as my depth squat has improved dramatically. Getting better at my head spins as well.  I receive the Scaffolding for the park on Wednesday I am so excited right now  Any way here is this weeks video and next weeks will be even better.  Oh by the way I have started a donation page through paypal for the park it is here https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/9Tzpf?fb_action_ids=10151565165269260&fb_action_types=fundrazr%253Astory_update&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582
