Man today is hot!
Hand balancing is free.
I have no fear about kicking into freestanding handstand attempts, apparently being upside down is a mental block for many…if I ever had that, wrestling in high school rid me of it.
Anyway, me being 280lbs I can’t let Bert Assirati and Doug Hepburn have all the fun.
545pm
I set a 15:00 timer, headphones on, one song playlist going in em.

Did a couple narrow bw squats, alternating raising a leg midway up to focus these closer to pistol squats, but really only did 4 or 6 total.
The session was truly handstand practice, though I attempted to handstand walk a couple of times after saving a wipeout once or twice had me nearly there.
My best was a better than ten second handstand. Possibly as long as fifteen or twenty seconds.
Once that’s solidly baked in it’ll be time to build to the freestanding hspu.
Again can’t let Bert Assirati and Doug Hepburn have all the fun.
I can see myself doing them.
On the floor, off the edge of a picnic table or park bench, maybe a handrail somewhere.
I can see myself doing them.
The solid handstand, the freestanding handstand pushup, the handstand walk – it all is close, and I can already tell the hand balancing floor work makes you gorilla strong.
Hand balancing is free.
Much of physical culture is like that ; available always, we are all we need…
