No this is great! and the idea is to build a sequence together to practice over time and have fun with it, exactly.

 

But I'm a bit lost now. I follow you until table top, this is all good. Then you should have a right leg lift in table top (in the intro #6).

After table top, you added a left leg L-sit variation, plus the crow (or is a bent arm press variation? it looks like that to me - it was great in any case btw!). The rule is to add only one move. Correct me if I missed something of course! or maybe you thought the next move after table top was left L-sit, but it should be a right leg lift in table top. And now I have added the  dip.

Is it ok with you to wait for Norgaard and then do it again following the order that is in the intro + the new move by Norgaard? Sorry about that I think it's better to follow some ordering otherwise people do exactly that: work on a bit of sequence that is no longer up to date.

 

 

I probably got lost somewhere in there. Did you hear me at the beginning of the video saying the moves I was supposed to do? I figured I'd forget them. I had them written out, but it sort of ruins the flow to stop and look. It's like a memory test

 

I don't really know any of the paralette movements I just tried to do a crow on them, you can call it whatever.

 

On the order, I started thinking and then concerned that I might slow you guys down. If we do an order does someone have to wait until I've posted until they can post? You guys have already done several, and I'm probably not going to add any today. Maybe what I should do (if that's alright) is to just be a copycat. I will just watch, and try and do some of the sequences you guys have done, but not add anything to the mix. That way I won't be slowing you down, and you guys won't be confused by my random memory

[Norgaard]

Generally speaking frog and crow is the same. Frog is the gymnastic word and crow then yoga word.

 

basiclt in yoga: crow =bend arms like the frog

 

crane = straight arms (what you call the crow 

 

i agree it looks like the bottom

hold of a press which is more badass!

How about you give it a try first and we see what happens? Norgaard has to get one move in, and then you. So you don't have to resubmit today. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is totally fine. This is not a parallettes marathon

Well the barrier was set as one prnday. So I’m going to post one hopefully before work, so in around 9 hours time. And after that you will have 24  hours to post yours. We are killing ourself If we keep

in this pace anyway :D.

 

you can spectate and copy as well if you prefer that instead ofcause, but we would love to have you in

Dont worry. Each sport have different names for the same thing. As long as everyone agrees on the used terms

Yes exactly, it's quite long already if we keep this pace, March 11 will be Guiness record level

 

For the crow, I get confused between crow / frog / bent arm press. If you could help me to clarify the vocab

Crow for me would be with straight arms and bent knees around the elbows (below / above depending on variation) => planche progression
Some people might call it the low versus high frog though...


Frog for me is bent arms with knees resting on the arms

Bent arm press progression would be bent arms with a tuck (knees not resting anywhere)

 

@Elastigirl which one would be yours? since you have bent arms and your knees don't look like they are resting anywhere, I would say it's a bent arm press progression?

 

Maybe crow hold with bent arms is a progression? Not sure. I suddenly had this worry that I was doing crow pose all wrong. But when I looked it up  on GMB where I learned it, at least the first way it is taught is with bent arms, arms resting on elbows. So, I would call that a crow, but it is what you call a frog. You can call it whatever you think best. It also it kind of like a tuck too. . Not sure, like I said, I don't really do much on p-bars, so I was just sort of playing around. If it doesn't fit your criteria, you also just say you guys don't want it in your flow.

All right, I can keep up that pace. I was thinking you guys wanted to do several in a day, and I didn't want to kill myself.

I tried the move again, and I think it fit more in the variation of a press.Which is a tuck with left leg up  right leg on ground, and if you feel adventuresome you can lift both legs

Cool!

Ok, I put it up today.

Is it alright to just do the same move, but other side? I was thinking-sit Left would be good next?

Yeah if you feel

it makes sense. Some kinds of moves makes sense to do again for translations

Yes I agree with you guys, left/right variations are totally fine, and a good idea even, to get something balanced.

The diameter of the PVC tube is like 3.8 cm / 1.5 inch. Circumference is ~13.5cm.
I used a DIY tutorial for PVC parallettes, I can't remember which one though (something like this: https://www.kohlercreated.com/crossfit-home-gym-staple-diy-parallettes/)
I made the "feet" a bit longer to provide more support because they are higher.

Well, I just made the list with measurements, my father-in-law made them For assembly,  I think he went to a shop where they have a heat-base device to seal parts together.
