Batwoman Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Of course you can play! And nope the challenge just started, I just refuse to use the ridiculous American date format Yeah. We still don't use the metric system in this country. I will never understand it... America and the metric system that is.

Mathieu *Gamer Unleashed* Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I just sing in Thanks elastigirl for the info I am at the wall assisted hand stand and can hold about 30 seconds for now. Get off the wall and hold longer are 2 of my goals for my challenge so this PVp is perfect Quote Mathieu *Gamer Unleashed*,Level 4 Hobit scoutSTR 8|DEX 5|STA 7|CON 6|WIS 7|CHA 4 Endomondo, Google+, Gamer unleashed's blog, famille-active's blog1rst challenge, 2nd challenge, 3rd challenge, Link to comment

Windcatcher Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I learned today that headstands are infinitely easier than hand stands. Had to prop myself up and walk up a wall before I could even do one of those. I have a lot of work to do for it, but I'm definitely willing to try Upper body training woo~ Quote L2 Human AssassinCon 3/Str 2/Wis 2/Dex 4/Int 2/Cha 1Current Challenge: PVP Challenge: 1Past Challenges: 1 Link to comment
TheArrow Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I successfully managed to hold a free standing hand stand for about 10 seconds before I went back to putting a foot back on the wall Quote Lvl 2 Human Vigilante (Ranger/Assassin Hybrid) Current Attributes: Strength (STR)- 2 Dexterity (DEX) - 3 Stamina (STA) -3 Constitution (CON) -2 Wisdom (WIS) -3 Charisma (CHA) -2 Current Challenge:http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/60461-the-arrow-back-from-the-dead/ Quote: Your Mind quits before Your Body ever will Link to comment

Gneiss Assasin Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I can hold a handstand with pretty nice form but only at most 4 seconds. I want to improve hold times, achieve at least a half pirouette, and continue my press work. Quote Novice Adventurer With My Sights Set On Allies Of An Assassin's Persuasion.

Harika Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I usually just stick with 6 Nov 2013, that allows me to use a sensible system without confusion. Additionally, if it is freezing out, it had better be 0 degrees outside, or whatever the kelvin would be. I may be a bit of a smartass.

quietmuse Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Sign me up! I can hold a "normal person" plank (as opposed to some kind of hardcore person plank) for a while...45-60 seconds? Feels like I may have wrist mobility work to do before I actually put much weight on my hands. My right wrist gets "angry" easily, particularly in the bent back/pushing position. Usually I do pushups on closed fists/straight wrists... Can I do a hand/fist-stand? :-) Shall I add myself to the spreadsheet and start makin' tracks, so to speak?

Cavilie Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 So I practiced handstands at gymnastics. I got a seemingly random 5 second free standing, but they are usually 1 sometimes 2 sec. I did a 48 sec wall handstand (kicked up to it). Hmmm.

You could get/make some parallettes though until you sorted out the mobility issues 5th, I added the row to the spreadsheet. Fine, I just started the challenge on the 6th because I'm slow.

Lindsey_M Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm in! I stuck my name in the spreadsheet too At present I can do a straight arm plank easily enough, and I've tried feet halfway up the wall once and got around 30 seconds. So looking forward to being upside down... Quote Link to comment
MaxCurtis Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I am so lost in nanowrimo-land that I just discovered this was a thing yesterday! Can I sign up a few days late? I can hold the plank position for 60 seconds and half-way up the wall (hands about 3.5 ft out) I can hold for 30 seconds. I haven't tried higher yet, still got some inversion fear going on. My brother dropped me on my head from an upside-down position on monkey bars once, so I blame him. I have positional vertigo, meaning that there are some crystals bouncing around my ear canal that cause me disorientation and dizziness. I have strategies to knock the damned things back into place, but I'm concerned frequent inversion could exacerbate the condition. In light of that, I'll be taking this challenge slowly and carefully!

MaxCurtis Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Haha, accident, he was just messing around. But it's one of those things I plan to hold over his head pretty much forever. It occasionally gets me extra hugs or free coffee.

Abtacha Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Note to myself (and anyone that's interested): Practicing handstands not a family activity!The kids were coming up to close while I was in the handstand. Now I'm all sore from yelling at them to get back. But...I definitely improved my holding times Quote - Abtacha -Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4"Conquer yourself and the world lies at your feet.""Take care of your body as if you were going to live forever, and take care of your soul as if you were going to die tomorrow."- Saint Ausgustine - Link to comment
Batwoman Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 My dog likes to sniff my face while I am practicing. It can be very distracting and cause the giggles. Quote I'm a time traveler, but I can only go one way and only a second at a time. Link to comment
Cavilie Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 My dogs really like to walk around my handstand area. "Go away, go away!' is all my husband can hear from the other room when I am practicing. And they love it when I do bodyweight stuff at home - they jump on me or lean on me or lick my face.... awful.

MaxCurtis Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 My dog mostly likes to roll under me when I'm doing planks. She also brings her rope and hits me in the face with it because she thinks it's playtime. Hard to hold a position when I'm flinching and laughing!
