Norgaard Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 So this challenge will be more or less identical from last time, but with some small changes and improvements. Again is the goal to eventually eat pancakes with my feet, and then celebrate it in a pancake stretch. More info will maybe come not sure yet Lifestyle: G:1 Practice contact juggling 3 times pr week. for at least 10 minutes pr time. Fitness: G1: Daily handstand (at least 5 attempts pr day G2: Head2toe 5 times pr week G3: Pancake or hip opening (I found out that on the last challenge if I didn’t go to the gym I couldn’t do my pancake progression, so this time I will allow for hip opening poses as well at least 5 out of 7 days. G4: Rings 3 times pr week. W1: 3/3 Contact jugling: 7/7 Handstand 5/5 Pancake // Hip opening 3/3 Ring training W2: 3/3 Contact jugling: 6/7 Handstand 5/5 Pancake // Hip opening 3/3 Ring training W3 0/3 Contact jugling: 0/7 Handstand 0/5 Pancake // Hip opening 0/3 Ring training W4 0/3 Contact jugling: 0/7 Handstand 0/5 Pancake // Hip opening 0/3 Ring training Total: 3/12 Contact jugling: 7/28 Handstand 5/20 Pancake // Hip opening 3/12 Ring training 2 Quote Be like water my friend Link to comment

So, in terms of working down to that, do you do forward bends and gradually get closer to the floor? I'm super flexible in many respects but find for forward bends in yoga I have to put so many props in front of me and basically barely move. Quote Link to comment

Can you shoot me a picture of a forward fold and I might be able to trouble shoot it. - sometimes and often that you will think its due to tight calves and achilles since they chain with the hamstrings For me the biggest problem is a stiff lower back. so basically was I do right now is sitting in a straddled position on some weight plates (to get higher up) and then do active folding for reps down. 2 Quote Be like water my friend Link to comment
