milythael Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Since August, 2012, at least, I've been stuck at 90 seconds for my max duration wall handstand as evidenced by my first ever NF video on my channel: I haven't focused exclusively on my handstands so I've tried not to let it disappoint me, but I've always been convinced I had more time in the tank. Today, I made a deal with a friend that for every time I thank her, I have to do 30 seconds of handstand. I really wanted to thank her for something, several somethings, so I did a handstand. As 47 seconds rolled around, I was getting nervous. I felt pretty good, but 90 was a huge psychological barrier. 72 and I really started to think it was finally time. At 85 seconds, my shoulders really started to shake and ache. After all, I did do handstands yesterday as part of my impromptu wod. Watching 90 roll by was earth shattering, and you could really tell in how much my arms were quivering. At 1:38 seconds, I finally caved to the burn. One second for every month I was stuck. You better believe I'll take it.
