Trembriele Battles the Free Magic

[Trembriele]

I haven't been posting a lot of anecdotal info - but the end of the school year is coming and I should recover my mojo soon. I'm very pleased with the pull-up progression progress; I've made it further than I've made it before. I'm also making progress with crow.

I've gained some weight back. My waist is thinner, but I have more ass and quad than I did before. There's more definition in my arms, too.

I took a 4 day rest partially due to the fact that I was due for one, and partially because the last week of the school year is just so overwhelming and tiring that's I find it hard to get much done outside of work. Today's workout was good and I think the rest did me good.

Thanks! I let a lot of other things slide, but I'm still tracking workouts and making progress.

After being so sad all the times I had to deload my pull-up progression, I hit a milestone today! I made the transition from a half-up chin-up to a full chin-up. I'm not near a pull-up yet, but it's progress and I'll take it! The plan is after the chin-up, I'll move to half-up pull-up and then full on pull-ups.

I started a new level on my hand-stand push-up progression today and struggle with the closer proximity to the wall. I had trouble getting up and feeling like I had my balance once I was up. I wound up kicking up like I did for the waist bent ones and walking my hands in. I wound up with my hands about 10 inches from the wall, but couldn't get closer without feeling like I was going to really fall over. On one set I attempted to kick up facing away from the wall but didn't have the core strength of balance to pull it off. I'll get to that point eventually if I keep going with all my other work, and I think that the more I work this progression the more comfortable I'll be getting up and holding it.

After being really frustrated not being able to progress on the crow, I made the decision to move to an elbow lever progression. Even if I need to go back to crow at some point, it's useless to work on something I'm not making progress with.
