Dufisthenics

I have a couple things going on health-wise that are steering me clear of doing anything involving really heavy weights.  I also missed yesterdays gym session (second miss this week) so I wound up just throwing various movements together.

Although I do a lot of wall handstand holds I have not done much if any practice of free standing handstands.  It doesn’t make sense because one of my long term goals has been to hold a nice controlled handstand.   I think I don’t like doing them because of the rampant amount of failure.  Plus I am less than graceful at times exiting a handstand although I can usually avoid the massively embarrassing and painful back flop.

I did hold one for maybe 2-3 seconds.  I need to get off the wall and just work more without a net.
