H2H and Handstands

Solo training today and feeling very good, physically and emotionally. Almost positive!LOL!!
Starting to get into the best shape I have been in in many mnay years. Kind of a wierd amalgam of gymnastics muscle density, bike racing cardio shape and powerlifting focus.

Work capacity is growing almost daily. Energy is at an all time high.And yet strength is the best its been in eons. Real strength. Everyday get out of bed strength.Not peaking strength. Useable stuff.

H2H
circuit:
around body pass/clockwise only
around leg pass
figure eights
26#x10 each easy
36#x8 each no problem
44#x6each tough. abit heavy on around leg circles.
26x20 Yes. this was good. lots of core work there.

superset each above with bosu ball stands/two feet
eyes closed
eyes closed and head moves side to side
eyes closed and head move up and down

Undergrip flips to alternate hand
26x10 each leg/left leg first
36x10 each leg
44x8 each leg solid
53x6 each leg. not bad at all. left leg is very strong. really found a rythym.

superset with bosu one foot stands
4 sets for 20-30 seconds. no tap offs. this much stronger now.I can fight for position without the knee moving.

DARC flips to alternate hand
36x20x2
44x20
53x16 Not bad at all.

superset with one foot stands EYES CLOSED
these were feeling so good I went for some eyes closed work and it was so much stronger'

left leg
3 sec/3 sec/4 sec/ 4 sec/3 sec/5 sec/6 sec!!! best before was a weak almost 3
right leg
4sec/4/sec/5sec/7 sec/ 10 seconds!! YES! it was very close but I got it./7 sec/ 9 sec.

this worked so well using the bosu as active recovery between kb sets. cant beleive the improvement

Handstands
7 sets, each taking three attemps to get all the way up to hold a 8-10 second handstand. was going to keep doing them until I made it on a first attempt but decided enough after the seventh miss.

superset with hangs from the powerrack feet off floor.
30 seconds each. to prepare shoulder for coming ring work.

datsit!
