This is how you learn new gymnastics tricks. Man I would have KILLED to have access to a pit like this back in the day.
195 x 1 x 11 , 20 kg swings 5 x 8/8, floor pushups 35, 25
Not great sleep and a bit sore ( no aspirin for last three days) so all in all it was a strong day . Just definitely not 'fresh' ...

Hell man that just looks FUN!
Seriously I kinda lurched when I saw him launch, like he was gunna faceplant. Then he hit the pit I was like ME NEXT!!
Cool cool cool.
This looks like my son's gym. He's still going strong, and I have him read your writings about gymnastics -- he loves seeing your perspective.
I just discovered this blog a couple of weeks ago and I really enjoy reading it. As a kid, I thought pits were a blast but when I was using a pit as an adult, I found it uncomfortable and somewhat dangerous (heavier bodies sink to the bottom much faster). But for kids it's just awesome. I'm looking forward to reading more gymnastics related items on your blog.
thanks leslie. hoep your son enjoys my ramblings.I will always have a very very special place in my heart for gymnastics.My first true athletic love.
