I took a quick break from planche practice to focus on opening up my shoulders during handstands. I’m no longer doing banana handstands which is great but now it looks like I’m overcompensating a bit the other way.

I swear that hold at the end feels twice as long when you’re doing it than it looks on video.

Started today with some straddle planche negatives on the parallettes.

On my way to a straddle planche. I’ll be grinding away at this negative until I get it. It feels close!

My handstands have been feeling better than ever so it’s time to get back on the planche grind. Full planche and front lever are my two big calisthenics goals for this year.
