Got the bar variant 3 years ago. Time to try the ring variant of the pull over. Underestimated how much shoulder strength is needed for 360° rotation. Need stronger shoulders sans mass (or won’t make it through the straps)

gave up gift-wrap 3 years ago in favor of the 🇯🇵 style of cloth or #furoshiki - to reduce waste. Cloth can be returned or reused.
Wrapping using only folds knots is HARD and this is my best try so had to take a pic to flex 🤣
Friends expecting baby boy.
Gift is artisan incense.

a hack helping with transition practice from #frontlever > #invertedhang > #backlever using a band. Despite using the lightest band, 2X looping created too much tension vs body weight, preventing full range of motion. 💡 Ankle weights. 😉

Learning the ring roll. Challenging part - getting a feel for momentum needed to maintain a midair roll without losing height - requires solid bodyweight awareness.
2nd part of the movement (muscle up) still in progress.

The ring rollover consists of a roll into a muscle up. My struggle with this move is the arm strength required to maintain a false grip through the roll so breaking it up into 2 steps to start - the roll, and the muscle up.

Trying out a challenge I found on IG - a short lower body #mobility routine at the bottom of a #squatclean . Don’t normally practice this so chose a lighter load in case of falling. Unlike the guy beside me who is hoisting my bodyweight.
