All right, a quick update to include up to and just beyond our 2011 Gymkana Mockshow.
Tuesday:
That's a bit in the past now, but I remember the Gk practice started with about 90 minutes of handstand work on parallettes, then there was some rings and chairs work. Also, balancing practice with an invisible flyer, since Ingrid wasn't around. Can't forget that. I do forget the rest of the specifics though, but it was a good workout.
Wednesday:
Practice this evening was a test-run of our show, addressing things from almost purely an equipment standpoint. We only ran about half the acts, though that did include Ingrid/me for balancing, Chairs, and Ladders (my freebie act). No rings. The practice was mentally fatiguing since I'm sort of in charge of coordinating the equipment transitions this year. Resisted the urge to workout when I got home.
Thursday:
No practice. Fought the urge to work out.
Friday:
Mockshow! Whaaa'?! Performed in MXP, Chairs, Rings, and Ladders. Nailed them all, including the handstand and the elbow lever -> back lever on rings. Honestly, the rings HS could have been more solid (elbows felt pretty damn bent), but I stayed off the straps. Videos of this will be forthcoming.
After this, a midnight workout at home. Spent some time working on kettlebell get-ups for the first time in a while. Basically, someone sent me a link of some CrossFit/Kettlekook douche doing one, saying I could incorporate something like that in Ingrid's and my balancing routine. My response was I could pull it off with one hand tied behind my back, and sure enough, I could.
All right. After that nonsense, I got around to a real workout. One-arm HS practice w/ fingertips supporting. Ring supports, 3x(max) guesstimating >40s each. Ring PPPU 3x5, decent form/depth. Ring tows 3x6, standard style. Ring inverted pull-ups 3x5, short ROM. Active compressions and manna progressions. Some SMR for the hips. Good workout.
