Hard training

Today was an awsome day in many ways..

I had a good 2 hour session in the gymnastics hall today. Got to train alot of stuff. I worked some more on my round off back flick. I trained some backflips, and also realized I could train cat leaps in there. I dont have any natural obstacles to train cat leaps on here where I live. So that was good. I have hardly trained that before. Was good to work on that.

All in all, it was a good day. My mental barriers are slowly falling down, when it comes to backflips and stuff like that. Now it comes down to technique. I still need alot more height in my backflips. I have a tendency to jump a little backwards, instead of straight up. Working on that.

And my back flicks got better when I put my arms closer together, and my legs more together. Not shown in the clip tho.

As you can see, I filmed some of what I did in the gym today. Just a few minutes of my 2 hours in there. But gives you and idea of what and how I trained today.

I also realized I dont really have any program or routine for indoor parkour training like that. So next time im in there, im going to make some sort of scheme for how im going to train. Right now, I just randomly do stuff I feel I want to improve in, and that I think is fun. Gotta get more strutcture on my training. Just like I have when im in the gym lifting weights.

Rule number one, is ofcourse to listen to my body, and train what my body tells me I need to train. Focus on my weakest aspects.

One goal I have after today wich I didnt manage to do today, is to manage atleast one clean muscleup. I did manage a sloppy half hearted one.. But it dont count. I have no problem doing pullups, nor doing dips. But its that transisition, from the pullup, to the dip position that I just cant do. I guess I need to work my shoulders and chest muscles more for that one. I aim to be able to do a muscleup by the beginning of january. Thats my current goal atleast.

We will see how it goes. Now its sleep time for me!
