I’m kind of
running out of strength exercises to do with my knee injury. I decided to hit an old Globo-Gym exercise
incline dumbbell press. I thought it
would be weird since I haven’t pressed dumbells on a bench in six months. Also I haven’t done incline bench anything
probably even longer. I did my sets of 5
with 80lb dumbells. Didn’t really seem to lose strength on this exercise probably could have gone up to 85s but I
didn’t want to overload the shoulder joint.
Good to know that overall strength carries over to all kinds of
exercises.
For the afternoon
ring workout I worked on getting up and over the rings and transitioning from a
dip to a handstand. This is very awkward
and unstable, I got my legs extended a couple times but never was able to grab
the straps and fully extend. It became
increasingly more comfortable during the five sets so just something that will
take time. The skin the cats were good, I'm really starting to get my torso parallel to the ground. I took a still shot which is below I am
parallel but I would like to maintain a more neutral spinal position. I would come out of the skin the cat and try
and hold an l-sit, this part needs some more work. The front lever progression I would stick one
leg out at a time. These were pretty
ugly but it's a movement I have never tried before.
Pratice. Practice. Practice.
