Greetings everyone! Today was just a planche training day. I started working on the Tuck Planche (It is described in an earlier post in my blog-November 16th Post). I was honestly afraid of “failure.” The good news is that I can ACTUALLY HOLD MYSELF UP IN THE AIR! The bad news is that I can hold myself up for about 6 seconds at a time. Actually, the training that I’m following says that this is “normal.”  It was a strange sensation and required a lot of arm strength and after a few times my arms were shot. I also continue to include frog stands (this might account for some of the exhaustion). I decided to do the training on tomorrow as well. I need to build up more strength and endurance!

It is raining like crazy here so no progress pictures yet. I also have to do more to secure my pull-up bar in place so no pull-ups, etc. until Tuesday.

Now that the initial fear of not having enough strength to hold the tuck planche is over, I’m determined to do what I need to do to master the position.When I’m able to hold it for 30 seconds, I will post a picture. Wish me luck!

Have a great week everyone! Let’s get after it!

Here’s what I did today:
