Woot! to the second line of the IM

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Jul 21 '22, 10:29

The version that fries my mind and scared me to no end is the version where one jumps laterally and basically just bounces back and forth across the box with a brief touch of feet at the top of the box.

I get the speed advantage but have zero confidence that I wouldn't kill myself in the attempt.

oh yeah, we did that once. Anything "gymnastic" is pretty challenging for me. I'm just now getting the hang of kip swings - oblique Jul 21, 10:31 5
- Ooooo...prep for toes to bar. Another movement that I never completed and always scaled. - JD Jul 21, 10:34 4
  - Took me almost a year just to be able to do a single pull up. I'm still only doing a few at a time. Our class work doesn't lend itself - oblique Jul 21, 10:37 3
    - If your schedule allows as well as work out space, I'd recommend a few minutes after class to focus on pull ups - JD Jul 21, 10:45 2
      - Thanks. Counter-intuitive but totally makes sense especially as I learned how much pull ups were back muscles and not arms. I'll see about giving - oblique Jul 21, 10:49 1
        
        8-) Though perhaps consider skipping the extra work before a workout that includes pull up type movements - JD Jul 21, 10:56
