So tonight was a wonderful night in which Leon, Knoxfel, Spyder and I traveled up to Rockville, Maryland for training in a gymanstics facility. It'd been a long time for Leon and I, and the place had changed quite a bit. The nicest thing, really, is just seeing old friends again, some that I hadn't seen for over a year. My intention going to the gym was to work on my backflips. Some kind of mental fear returned, though, and I didn't manage to do a single one the entire time! However, I did work on a lot of other stuff, so I'm not too disappointed.
I did my normal run of things. A light warm-up, joint rotation, some hopping and jumping, with the more intense stuff after I was properly warmed. There was much vaulting and jumping and underbarring.. Balance work, control work, etc. I worked on my butterfly kick a lot and my b-twist a little.
Most importantly, I discovered I already have a 10-rep maximum on pull-ups, which means I'm set for adding weights. Just in time, really. I'll need to check the dips later. I also did a rope climb, which tired my fingers out severely, and at the end of it all, I was working on my handstands and trying to press. It may not sound like too much, but there were a LOT of random conditioning things thrown in as a test of muscular endurance, and everyone was super sore coming out of it. A VERY productive night, I think, if even not super structured. I'll definitely be feeling this one tomorrow.
