Rest

I was scheduled to do some polymetric stuff today, but I was really worn out from the shuttle sprints the other day.  The group class was doing some handstands and horizontal pull ups so I decided to do it with them just to play around. 

7 rounds
Max Handstand hold +
supine pull ups on rings (feel level with hands)

Score is total time in handstand.

I totaled 11:15 or something in handstands.  It was interesting and fun to play around with.  It seems like a lot of the "fun" and "play" has left the training in the last 2 years or so.  I need to do something about that.

The gym record of the day was Frank who held a handstand for 12:30 +/-
It was exciting until we found out that 5 and 7 year old gymnasts do 15 min straight on a weekly basis!  Or, sometimes for punishment, novice gymnasts, get sent to the wall for 5 min handstand holds at a time.  My head deflated after that.
