Success, and a fail 😆
@Zara Doering has me inspired to work on my shoulderstands without resting my shoulders in the bar. So this was a good effort. And I pushed far enough to discover that the balance point for stacking my hips is my wrists NOT my shoulders. At least I didn't kick my toe this time.

I tried again after my visit to the spa this morning, and tried clamping my elbows more to support myself and had a bit more success. I used a crashpad for my face this time though

@Brandon Beauchesne-Hebert actually felt pretty good compared with my others. I need to really think about squeezing my arms into my sides to feel stable and think about being tense through the legs so they're not all loose and destabilise me. Little tweaks that make a big difference
Ab wheel rollout
It's the third time I try to do this exercise. I've just recorded twice in sequence: - 3 reps - 5 reps attempts (do not consider the last 2reps as my triceps hurted like hell and I gave up..🥵🤣 What am I missing or need to fix?🤔

I set my feet up against a wall. I've only just recently started doing them off the wall, because it makes it harder
Headstand
As right now I'm having fun with some exercises before I go out, I tried headstand..... It's not 100% but I could hold more than the last time.

Great control 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Have you tried using the pad under your head, but NOT under your hands? A firmer base can be easier to balance on. But seems like you're getting balance even with the extra squish to compensate for
Gym training
Not calisthenics, but I still do a version of push pull hinge squat accessory skill three times a week in the gym. Making sure I review footage as I go as per Brandon's tip, to make little tweaks in real time. Pin squats; because being hypermobile means no stop point at the bottom, so working on control before I go deeper again. Shoulders opening for handstands, and getting better depth in dips using the assistance, and why do my traps take over in every exercise?

@Zara Doering I'm hoping the more I learn to control my scapula, the less I'll hunch and use them for everything. I avoid all exercise that target traps because they don't need encouragement. No shrugs.

@Brandon Beauchesne-Hebert Saturdays I can usually drag him along😆
Hanuman Dand February Flow
@Ajay S introduced me to this Hanuman Dand move, so I worked it into a flow for my warm up this morning. It's a dynamic down dog lizard, press up to up dog combo. added some corkscrew, three leg dog, splits, side crow and figure 4 crow. Nice and warm for the gym.

@Brandon Beauchesne-Hebert I think just a general warm up. Being an early morning gym person means I often start not long after I've woken and only do a warm up set of each exercise to get going. Bench and deadlift both felt really good, but they aren't limited by hips.
