I was “playing” at the park yesterday with my friend. Great to always have a camera on hand.
Here I was able to hold my first back lever with legs straight but also together.
Check off one major goal for this year!
Compare this to my earlier straddle back levers.
The crazy thing is I haven’t even been working on this skill lately. I have been working towards one arm pullups and a number of exercises with the Power Wheel to strength the abs. I guess those two things are carrying over. I also noticed I was better at various front lever progressions we worked on.
I also think that it may have been a little easier on these monkey bars, over the rings that I’ve normally done them on. But then I did another back lever, possibly even better then this one, on some rings they had there a little later. Sorry, no video of this one but I will have lots more from the park in coming weeks and months.
