Challenges and accomplishments!

I was feeling down and out. I had lost my spirit, my motivation and ambition. I knew what to do. I knew I just had to push through it. Like I've done all the other times things got a little rough.
And then, out of nowhere I got my very first shoulder mount!

Watch the vid on my IG

I'm still in awe of myself. I can't believe that I'm actually able to do it. I've always admired all the ladies and gents who are able to do this. So much strength. So much practice and hard work put into it. And now me. Now it's my turn.
I must be honest and say, no, it's not a purebred deadlift, but I'm working towards that. My momentum is anyway pretty small and controlled, so I'll say that I'm able to do a controlled and safe shoulder mount and cross it off my list. Feels gooooood.

My other goals yet to reach for 2014 are

  • Crossed Ankle Release
  • Orion
  • Front splits
  • Ayesha
  • Superman to inside leghang drop
  • Knee hold
  • Free handstand
  • Free headstand
I'm being pretty strict on my goals. I can do a CAR, but I can't do it while feeling safe and comfortable, and therefore will not use it in a choreo. And therefore wont cross it of my list. I came pretty close to the front-splits today, tried out some different stretching-techniques, if they prove to be more effective I might make a post on that later.
