Hi Charles,
Thank you for the suggestions. When I plateau I may reconsider using a belt.
Skill practice, all these done throughout day in singles or doubles:
Very slow pike press to headstand with head elevated on 6" of books, heel of hands 4" from crown of head. More head elevation is getting my arms straighter with the goal of stradde pressing with straight arms into a handstand. Great progress with these; a couple weeks ago I could barely do one from a head on floor headstand. Finally understanding how to move my midsection to make this happen and I'm even acquiring a bit of flexibility so my thighs are coming closer to my chest which makes the movement much easier. I'm no gymnast, but their strength and ability inspire me.
Tuck planche pushups on rings. Singles or doubles....keeping back horizontal to floor without falling off the rings is freaking hard.
Very slow straddle L-sits to horizontal elbow lever back to straddle L-sits.
Very slow no kip muscleups on rings. As I will be doing these from a partner's hands I am relearning the movement with zero kip and done very slowly. One quick move with a partner and I could hurt both of us badly. Time to learn about real strength and control.
Metcon:
AMRAP in 10 minutes = 4 rounds + 10 pullups and 6 sandbag shoulders
10 kipping pullups
5/5 62# sandbag shouldering from the ground (alternating shoulders each rep)
Down and back 50' broad jumps (had to jump at least my height each attempt or I had to redo the jump....cat toys are great distance markers)
