@apmichael You bet I will!
@groo101 Here's a little highlight video from last week's Sunday show off.

@groo101 So... Nothing crazy impressive here... Just my usual "line work" involving a chest to wall handstand or two before moving onto other HS drills. There was a flurry of people walking in front of the camera during the recording that I thought looked cool:
@fromgenesistorevelation Much artistic. So bodyweight fit! But really, was someone there guarding your phone? I'm surprised it 1) didn't get kicked and 2) didn't get stolen. That was great body line too btw. 
@groo101 Let's see, on Friday I really didn't want to exercise, but made myself anyway. Turned out to be one of the best sessions I've had. Hit PR on bench (120), felt strong in my FL progression, and squatted 135 without my left knee caving inward.
Also my OHP and bench are now in the novice level on the ExRx charts!
Oh, and 2 weeks ago I got a 95 on my calc exam. I had an F in the class before that

@beverly24 All kinds of gains! Great job with your PRs and cleaning up your form. Can't wait to see videos of some of these down the road! Rest up and train hard, finals are over now, yeah?

@groo101 My first attempt at doing a Chest-to-Wall HS. I'm not sure how well the form is. Space is limited, so the video doesn't show everything, but my wrists are about 1 inch from the wall, and my toes were touching the wall for most of it.

@groo101 Thanks very much for the birthday wishes! The birthday was (and continues to be--it has been a birthday long weekend) awesome. The feats of strength did not exactly materialize in the way I anticipated because other activities (eating, drinking, family-time, etc.) got in the way a bit. But I did do a spontaneous, no warm up OAPU after breakfast on my birthday. I have a crappy video--the crappiness of which matches my crappy form--which I am now attempting to put into a form that is palatable to the inter webs (I am not super tech-savvy). I will post it later today.
Also, when goofing around I found out that I can do shrimp squats (no vid though), and that they are way easier for me than pistols. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.
Here is the video:

@wexcellent Nice work and Happy Belated.
@wexcellent You're very welcome brochacho! Keep on those shrimp squats if you're having trouble with the pistols, those are actually quite hard for some people, me included.
