Sunday Show Off - Bodyweight + Bodyweight Edition

@jenkins33 Congrats! To work on the transition, I made this video that will help you. Just use the ladder on the wall there to prop your feet up behind you. (You could do it slowly to really build some confidence in it.)

@davecb I started bodyweight training. Did the beginner routine for the first time on Friday. Today, I was in pain and really didn't want to, but did it all the way through anyway.

@davecb I did my first pull-up last wednesday! I got access to an iron gym pull-up bar and I tried one from standing, was able to get my nose just under the bar. Was very surprised.

@honoluluwindow Keep at it. 5 months ago I could barely do a pull up. Now I can crank out 10 with ease.

@davecb I did my first muscle up EVER on rings at an open gym night at a gymnastics gym here in San Diego.
Did my second muscle up the next morning when I started chatting with some guy at the bar park. Instructed him and his wife on handstands.

Found real stillness in my handstands on friday and held for a solid 30-40 seconds. I expect to see REAL progress in handstands and im very excited about it.

@davecb Holy smokes, /@commissioned2encourageu -- I want to look like that, man. Unfortunately I look like a potato with legs. So the question is, did you do that with purely bodyweight fitness? (Obviously diet is a big part but without weights, cuz there had to be some weights or machines or something right?)

@davecb i guess i might as well post even though i just started last week.

when i started i was barely able to do the bodyline drills, but now i am fairly stable if not completely comfortable

i have been struggling to find a place to do most of these excercises since i don't live by myself, and most of the furniture in this house is meant for decoration rather than rows. today i did my workout completely in the park which was a little weird, but also fun.

when i started, i couldn't hold a supported handstand for 60 seconds, now i can. also i can now support myself with two hands for 60 seconds.

only a week in and i am already seeing huge progress, so i am excited for what is to come in the next months.
