First Attempt at Wall Handstands

Today's workout began with Eischen's Yoga for Beginners.  I noticed that my muscles were slightly shaky.  I have a feeling this is because I was maintaining stricter form.

I then began my first attempt at gymnastics skills training.  Today's skills included Wall Handstands (Wall HS), Tuck L-Sit, Bar Pullups, Regular Pushups, and Parallel Bar Dips (PB Dips).  I am using the gymnastics progressions outlined in Steven Low's book "Overcoming Gravity".  This is an excellent and thorough reference for gymnastic and bodyweight strength training.

For the Wall HS, I kicked up to position with my back to the wall.  I maintained the position for 2 sets of 40 seconds (2 x 40s).  I was able to maintain broken intervals of unsupported HS for 2 to 4 seconds at a time.

Summary:

Wall HS (2 x 40s)
Tuck L-Sit (3 x 12s)
Bar Pullups (3 x 10,7,5)
Regular Pushups (3 x 23,13,10)
PB Dips (3 x 5)

For the fitness training portion of the workout, I did a monkey bar gym workout.  It consisted of AMAP rounds in 20 minutes of the following:

20 D-Ball Slams (24 lb D-Ball)
20 Sitouts
20 Box Jumps (5 gal Homer Bucket)
100 reps Jump Rope

My results are as follows:
2 sets + 20 D-Ball Slams + 6 Sitouts

The MBG workout was intense.  I had to take a 5 min break (clock still running) in the middle of the workout due to chest pain and achy jaw.

Overall, I felt like the workout ran a bit long.  I think I will only be able to work a couple of gymnastics skills a time at each workout.  I will choose my weakest progressions to work on from week to week.  Next workout, I plan to work Wall HS, Tuck L-Sit, Ring Dip Support Holds, and Rings Feldge Skills.  That might still be a lot, but I need to determine what my weaknesses are before I can concentrate my efforts on them.
