No conditioning.
Technique:
1) Handstand 4 (ie. inside angel into split handstand), and spin out (grip pole with inside hand, swing outside leg backwards and push off with outer hand)
– i was falling/ sliding down a lot with my inside angel and usually found myself very close (too close) to the floor
– the handstand still feels weird and unstable
2) Cat ripple, straight legs parallel to but off the pole (candle legs), split dismount
– my candle legs were okay and split dismounts very solid, but my cat ripples were non-existent!
3) Aerial walk (push away with side of inside forearm. place forearm up to elbow along the pole and push away. outer / upper hand high on the pole. turn body away from the pole and push away with inside forearm)
– i was really struggling with this throughout.
– it was especially difficult at first because i didn’t get the placement of the inside forearm and elbow
– it was better later, but i struggled to do the aerial walk because I was struggling to turn my body sideways and out (away from the pole)
– my undergrip was surprisingly stable and solid (ie. wrist didn’t hurt), but couldn’t swivel my hips, especially not when my legs were higher
– i got really imbalanced when i tried to swivel my hips, and fell off
4) Superman
– I struggled to get this. i think i was too tired to really focus and make the effort.
