May 2008 Muscle Ups and Handstands
Progression on my muscle-ups and handstands is coming along. I’ve got about 5 consecutive muscle-ups now and I’m getting more and more comfortable going into a handstand and balancing (although I still can’t get my legs straight). I threw together a small video to show the to-date progress:
music in the video is by Kill Hannah - a Chicago band that’s somehow managed to stay out of the spotlight for years.

I’m rightfully impressed.

Wow, I’m impressed. I think the reason you are arching so much has to do with the core stability.

Thanks. I’ve spent an aweful long time working on handstands. Progress is extremely slow but steady. Yes -core stability is definitely a factor. It’s something that I’m working on. Having a solid core during a handstand is important.
