see, pushups are a totally adequate form of pec work!
back handsprings are easier to learn than roundoffs because they're much simpler (no twisting), which is probably why they're starting you on them. i'm surprised you don't think they seem like fun. i think being about to do a standing back handspring would be ace.
yay straddle-up click!!
are you still not comfortable cartwheeling/twisting out of an overbalanced hs? if not it would be good to get someone to work with you on them there.
i found out i can do kicking headstand-to-handstand pushups from my head on a mid-level yoga block (on its long, narrow side) but not from my head on a low-level yoga block (on its long, wide side). also, failed attempts when my head lands back on the yoga block? not so comfy.
