Food mysteries, handstands

[flexagon]

Eating out (and at work) as much as I do is disorienting. What do I even eat, once breakfast is over? I know what to keep stocked for breakfast, coffee and late-night snacks, but I'd be lost for a while if I had to start buying groceries for all my meals again. I think of my dad and his wife buying food for an entire Alaskan winter, and I'm pretty impressed.

Also, here's me practicing a cartwheel handstand press off a plyo box, if anyone is interested. That was a few days ago; I got it off a lower box today.

yay side press! it looks like you could reach out even more with the right/leading leg, and you will definitely want to lean your shoulders away from the left/bottom leg especially as you start with that foot lower and lower. you want to shift as much weight as possible away from the bottom foot.

You're so right about the leg. I keep reaching UP with that leading leg, instead of straddle piking it and trying to reach it more sideways.

Nobody's ever told me to lean my shoulders sideways before. Fascinating, thank you! I'll definitely try both these things next time.
