Finally, after a whole month of messing around and doing light stuff*, we have gone back on track.

Exhausted ourselves to death. (Fuck Yeah!)

~Stretching (20mins or so)
~Messing around, checking where the body is at, because it's been a while! (about 30-40mins, several vaults, wallclimbs, finally getting a feel of flow practise.)
~45 catleaps, 40 situps (10 c/t 10 s/u x3, 15 c/t 15 s/u)
~
30 knee-to-chest jumps/30 landings/20 pushups (15 k/t/c 15 l 10 p/u x2)
~10 pullups/2 one armed pullups
~
Several rolls, probably upto 20-30.

Definitly a worth it session, organised & intense, it's been a while and this session was the proof that we're still going to stay at it.

Tried some catbalances, but was too tired by then. Will definitly include in next session. Tone+Balance.

>Knees went a bit weak after the catleaps, and halfway through the k/t/c > l, minor discomfort started to be noticed. Must do more lower-body conditioning to protect knees (lunges etc.)

>Been doing alot of quadripedal running around at home.

>Split foot takeoff Kongs seem to be working pretty good, but I need to take a video so I see if i'm doing it 100% correctly.

>Need to keep at the roll, sometimes it's fine, sometimes I almost break my shoulder.. i'll try how Tyson Cecka does them. (Skipping the shoulder, and using right the muscle under it on the wing, my shoulder is too boney I think.)

About 3-4 sessions of light parkour training (July), involving usual stretching of about 20-30mins, mostly light vaults, wall climbs, and a good number of rolls. (Helped to improve alot.) Did some lower-body conditioning, but it was proper minimum. (One-legged/Stairs, Lunges) Vaults & Cat Balances and other stuff on low-height obstacles. Helped alot for my technique.
