Mission Accomplished!

Had a busy few weeks with not many posts....so...... decided to take the plunge today and just do it.
Yep flag painted, flag done.

 A few days ahead of schedule but I`m calling it mission accomplished!

Does that make this the end of my journey?
 I wanted to prove to myself (and my girls) that given enough time and motivation you can accomplish pretty much everything.
Tick that box as done.
Can I do the human flag?
check that also.
Could I do it better?
 most definately.

So...where to from here.
 Well I`ve grown to love bodyweight exercises, I`ve discovered other cool exercises like elbow levers, muscle ups, and human flag push ups. That`s where I`m heading next.

First off,  I will continue the flag training to get to the point where I can hold it for an extended period, during which I`ll also work on the muscle up and levers.

 I also want to branch out into Parkour and get some free running moves down. Worth blogging about? Maybe.....
I don`t know how many people check out this blog but I find writing stuff down and throwing it out there helps define what I want to do and (even if only one person reads it) keeps me motivated to never give up.

So at this stage the blogging will continue, who knows maybe it`ll morph into a website on how the average guy can learn anything and reach any goal! (3 months ago I didn`t even have a facebook page! yet another great learning experience:)

Next post, for those interested, I will be putting up my top tips for the average bloke (or chick) to attain the human flag in under 3 months.

Thanks for sticking with me those that have, catch you next time!

Getting closer....

Happy New Year!
Kept up the training over the Christmas period though I`d have to admit that the intensity has been dialled down somewhat. Having said that...I`m getting closer.
Can actually get into the full flag position now. Just need to tweek it a bit. (torso up just a bit, arms and legs straighter and get the hold for longer than a second or so!)

Have found that I`m finding it easier with a pole hold as opposed to the parallel hold shown here, will get a pole pic sometime in the near future.

Also as promised here is the link to the book I have been using to progress to this point. It contains full details on each progression point from the clutch flag to the full human flag. (as well as other awesome exercise progressions such as grip training and the like)


Way Cool, check it out!
