After years of smashing out fast rows, swims, or rows with little training and zero warm ups, my body had a meltdown and I slipped a disc last Summer. I've slowly improved my mobility since then, and finally got to the point this week that Pancake would be my end of year goal. So I love how timely this is!

Good job! Your honest approach is commendable. I'm currently experimenting with a contract/relax method, where you stretch, then contract for 5 seconds and relax into a deeper stretch for 5 seconds, then repeat. You contract the muscles you are stretching to teach your brain it's okay to relax them even more afterwards. I'm making better progress now with this than with just static and dynamic stretching, and it's easy enough to incorporate into CaliMove's mobility programs, or any other. 5 sets of 5 seconds, 3 to 4 times a week.

Dude, you are very impressive... Most exercise videos i watch i usually just feel i am not strong enough, or not training enough... But when I look at yours, i think I am not smart enough or dedicated enough... The amount of work you put on analysing everything, taking vidéos.. and working like 700 days on your handstand preparing that video is so impressive.. do you also have a full time job? That's impossible for me to just contemplate putting that kind of hours. I need to quit my job 😅
