New Years Resolutions

Hey guys, so have you resolved to learn new moves on the bar this year?

Here are some of my resolutions for 09, learn:

-OAP's / OAC's from a dead hang with no momentum

-perfect straddle planche

-no momentum front and back lever pulls

-iron cross

-flag

-any straight arm press to handstand

-increase static leg raise height

-one-leg glute ham raise (with non-working leg completely off the pad)

-one-leg one-arm ab-wheel

-one-leg one-arm pushup


I realize that this list is long but I like to have goals for all major movements so I can maintain balance. If I don't meet any of these goals but get closer to all of them I will still be very happy. For me most of the fun is in actually training, and progressing rather than the finish-line.

Oh and btw if I use any jargon that is unfamiliar to you guys, please ask me about it in the comments. I'm happy to clarify these esoteric terms, as I know that there are readers with differing levels of experience and different backgrounds (weightlifters, gymnasts, b-boys, bar masters, and calisthenic kings.)

  3. That is an awesome goal, I saw an interesting training method for that skill. Use a weight in the non-working hand, held above the head for counter-balance:
