You can flag pole properly?
Thats pretty sweet.
I imagine for a fairly adept gymnast/bodyweight exerciser, the majority of the stuff on the site is nothing new... but for a lifter sap like me, these bodyweight feats are a might impressive.
I've just spent the last two hours feverishly trying to one arm push-up. I started by off-setting my arms (one resting on a raised surface) to put more emphasis on either side with good sucess. Doing maybe a 5 set of those seems comparable to a hefty dumbell press.
As for L-sits, I already have the tricep strength and most of the abdominal strength to get into the hold for a few seconds, but I can't get onto my fingertips.
Obviously I've been trying fingertip push-ups (tough) and I can see how easy it would be to pop a finger out if you really went for it, so I'm stuck doing a couple at a time.
I think it'll be some time before I can go up on my tips.
Other than that, the strength for the one handed pull seems to be there, I just can't keep my grip long enough to complete a rep... I think I'll try and pinch some plates.
As for impressing people... that has a lot to do with my motivation, but there is also an element of self-challenge in there. Mostly I want to be able to walk on my hands or waddle around the house in an L-sit like some kind of psycho parapleigic.
