I'm in!!! 😀 As if the phrase "I worked hard almost every day for three years to get where I am now" wasn't already on replay in my head from Pure Splits…
-
thanks for the tips everyone!
@cupcake11 – haha don't worry, I won't! i hate glitter anyway – it gets all over the place and it never goes away! ;b
-
that was my first thought, except that it will make the garage extra cold… but I think my mom probably has a space heater that might help with that – not sure though.
-
Thanks! I'll try that! Inexpensive is good. 🙂
-
@lengo83 – what programs did you use to copy the dvd and edit it on your computer? I've been wanting to personalize the routine myself for a long time because there are certain stretches I just can't do yet that I'd like to cut out until I'm more flexible, and it's a pain to fast-forward…
-
that's really helpful, thank you!!! 😀
-
@rosemay – how often were you using the dvd, and did you alter the routine at all? did you do any other stretching besides the dvd routine?
-
wow, thank you for all of the responses! i appreciate the insight, and it's really inspiring to hear about all of the different things you all do. 😀
-
i think that's it! thanks! 🙂
-
I know this is probably going to be different for everyone, but how painful was this drop for you to learn?
-
nevermind I see Aly77 just posted the same one I did!

I love the lighting in this one and how it tells a story: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f36OWBfiby4&list=FL5PM1t28sq000H6d5N0V3Pw&index=51

thanks for the responses!
@Charley – what does ETED stand for? I tried googling it and got a lot of stuff in Spanish but couldn't find anything related to certification
-
Wow I'm dumb. I had watched the video while I was doing other things and missed the fact that they were different (I'd assumed the elbow stand was a variation of the headstand and didn't notice that it had it's own name). Thanks!
-
wait – I thought the forearm stand and the elbow stand were the same thing?
-
i commented on the forum too 🙂
-
AGREED. I thought exactly the same thing! There should be an option for active stretching. Or for stretching for flexibility vs. maintaining.
-
woohoo! i like this Fitocracy site 🙂 everyone follow me and I'll follow you too!

Okay…so in looking for examples of a deadlift in action, I found this one of Felix Cane (super bendy!) and she does a lift at 1:57 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5G1jRJo9ek&list=FL5PM1t28sq000H6d5N0V3Pw&index=72. She starts out closer to the pole with her hands wraped around the base, but her biceps do not appear to be parallel with the pole as she lifts her legs – so I guess my question is, is this also still improper form, and does it really matter if they're not exactly parallel during the lift as long as you take the weight off your head and align everything once your legs are up? Is there a danger in this?
-
Can someone check out my form? I just uploaded a video to my profile ("elbow stand deadlift?") and I'm not sure if I'm having the same problem.
I wrote this in the description but I'll copy it here:
Am I doing this right? Should my elbows be directly underneath my shoulders (bent at a 90 degree angle) while I lift up? They look like they're too bent to me and I thought that might mean that my weight is too far behind me and I'm falling into the pole, but my legs are already up before my back actually hits the pole and my hips appear to be stacked, so I'm not sure…
-
thanks amy! i'll try that 😀

I'd love an invite if you have any left! my email is hollysatine@gmail.com 🙂

i agree with polefairy – "liking" a comment is so easy I feel like it might replace commenting in certain places, and i know if you're on the receiving end it's much nicer to get a nice compliment 🙂
-
just nailed it by the way – your video was really helpful! thanks Veena!
-
yes! thanks so much!!! 😀
