(For one thing, I forget to be afraid of that.) I had to ask myself what I was afraid of: falling? I realized in that moment that she was right: indirectly, she was saying I hadn’t really given it 100% effort. BK asked me to do it again without allowing the bend or dropping out of it and said, “I think you’re strong enough.” I’m assuming that, given sufficient strength and skill, you can eventually shin-slide all the way back around into a planche.Īnyway, the first time, I let my arms bend. It’s hard to explain what this is, but I’ll try: you get yourself into a hip hang/forward fold, then take hold of the bar from below, engage the hell out of all the things, and then-without bending your arms-slide your legs over the bar and then down the forward surface of the bar and eventually under it. I’m forced to admit that I actually look pretty ridiculously sexy hanging from a trapeze by one arm. I didn’t even know I could do them at all. Evidently, single-whatever hangs are a forté of mine: I did single-arm hangs, both sides, and they looked hella solid. It was just me (Trap 3 is a tiny group even when we’re all there), so BK and I focused on conditioning. I almost didn’t go, then realized that the real reason for not going is that I didn’t want to know how much ground I’d lost.Īs long as I keep thinking about it that way, I’ll only keep losing more ground.
