week 7 and dealing with wrist pain
Posted: 05 Apr 2021, 22:39
Hello Natalie,
I started the 7 week course late January/ early February and today I did my 4th practice to video of week 7. Please help my gain some clarity on a few things.
1. Wrist pain. I am used to being sore in different parts of my body and I mean the type of pain that doesn't feel like 'gains'. You mentioned in the video for week 7 the positioning of the palms when pressure is shifted towards fingers. I was playing with it, and it makes the pain less noticable but I can't make it consistent.
Any advise on how to help it?
2. The second thing that frustrates me a lot is that I'm not able to hold free handstand as long as the recommended exercise requires. Not even close to have a little 'injection' of dopamine. For example, I can't achieve 3-5 seconds hold after a kick-up once per training session, I can't hold for 3 seconds at face to wall off-balancing exercise and 10 seconds when in L-shaped exercise.
Is the step-up on week 7 is too much for my level? Would you advise repeat another week 6?
or shall i just keep kicking-up and 'fight' for every second of balance?
You said in the video 7 that it's time to desing our own plan but I don't trust myself. If I knew how to achieve a handstand, I would have done it 2 years ago!
And overall massive thank you! I really hoped to be able to free-handstand by the end of the course and unfortunatelly I still can't but I progressed massively with your programme. This new awareness of my own body when being upside down and shoulders' strength feel amazing!
