Gym training this weekend!

Unlike the last time I was there I fully plan to remain focused and drill certain movements. Far to often when I go to the gym, I do so many different things that I get better at none of them. I'm going to try very hard to buvkle down and become familiar with moves that I can perform outside of the gym so my training isn't wasted.

I want to work on aerials and sideflips as a high priority followed by round offs, back handsprings, and gainers. Aerials are basically cartwheels with no hands that rely on rotational momentum generated by a kicking leg. Sideflips are how they sound, a fully tucked flip over a sideways axis. Gainers are backflips thrown while moving forward.

I have the power and understanding required to do these techniques, but I lack the confidence to try them outside. I am thoroughly excited to train at the gym again this weekend because for me, it is a huge release.

Unfortunately, all the mats and soft floors won't stop my from crashing back to reality when I get back and have piles and piles of work to do. Such is life.

In non-parkour related news: my Computer Science project is immensely tough. I work in a team that is working with a group of higher level students. We are basically helping to build and implement part of their system, and I feel way over my head.

In fact, everything I've done in that class has been incredibly difficult for me. I'm not really sure why it's so hard though. Maybe it has something to do with the material being taught terribly first semester.

Anyway, those are my pleasures and frustrations.
