hello.
i am not a silks artist. now, when i say that, i dont mean it in the whiny self-pitying way. rather, i recognize that is not my state of being at the present. i have to, or my expectations will... well, they'll kill me. metaphorically, anyhow.
i go to the gym and i get frustrated because i cannot do a straddle inversion. so i work for two hours straight on just that. and by the end, im shaking, and my arms give out as i try to do one last climb.
during muscle conditioning, i try and do the exercises for as long as i can, and breathe through the pain. but i know that pain, and its not the good kind. its the kind where my abs are so tired so they utilize my back muscles. bad form means that i'm actually benefitting less from the exercise than if i were to just take a break to... breathe.
yes, i want that straddle inversion. yes i want that back walkover. but comparing myself to people who have been doing it for years is probably not the best way to go about it.
