Limitations


Do you really have any?

Found a post with this exact title on the CrossFit North Santa Cruz Blog and the vid just blew me away.

Check out 'Lazylegs' hand-spin to pushup to planche move at 7:15 - Crazy strong!!!

New 2-5 Year Goal: Planche pushups and beyond.

I've always considered myself probably too tall/long levered to ever manage these more spectacular gymnastic moves ... but after seeing these guys I have NO excuses!!

Truly inspirational stuff.

of course they can

... doesn't seem to be many vids of grown up girls doing planches though (but surely if you can do it when you're 8 you can do it better when you're 20 odd eh?)

These guys used their disability to their advantage. Made a strength out of a weakness. Bravo!
