Any Day Now...

Well, the much anticipated book by Coach Chris Sommer should arive at my house any day now... I am pretty excited, especially since my workouts have been, should I say, not up to par... I have been messing around with my rings as well as the mushroom. Although, I am frusterated with the mushroom because those dang circles are harder than they look. I think that my form is off and for some reason I'm having trouble maintaining even balance throughout the movement. One thing I know I am doing wrong is piking my hips. When I keep them straight I seem to generate too much speed and spin out of the 3rd hand position. I'll try to get a video up soon. I am reluctant to shoot one though, because I am not satisfied with my progress.


In other news my wife April and I found out the other day that our little surprise is a BOY!!!

...Who woulda figured?

Completed Mushroom

Finially! I finished building the mushroom. I am really pumped about how well it turned out. It supports my weight just fine. Take a look at the pics. Let me know what you think!

By the way... Gameday is at Vandy today... Who woulda thought...

Circles... not going so well...

Help me figure out what I am doing wrong. These things are much harder than I thought.

Leave me some feedback and help me identify the problem areas in my attempts. Thanks.

Too Good to be True!

I was brousing ebay the other day and came across a listing of a "lot" of assorted gymnastics equipment. Long story short, I placed a bid, won and now am the proud new owner of a pommel horse and two sets of parallel bars. The beauty of it is I only spent $135.18! Now my only problem is that there is no longer any room in the garage to park. Needless to say my wife isn't as excited as I am. Here are some pictures of the new equipment. I left one set of p-bars out because well, I haven't got the room for them. If any one is interested in purchasing them let me know!
