I trained with my coach for 1.5 years, and this experience helped me break free from a rut and rediscover the joy of movement while rebuilding my strength. My initial goals were to achieve a handstand and a pull-up, and I have become quite proficient in both. This progress unfolded naturally through consistent training. When we began, I struggled with an old wrist injury, but my coach made accommodations that improved my condition while helping me reach my handstand goal. During our sessions, we also focused on relieving chronic neck tension and strengthening my body, even addressing a hamstring issue towards the end. Sharing insights with him was enlightening due to his deep understanding of body mechanics and training. Thank you for contributing to my mobility and freedom!
