Youve been squatting for a total of half an hour a day but how about... Standing 30 Min on your hands. Not in total, but in ONE GO? Weve been playing around with this Support Capacity Protocol lately with times ranging from 5-40 min. THIS IS NOT A HANDSTAND. Yes, we know. The intention is to induce adaptation in the overhead support pattern through a theoretical restriction of blood flow, localized fatigue, systematic build up of by-products and more. Why theoretical? Such specimens as Johnny are not the usual participants in research studies. They prefer Homer Simpson. This protocol is NOT for beginners - people without a 60 sec Freestanding Handstand should not attempt this. Guidelines are: 1. Nothing touches the wall besides feet (Observe closely) 2. Alternate arms on 1:1 ratio 3. Use intervals of 10-60 sec per arm 4. Shoot for a total time of 5-40 min 5. Perform twice weekly Inspiring to see Johnny doing this - its an IMMENSE effort that was originally inspired by a TV report on the National Chinese Gymnastics Team that performs this (only back to wall) for a duration of 20-40 min with sometimes up to 20kg added weight. Only in China? Nah, we can also try! Ido. idoportal facebook/portal.ido
