Week 3 Training + Twisted Ankle

Sad news: I've been out of practice for about 2 weeks due to personal injuries.

I got a fat charlie horse, which required me to rest for 2 days. Then twisted my ankle visiting some friends at their parkour gym 😭 It's been about 4 days of healing and I'm about 70% healed – can be slightly explosive, but easing into it.

So here's some past videos that I wanted to post:

TWO THINGS I LEARNED DURING KONG PRACTICE:

I'm feeling more fluid with double kongs — moved from 3-step take off to a 5-step take off to get more power and speed (I’d say last rep was best attempt)
I didn't increase my max konging and double konging distance just yet.

Maybe I'm still early in my practice. It could be that I'm running on gravel, but beyond that, I'm going to continue my practice.

NEW TIPS I LEARNED:

Reach my hands a bit farther on the table when doing kongs instead of at the beginning edge of the table
Keep my feet a bit closer when I jump into the kong vault

Reaching it out farther will allow me to smoothly use my momentum to land further in my kong vault. My feet are also far apart and I'm galloping into the jump, which kills my momentum in my kong.

I will work on keeping my closer feet together, like I'm jumping up for a jump shot or jumping up to spike a ball.
