Balance of Power!!

[Nathan]

Hey Friends,

For the past week I have gotten pretty serious about hand balancing. I have been practicing quite a lot and have been studying John's "Balance of Power" book and it has helped me quite a bit. It has really helped me learn the proper form and has helped me develop the strength to hold a handstand.

Using the information that is in "Balance of Power" I have been able to hold my handstands for at least five seconds on almost every kick. But sometimes I get into that perfect state of balance and can hold it for over ten seconds ( my most I have held it for is eighteen seconds). I have also got to where I can dip down a little and go back up ( I am hoping I can get to where I can do a freestanding handstand push-ups).

Anyway thanks for taking the time to read this and I can't wait for ya'll to see John's "Balance of Power". It is the best book I have EVER seen on hand balancing. Especially how it not only teaching you the proper form of a handstand, giving you a series of hand balancing exercises to help you develop the strength and balance to get into and hold a handstand, and it is extremely well written and very easy to understand. All the best my friends.

Nathan,

Congratulations on your hand-balancing progress. Is "Balance of Power" available yet, or are you using a preview copy of it?

Hey Hank,

No. "Balance of Power" is not out yet. But when it is I am positive those of you that buy it will NOT be disappointed with it. All the best.

Thank You Nate,

I'm glad that you enjoy it. And your results are certainly impressive. I have had that book written for two years and have had it illustrated by Johnny Forystek. I've decided to release it in a ring binder edition due to the limited number of sales one could expect on such a specific topic. I will not release it as an e-book because it would then be "ripped off". Once again, thanks for the kind words.

I am really looking forward to this one! Hand balancing is one of those skills that all my life I considered simply beyond the ability of even above-average Joe's. I have known famous athletes that could do it and, of course, there were those amazing Olympic athletes. But, to think that I might be able to do something like that, well, I never seriously thought it possible. What a great goal for 2009, to be able to accomplish that which once seemed beyond rationale thought! Can't wait to get started.

Hey Nate, that's awesome! As you know I've been working on a handstand too, but I don't have a sneak peek of John's book, lucky dog! It's great to hear the progress you're making, as a matter of fact progress like this would probably be the kind of thing people would look for in the Positive Reinforcement forum :wink:
