Unicycle I can ride around the track now, as well as ride a bit on the sidewalk and street (at night, less cars). My personal record distance in one go is about 200m. I need to relax more, weight off the pedals and on the seat, and keep the pelvis forward. I also need to …
It’s almost the end of the year, and just like every other end of year time, I’m busy at work. We did get a little lunch break, so I’ve been making a bit of progress on the unicycle. Reminders (to myself, the beginner): Weight (pelvis) forward and back straight Keep pedaling Flail arms, really Commit! …
A couple of weeks ago, I did a whole bunch of assisted muscleups with bands and varied the band resistance (assistance) in no particular order, just tried out a few things. Then I got really sick and felt pretty gross and even took a couple of days off work. Today, I’m back at it. I …
Well, I finally got a unicycle. Attempting to ride it and working on freemounting has really helped out with my general balance and my balance on a bike.
Something I was chasing on and off for a year or so is being able to do a muscle up. Losing about 30lbs of pure body fat in that time helped. Still, I have problems with the transition and false grip (too much pain). The kids’ gymnastics coach told me “really, it’s mostly technique” which …

Finally I did it. I borrowed the bike and changed the drivetrain to have a really low gear ratio. It didn’t take me long to get used to riding fixed. It’s definitely a lot more fun. The way I have it (and even with the transitional gearing of 44t/22t) it’s easier to ride up hills …
I thought I was doing something that felt similar to a front lever on rings last night and decided to check my progress this morning during a school drop off. You should always check your form by using a camera and / or a coach, buddy or trainer. It is humbling and terrifying and makes …
Regarding “diet” or nutrition: I used to think you could get by with just habits, that is, “good eating habits”, like refraining from eating “dirty / deadly dozen” type foods. I found that over the years, good habits are almost impossible to keep up without some sort of accountability. If this is something you are dealing …
Lots of ways to do this, lots of ways to integrate one into your everyday life. Sitting on a chair or a bench, waiting for something? L-sit on that. Examples: bench / chair L-sit floor L-sit horizontal bar L-sit parallel bars L-sit rings L-sit slackline L-sit. This one’s fun. First thing I tried when I …
