Many of our students found out yesterday that the idea of simply moving your own bodyweight on the floor, on parallel bars and on rings can be extremely challenging... and for some, more challenging movements, next to impossible. And this is for movements that gymnasts aren't even rated on in competition! How do you get better at doing these things? Practice, practice, practice and then practice some more.

I understand now why we were not permitted to swear during the seminar. We had to leave some vocabulary to describe how we feel today. For example, "holy fuck, I am sore in places I never knew I had," or, "sweet shit, Roger didn't act like he was a sadist," or simply, "Balls!"

Ditto!

Thanks to Roger for a great seminar! I felt like a little kid. A little kid who is a total spaz.

That was so much fun. What a great group.

I am hurting in weird spots on my hands and feet, and I didn't even do half as much as everyone else!

Also my envy for people like Zeb and Traver and Stanwyck who learn things way too quickly has required some swear words as well.

Great seminar! Got my money's worth after the first 3 hours, then it kept going and going.
Special thanks to Janine for showing us what real movements are supposed to look like.

My entire neck hurts. But awesome seminar. Roger is incredible.

Spencer, I'm lol over here as I share the same sentiment. I didn't even know my neck could be this sore! Thanks to all at Petranek and especially Roger for a great day. Had an absolute blast. Cheers!

I second the neck thing. Dear lord.
