Creative Movement Class
A bunch of movement stuff (including rolls, cartwheels, carries, etc.).
Stayed for ~20 mins after class to procrastinate with gymnastics stuff. Landed my first couple of semi-legit front flips. Still having trouble with the backflip. Held a handstand for 10+ seconds.

+ a few 10 m sprints
Front/back flips is something I've been sort-of working on and off for a while now ("on and off", as in: I'll do 15-20 mins of work for two days close together, then not do anything for another month or two, then do 3-4 attempts at some other random day and so on). Landed these on a mat placed in the foam pit, so not exactly the same as landing them on solid ground (will need to work on them before attempting to land them on the ground). With the back flips, still always do them on top of a mat in the foam pit and for the life of me I can't get any sort of elevation jumping off of that thing (when I attempt to jump, the mat and foam things just compress under me) but I'm too much of a pussy to try them on normal ground. The 10+ second handstand was probably the longest I've ever held a handstand. Healthy knees and shoulders ftw!
Other than that, it was the first day since the gym meet that my CNS felt sort of ok during training. Power cleans were ok; form on the second 90 kg rep was pretty decent (up to now, when getting near 90 kg form tended to turn to shit). Squats were slowish, but felt much better than on Monday. Looking forward to doing some heavy work; very curious to see how my previous rep maxes will feel once I work back up to them.
Flip attempts (including a front flip fail where I landed right on my ass):
Also, here is a pic I took tonight:
