Today's practice:
-about 5 minutes total of leopard+twisting bear+three point bridge at the end.
-then practiced lizard crawl for another 4-5ish rounds.
Thoughts on lizard crawl practice:
I am still baffled as to how these will ever not feel so hard. Four or five rounds of 6-ish steps (three per side) feels like I just did some heavy iron lifting or something. I am further baffled by how one does a backwards lizard crawl while remaining low to the ground. The coordination is something else.....
I imagine that I can increase the lizard crawl by just spending a lot more time "down in the gutter" (as Ido put it). I think what makes it so hard is the time under tension. It's nothing like repping out pushups where your muscles get rest at the top of the push. It's more of a long term tension. . .only you are trying to move at the same time. Just feeling what I have gotten a taste of tells me enough to know that if one could stay down there like that for multiple minutes, they would indeed be very strong.
