About 16s 💪🏾 today marks exactly 8 months since I started calisthenics too! When I first Started in February I told myself I'll have it unlocked by December but I got it way earlier than that. I guess my new goal for December is handstand and eventually HSPU 🫶🏾
Look I really appreciate the concern u/SnackbarBeastie and u/Unfrtlyanapolloowner showed in my last post.

Just wanted to share what the inside looked like after being on the rain for so long.
This was a rare occasion where I had to ride in the rain for work because my car was unavailable. I do not do this on the regular like some people would like to believe...
Let's go!!! I've always wanted to unlock the handstand practically since I started my journey Feb this year. I saw no progress except for longer wall HS duration.
Last night while training I got a clean 4 second one for the first time ever on my first attempt of the day but when I went to check out the phone it wasn't recording. I woke up today and felt like giving it another go and bam on my second try I get a good hold!
If only my attempts could stay consistent tho all the attempts afterward were like one second. I've been building the strength for hspu but can't hold a handstand consistently. I'm excited to see where this leads😁😁
I'm I the only one who feels bad when leaving my scooter outside in the rain?.... There's some covering out there but it's not enough to fully shelter the scooter from the rain.
Also I hate riding on the rain because not only A I get splashed because the fenders on the m2 aren't long enough and B it's so slippery when running dual motors
😂😂😂😂 The first scooter she had ever tried was my Yume hawk and then My TRBK-M2, she asked me a bunch of questions before she finnally decided to get her own. Look at the size comparison tho 💀 that thing is TINY and she's around 5'8 and I'd estimate around 155lbs, it's way too small for her.
(Yes Ik my scooter is filthy that's beyond the point)
Since I can't for the life of me figure out how to keep my arms straight to press into a tucked handstand, I've been practicing these instead. Training the handstand is such a pain 🥀
I started February 12th this year, coincidentally December 12 is going to be my 20th birthday, hoping to have achieved a great looking physique by then.
Calisthenics is the best that's happened to me all year! I've unlocked skills like chicken wing "muscle up", tucked planche and push up, tucked front lever, L sit, tucked v sit, elbow lever, 90°holds and progressed a ton with basic exercises. (Still no handstand)
Just wanted to share a bit about what it's been like after 7 months 😁😁
Just found out I could do a 90° hold earlier.
So I went to try out this combo: 90° hold - Tucked planche - L-sit - push up then L sit. With me having long limbs the only way I can pull this off currently is on these 10" Parralettes, I'm far from being able to combo like that on the floor yet. The extra ground clearance makes a huge difference. Sometimes I can't even hold a 2 second Lsit on the ground but when I get on the Parralettes, BOOM 7 seconds.
Now If I could just hold a fking handstand I'd already be doing hspu and 90°hspu already 🤦🏾 over 6 months since I started Calisthenics I still don't git it smh
In March 26 this year I couldn't even do one pull up, now my strength has reached a new level 09/01/26!😤. Also I literally learned to roll over and pull over just yesterday and I started putting it into practice in my session today, shout out to these two guys that guided me at the park yesterday 🙌🏾 I love the calisthenics community. Looking forward to see how far I'll come this on this day next year 🥹
I find it easier to do pistol squats on elevated platforms instead of solid ground for some reason. I could have gotten lower for the dragon squats if only I had good knees 🩼
Feb 12 2026 Is when I started working out, despite working part time and going to school at the same time I'd say the progress had been great despite those.
Unlike the gym I love that calisthenics can be done anywhere, anytime with little to no equipment.
Just sharing in hopes of encouraging anyone that just started like myself to not give up! 😁 I believe that in 2 months I'll have the proper muscle up unlocked 💪🏾
Before I unlocked my first real muscle up today (chicken wing) I was doing this easier variation I found on Instagram. Switched grip, dominant hand underneath, non dominant on top and pull towards your pocket.
I'd say spamming these definitely helped unlocking my first one but can anyone confirm that these actually do anything?
I started working out back in February 12th of this year. I hardly practice pull related skills so I've been stuck on 8 Pull-Ups for a while. I for real thought the muscle up would far more in the future but to my surprise I managed to get a couple in today!!! For reference I'm 6'1 180lbs
Yes I am aware this is a "chicken wing" muscle up but I'm still proud of the progress 😁 lock in 💪🏾
As everyone knows liviae Controllers are very weak when it comes to acceleration, despite these being 72v45A controllers that peak at 50A the acceleration is noticeably not as fast as something like a Wolf King GT Pro with the same specs and peak power.
So has anyone done the controller swap? And if you've thought about doing it? If so what controllers would you recommend and would the scooter be able to handle it?

Word to everything I love I've never once seen any PEV Rideout when I'm riding my scooter. Every single encounter has been when I'm driving 🤦🏾♂️ Driving sucks! I'd rather be on 2 wheels instead.
This happened earlier today while I was driving with my mom literally just one block away from my house! 😑 Just when will I stumble upon something like this when I'm riding? 😭
The last clip I posted here riding the 7260r I got a surprisingly big amount of hate... Whole I reason I had stopped posting on the main sub is because of haters/snowflakes yet it seems they've crawled their way in here too... I random redditor ain't stopping me from posting what I like.

It's as you read in the title. I started my journey on February 12th today is June 6th. Before you say anything I do not have a weight lifting background and never worked out consistently for more than a week ever in my life. Locked in this year and discovered skills like planche, Maltese, 90° hspu, front lever and etc that I never knew existed in my 19 years of life.
When I first started my journey I aimed to reach a clean L-sit by December which is my birthday but I unlocked this before the L-sit 😅 .
What helped early on is Speudo Planche push ups that I started doing in month 2 of my journey as as well as pike push ups. I stopped doing regular push up as much because they don't provide any value except showing off. Creatine helped a ton because when I first started I'd be sore all day long from just doing push ups and planks .
I think I may be able to get full planche in a year at the rate I'm improving. What I need is a stronger core that's really the main factor holding me back rn. I tried to extend my legs at the end for an advanced tucked planche but nope, still got a long way 😅 appreciate any feedback, tips and advice 🙏🏾
