Current Skill You Are Developing

[theBruiser500]

Right now I'm working on a couple of gymnastics skills (from here). Mainly the planche which is a push up without having the legs on the ground. If you read the site I am still on the first stage of the progression. The other thing is a hand stand which again just strikes me as a sweet thing to be able to do. Eventually handstand push ups and going from a planche into a handstand and back. The training is very strenuous and takes a lot of concentration for both these things, but I like that a lot which makes it sad that my dedication has been so poor.

I've wanted to do these things for a few months now. My training has not been systematic, it's been probably 10 days spread out over the last few months. And in those days since since the training is so hard it's only about 5 minutes of practice for the planche and 10 for the handstand. Taking a few gymnastics class gave a lot of practice for the handstand, also the slightly bouncy floor made it easier.

Feel free to talk about any skill, speed reading, pick up arts, talking through your nose... how it's been going, your training, results, whatever strikes you as interesting!

Learning to do a planche will be difficult. Learning to press from a planche to a handstand will be [i]extremely[/] difficult. To practice your handstand a good method is against a wall with your stomach facing the wall. Flex your feet so that your toes and no other part of your body touch the wall.

Ive got a couple of projects going right now:

1. Ive been brushing up on my computer security knowledge, I havent done much or kept up with it in 3 or 4 years, but I just bought a couple new boxes, and am running cable for my new network. I really want to be able to code my own exploits, network/bufferoverflows etc, I also want to get profficient at low level hardware (cellphone, scanner, etc) programming. I also want to learn how credit card skimming works, how to write new mag strips to CC, how to make fake IDs things like that.


2. Hustling golf: now that the weather is breaking Im going to start hitting the range and working on my shortgame, along with reading etc


3. Turning my xbox into a media center- Im just waiting on my mod chip.

this sounds really awesome. keep us updated. i might wanna do this.

at this point im still trying to get decent at soccer. i played for the first time in my life last august. I'm still learning a ton every time i play. i have always had every sport come completely naturally to me, but this one is way more difficult and challenging, i think thats why i enjoy it so much.

I was thinking of learning the piano (via keyboard to start) or the guitar come summer time. This would be the best answer to this question.

Suggestions on which instrument I should choose to learn?

Additionally, I will probably work on getting ready for summer men's softball. Fun stuff.

Probably reducing stuff like "like", "um", generally sounding more professional/etc?
