Goal Achieved: Backbend Kickover

Shoulder Stretching/Opening
Partner back bend stretch 3x10
Backbend kick overs x12 (6 each side) 4 panels down to the floor(!!)

RCF WOD:
7 rounds for time-
Run 200m
10 Burpees
10 Pullups
24:20

That was a tough metcon.

I'm super stoked that I FINALLY achieved my backbend kickover from the floor. I have been working on this for quite some time using panel mat progressions and some shoulder opening stretches. But NONE of the stretching or kicking over from an elevated surface has worked like the partner back bend stretch that Ido showed us. After a good warmup and working my way down the stack of panels; when I finally did it from the floor, it was EASY.
