Notice any difference? I took to spending my work breaks on micro-workouts: 2 dozen pushups, 1/2 dozen pullups, 30 squats, a few dips, and a quick handstand. 2, 3, or 4 times a day, four days per week.

After 6 months: everything hurts.

hahaha damn I was gonna say impressive until your last sentence, maybe you have pushed it too far too quickly? It's been a very incremental process for me. When I started I did 8 to 12 pushups, and I'd try to do at least 2 sets, but now I can easily do a 100 (understand easily as an "I can do them but it's tough" haha). I rarely end my sets completely exhausted or anything, after a while it feels normal and then I increment. Some people have told me that's a wrong approach but that's because they think I want to build muscle, I don't care, I just want to have a stronger core, being tall and relatively thin that's like a must

Yeah, my achieved goal will look like a healthy guy instead of the swole dude, but when I get to 'planche to handstand' I win.

i DO STRETCH (turns off cap locks) in the evenings, consistently, and have added stretching to my daytime micro workouts. For 2023, I'll stretch more pump a little less, focus on flexibility. For strength my goal is "planche to handstand", and for flex it's forward splits. (so far the side splits are killing me; they may be out of my range)
