Wow, I've got a long way to go to get to "basic"...
That's a good list to work towards, helpful with organizing my one non-gymnasium gymnastics workout per week.

Yes.... if you ever want to feel unaccomplished, go observe some 12 y/o gymnasts.

Right on, Greg.
Watching the 11-12 y/o boys doing press handstands to pirouette dismounts on the P-bars last night really puts my 10-second-on-low-P-bars-free-handstand-with-the-wall-to-catch-me achievement in perspective.
I will say this, I am looking forward to my pressing movements getting stronger from my new emphasis on handstands and resisted push-ups!

Scratch the 11/12 year olds just watch some elite 9 and 10 year old girls if you really want to be humbled.
We were hanging out with some friends and their daughters are both elites, one was a level 9 and the youngest 3rd grade was a 7 prep optional. They were having Thomas Touches competitions to see who could do it longer. Ridiculous.
I pray that Jr will stay in it long enough for him to realize the benefits.

Yeah, some of the young girls are very, very sick in what they can do (no pedo).
I've been on a cycle of 'press only' sequences for a couple weeks now on parallettes. I'll let you guys know how it turns out in terms of pressing strength I guess.
Sequence =
L-sit press to shoulder stand, press to handstand, HSPU, slow negative to L-sit, straight arm straddle press, HSPU.
I am trying to add in a bit more as I get stronger.
