Mobility, Back tucks and Parkour

am session:
Mobility! i've been stretching my lats out everyday and have included it into my warmup. I never realized how tight they were and how much this impacted my overhead reach/handstand line.. i've already started to feel better overhead mobility after only a week or so of stretching them.
I also stretch my anterior chain this morning, as i have been doing a lot of posterior chain mobility lately. My hip flexors, quads are super tight and i need to work on them for my bridge..

-lat stretch
-kneeling quad stretch (touch head to ground and back up)
-bridge work
-some ground flow with cross legged tuck throughs

Pm Session:
This was one of the best sessions I have ever had.
I got to the gym around 8pm and was pretty tired so downed a cold brew coffee and a paleo bar as i knew i needed to perk up if i was to get the most out of the session. It closes at 9pm so i had 1 hour to train.
I warmed up with 20 mins of parkour. practiced precision jumps, kongs, wall spins on the 45 degree wall and some other new stuff.
I then went to the mat, warmed up with backward rolls. some jump tucks and spotted back tucks.
then:
Emom 30 mins: 1 back tuck
The whole idea was to get some good volume in and lose my fear over back tucks which can be scary.

-Parkour practice
-1 back tuck EMOM for 30 mins
