Back in the day, when I was obese, I would marvel at the superhumans around me who were able to perform physical feats mere humans could only dream about. Many of those feats required a basic skill I considered impossible for my short, round, mortal arms.
Enter, the handstand.
Oh, the handstand. How I love thee. And yet, we barely know each other. Lets fix that.
In the last year I'd like to say I've really gotten my "act" together. I've addressed major inadequacies in my mobility, drastically improved my trunk strength, and increased my vertical leap. All these goals achieved, yet I am no farther on my journey to a freestanding handstand.
No longer.

It's time. So, here's the breakdown:

- Purpose: What are we trying to discover?
- Can I achieve a handstand in 30 days?
- Will I see a carryover to upper body strength?
- Hypothesis: What is an educated guess regarding the outcome of the experiment?
- I will achieve a handstand in 30 days or sooner.
- My current maximum pushups in 1 minute will increase.
- Materials: What supplies, equipment, or information (data) will need to be used/acquired?
- Video documentation of current handstand proficiency via iPhone.
- Video documentation of 1 minute pushup test via iPhone.
- Procedure: How are we going to conduct the experiment?
- Weekly check-ins of progress with mobility and strength progressions.
- Results: What happened?
- To be determined...
- Conclusion: Was the hypothesis correct?
- To be determined...
