This split entrance has become one of my favorites—not just because it’s a signature move, but because it’s a measure of my progress. I’ve been doing this skill for the last couple of years, but this year, I can really see the difference. The slower I descend, the more control I have—and now, I’m moving into it with more ease than ever before. That control comes from strength, stability, and time under tension, and it’s proof of just how much I’ve improved. This is why I love skill-based goals.
