Hi Drew,

I'm also getting into breakfalls, usually when my stomach and lower back muscles have been pushed so hard by me, that I can't physically lift the weight of my legs over me

I began training on the 10th of last month, and have been training thrice weekly to present. I'm absolutely loving it, despite any initial disadvantages due to my size

I haven't got the hang of rolling on my left, and weaker, side, even from kneeling yet. But forward right, and both sides backwards are coming together quite nicely. It's such an encouragement when things just begin to 'click', and just come together.

Of course, I haven't stopped aching since the first session, but I figure this is merely an indication that I'm doing something right

Best,

-Daniel.
