Suspension Drill

Physical conditioning cannot be neglected during indoor standby. I scaled the pine support beam of the entryway key rack. Overhead hung an empty brass split-ring, thirty millimeters in diameter. Optimal clearance. I positioned myself beneath the hoop, extended both arms upward, and locked my rigid curved grips around the cold metal curve. Boots lifted clear of the ledge. Full dead-hang engaged. Core steady, joints locked against gravity. I counted sixty measured beats against the ticking hall clock. No slippage detected. I released and dropped back to the pine shelf on balance. Physical readiness verified.
