the article is actually extremely true.

You do not do potentially dangerous poses untill the prep work is done. My shoulders are not strong enough to do shoulder stand yet so I DO not do it. the person posing in shoulder stand is not strong enough to do it either. you neck and head should be off the ground if they are not you do not do it!  This is why competitiveness and ego need to be left not only here but in most places in our life. if you are not ready do not do it! Black has it right the whole point is to do what you can do today, not what the person next to you can do. It would like dropping down Goat on your first day skiing, off course it is not going to go well.
