THE WHAT:
If you notice that you cannot achieve true "lockout" of the knees in your 'Handstand floor-line' (or also in your handstand 'kick-up' for that matter), you may need some extra "encouragement" to put the sensation of MAXIMAL knee lockout (i.e. sustaining maximally contracted quadriceps) on your neural-map.
One way to determine this is by recording your floor-line and checking if there is a SPACE under your knees (this appears when the knees are FULLY locked-out). Secondly, you can "diagnose" in this drill by checking if the heels raise off of the floor when you contract the quadriceps maximally (as in the resource).
