Jump into press HS
Handstand balance contexts
•
1m 34s
THE WHAT:
Whilst this context does not significantly contribute to the straight-arm strength required to perform the full 'Press handstand', it allows development of the "popping" texture required for an efficient jump-up into straddle-handstand position which contributes to calibration of power-management (i.e. for the jump) and leg-proprioception in the straddle-handstand form.
At the same time, it can still be considered a conditioning drill for straight-arm SCAPULAR strength (SASS), as MAXIMAL shoulder-elevation to establish your stable shoulder "platform" ("more push!") is maintained throughout.

Splits & straddle HS balance
THE WHAT & WHY:
The 'split' and 'straddle' are very simply & approachable options for expanding your experience of balancing handstand forms. Whilst it is advisable to already have some experience with your straight-line balancing handstand (consistent holds of 10-20 seconds) before opening more ... -
Handstand leg-proprioception sequence A
THE WHAT & WHY:
Whilst exploring different shapes and handstand forms helps to develop proprioception of the legs (i.e. where they are in space), their dynamic movement inevitably causes moderate to significant weight-shifting in inversion.The practice of continual re-/calibration of balance to...

Handstand straddle leg-extensions
THE WHAT & WHY:
Once you have developed your fundamental straight-line handstand to consistent hold times of at least 30-seconds and have some experience holding handstand in a basic straddle form, (i.e. legs straight & apart), adding some movement of the legs will both require you to invite and ...
