Straightening out the HS line
Handstand balance contexts

THE WHAT:
Further to simply balancing on two hands for as long as possible (quantity), if you plan to expand your handstand vocabulary further then your journey begins with attending to any breakdown areas in what can be defined as the "true" straight-line handstand (quality).
In many cases this begins with attention to any lacking in physical capacities which prevent you from achieving the desired shape (mobility restrictions in the shoulders & thoracic spine, neural drive & strength in the muscles of the upper-back/traps are common development areas) and working on them specifically though appropriate accessory-work.
