Press HS & Stalder press
•
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.

Back-to-wall Straddle press-HS eccentric
THE WHAT & HOW:
A supported context which develops transferable strength and patterning toward the full 'Straddle press-handstand'. It is important to note from the outset that the effectiveness of this drill is very much determined by the available range in your 'Pancake' form, as well as your a... -

THE WHAT & HOW:
Development of the 'Straddle press-handstand' benefits from an understanding of the isolated 'open/closed' straddle phase of the press "firing-sequence", one already established in practice of the 'Lying press-HS pattern'. Brought now into balancing inversion, the 'Open-straddle, ... -
Partial straddle press-HS contexts
THE WHAT:
Straight-arm strength (SAS) & patterning development of the 'high-press' phase of the straddle press-handstand, incorporating both the eccentric AND concentric-phases. Whist the first context isolates the “open/closed” shoulder-pattern necessary for bringing the shoulders BACK over the ...
