Lying straddle press-HS pattern
Press HS & Stalder press
•
1m 44s
THE WHAT & HOW:
An accessory tool for developing an understanding of the patterning & "firing-sequence" for the straddle press-HS, namely: 1. OPEN-straddle (open = the open HIP angle), 2. CLOSED-straddle (closed = the closed HIP angle), 3. Lumbar-'curl', 4. Compress & pike.
It should be noted that, in performing the actual straddle press-HS, this sequence is performed in REVERSE (i.e. 1. starting from a compressed, PIKED position with hands on floor, 2. straddling the legs wide and UN-'curling' the lumbar-spine, 3. coming to a 'closed'-straddle position, and 4. 'opening' the straddle to a handstand straddle-hold, before bringing them together into a straight-line handstand).

Jump into press HS
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-... -

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, ...
