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-... -
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... -
Wall-facing Press HS eccentric
THE WHAT:
A wall-supported patterning & straight-arm strength development drill toward developing understanding & capacities to perform the press HS. 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,...
