Wall-supported open closed shoulder
Press HS & Stalder press
•
1m 26s
THE WHAT:
A wall-supported drill which isolates the 'open/closed' shoulder-pattern whilst maintaing a tight line, also developing straight-arm strength in the process. It is an accessible & useful accessory development tool toward building the 'press HS', 'handstand pushup', and also contributes experience toward 'planche' forms.
This is because, in both these straight & bent-arm strength forms, there is either an inevitable (as in 'Press HS') or necessary (as in 'HSPU') transition through the "CLOSED"-shoulder position, and so experience in terms of patterning & capacity is valuable to develop here.

Handstand open/closed-shoulder reps
THE WHAT:
Patterning the open-to-closed & closed-to-open-shoulder handstand forms with an eye toward its application in progressive handstand strength movements, such as the 'Press HS' and 'HS pushup'. In the press-handstand, it represents the final 'opening' of the shoulders after the press whic... -
Lying straddle press-HS pattern
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 t...

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-...
