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 wrists for optimal “stacking” in the ‘closed-straddle’ position, the ‘ROM straddle-press’ allows for progressive range-development of the ‘high-press’ range of the concentric.
In this way the “crux” of the press-HS (namely the dead-start “lift-off”/’low-press’) is effectively eliminated, albeit allowing for focused strength-development of the mid-to-high range.

Full-range straddle press-HS
THE WHAT:
For those endowed with a high-capacity in straight-arm strength pressing or significant active-range in leg-abduction & compression (or, even more fortunate, both at the same time), these conceptually-progressive ‘Full-range straddle press-HS’ variations may be immediately available for... -
'L-sit' to 'Pike-press Handstand'
THE WHAT & HOW:
An integrated SAS/S context which transitions from a DOWNWARD-pushing 'L-sit', through the HORIZONTAL arc of a "piked" planche-form, finishing with an OVERHEAD ‘Pike-press’ into the Handstand form… and then returning again.It brings the ‘low-press’ aspect into the ‘Pike press-HS...

High straddle-hold
THE WHAT:
An integrated straddle-compression (i.e. active lifting of the extended legs) and straight-arm scapular-strength (SASS) drill in the context of vertical pushing. Ultimately, these two aspects integrate into a fundamental isometric form which both serves for strength-conditioning and 'ac...
