Back to wall (B2W) head-in tuck-HS
Handstand supported-balance
•
42s
THE WHAT:
Another 'head-in' HS context for developing proprioception as well as awareness of & neural drive in the upper-back/lower-trap muscles during HS. Whilst the former helps build your HS practice laterally, the latter leads to better efficiency (the back-muscles tire less easily than the shoulder) & stability of your scapular/shoulder structure for the benefit of both existing & ongoing HS-skill development.
With regards to form, the 'head-in' position is essentially one in which the head is "tucked" in MAXIMALLY between the shoulders (chin-to-chest) and line of sight is changes from being fixed on the floor, to being fixed on the KNEES. In the first instance, this change of head position challenges the vestibular system to adjust to an apparent change in orientation, although the fundamental structure of your tuck-HS handstand is ALMOST the same.

Chest-supported handstand
THE WHAT:
This context serves as a 'novel' supported-balance drill as its optimal execution very much depends on the setup (how well you establish your shoulder-strucure as well as the chest-supporting surface used) and your mobility (if front-folding mobility is restricted, this can simply make ...
