Back-to-wall Straddle press-HS eccentric
Press HS & Stalder press
•
2m 31s
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 active COMPRESSION strength.
The closer you can PULL the legs APART (i.e. wide straddle) and toward the body, the more fully you can work through the pattern with STRENGTH all the way to the floor. In its absence, the drill is generally "cut short" as the legs reach a point of descent at which they simply "fall" toward the floor, without active control.

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, ... -
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 ... -
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...
