Handstand open/closed-shoulder reps
Press HS & Stalder press
•
57s
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 which brings your hips into an optimally-stacked position over your shoulders/hands (the 'counter-balanced' position, characteristic of tuck-HS), from where the legs are extended to overhead. Likewise, it must also happen in reverse (i.e. 'closing' the shoulders) to return to the floor.

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-... -
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...
