The 'Cast Walk'
Press HS & Stalder press
•
1m 16s
THE WHAT:
The 'Cast Walk' is a straight-arm strength (SAS) development context in which the strength-curve is maximal in the LAST 90-degrees (90-180) of arm-flexion (i.e. arms straight out in front, until overhead). This makes it particularly valuable in developing the strength of straight-arm, OVERHEAD pressing movements, such as 'Press handstand' variations.
As such, it can also complement the development of SAS pressing in combination with more horizontal-push contexts (i.e. planche-development contexts), ones in which the FIRST 90-degrees (i.e. 0-90) of arm flexion is primarily loaded.

Wall-supported open closed shoulder
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 ... -
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...
