3 Drills to Improve Your Freestanding Handstand Hold

Three progressions to improve your freestanding handstand hold. Progression 1: Single Leg Lifts 1. Begin with hands on the floor, feet on box. 2. Hips directly above hands. 3. Legs extended straight. 4. Slowly lift one leg until it reaches true vertical. 5. Feel your weight shifting into your fingers. 6. Return to your starting position, & repeat on opposite leg. Progression 2: Chest to Box 1. Your chest should be the only point of contact with the box. 2. Maintain a fully stacked position: ankles ove hips, hips over shoulders, shoulders over wrists. 3. Legs extended straight. 4. Extend shoulders, as if to push the floor away. 5. Squeeze glutes to avoid falling over. Progression 3: Stacked Plates 1. Use the appropriate number of plates you need: the more plates used, the easier the progression. 2. Forearms need to be in direct contact with the plates. 3. Use your fingers to actively grip the floor, helping to balance. 4. Maintain your stacked position. ⚡️Breazeal Training Club: Online Gymnastics Classes and Tutorials ⚡️Your gymnastics could be easier — Join us and see for yourself! ▪️FIND THIS VIDEO HELPFUL?
