Katharina Huemer Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hey guys!Today I got my press handstand! I can't really believe it, the first time I heard of this skill was 7 months ago and it seemed impossible - and now I finally have it! I started learning it against a wall, then moved on to try it from floor ( I was never comfortable with pressing up from something!) Last week was the first time I could lift my feet from the ground and balance for some secs and today I got it! I just leaned forward, held the balance and pressed up - so easy now!So now I have 2 questions:- is there a wrong technique for the press handstand? can you do something wrong with your legs or feet? or of it Works - you do it right?- the next step is pressing up from straddle Support...how hard is this? i can hold a straddle for 30 secs! what are some skills I should work on before trying this? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody Ward Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Make sure your feet are going out not just straight back and up. Honestly, if you have a good straddle L, stalder press isn't that far off if your standing press is strong. Maybe try something like straddle press then stalder negative. Stalder rolls are good too I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
