Katharina Huemer Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 It is very possible to pike through on floor to press handstand as almost every advanced gymnast is capable of this. I'm pretty sure it is nothing for handbalancer.I train at a gym with many high Level gymnasts (MAG and WAG) and only one 58 year old man can do this and he has been a cirque artist his whole life and has very very short legs. I feel I won't ever be able to do this due to my long legs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Burnham Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 How high level? When I was at woga in dallas most of the guys had this skill never saw the team girls do it but the acro girls and guys could also. At my gym in Atlanta it is part of several of the guys warmups.

BeBetter Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hey guys! I have one question: What would you say how long does it take to increase the number of sitting straddle presses in a row? I can do 1 but would like to do 5 in a row... Any kind of update on the press progress. I am in a similar boat, being that I just achived my first decent press. Iam looking forawrd to cleaning up form and then adding reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr Ochocki Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I feel I won't ever be able to do this due to my long legs! No, train well and it will come (probably it has already if I recall your most recent posts) , look at video below, Olga seem to have long legs, look at her press around 1:48m, with her flexibility she doesn't even have to lean forwards and it looks like if it was on the floor she would made it from V .
