Hello GB !

 

So i started training One arm handstands for 5 months now and i almost have it.

The problem is that i feel a very little chronic pain in my elbows and i was wondering if it's because i train OAHS every single day..But i'm only 18 and some handbalancers train multiple hours all days so ...

 

my routine look like this : -5 sets assisted OAHS legs together

                                          -5sets assisted straddle

                                         -5 sets slow carthweels 

 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

It's probably the standard answer, namely that your joints are not prepared for such advanced progressions.

I forgot to mention that i begin with a "shoulder/elbow prep" with shoulder taps and then OAHS against a wall, when i got 30- 40s hold, i started to train freestanding.
