Katharina Huemer Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I found this cool video on YouTube and now I have some questions.Is it the same as a hollow-back press? I guess no, because in the HBP you just go straight to handstand whereas in the video he "rolls" into handstand, right?Is it equally hard as a hollow back press? A boy at my gym always does it, he rolls and uses the momentum and then he arches a lot when doing that. He also has a very strong heel-drive, so he kind of "arches" up to handstand! It looks soo cool!Will I be able to do it while working on Foundation? And if so, where at Foundation should I be strong enough to do it until I got the hangover of the technique?And which muscles are used in this exercise?Thank you!

Ryan Libke Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 The title of the exercise is posted in the corner. It is less difficult than the hollow back press. You will be able to do it upon working on Foundation. The program shows where it fits in. As to which muscles, I would say most of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavio85 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 mostly shoulder flexors (anterior delts, clavicular fibers of pectoralis major, coracobrachialis..), elbow extensors (triceps and anconeus), erector spinae, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Done with proper body alignment , less arching and no sag in the bodyline feel it more harder then HBP. it's a personal sensation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Tseng Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 This is rolling into a planche rather than rolling into a handstand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katharina Huemer Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 I know this is not proper "body alignement", I know it is not ideal if you arch a lot and use momentum.I also see that in this video, he just rolls to planche, but I said that I know a boy who is doing that to handstand.Here is another video of Carmen Amara doing it.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=12AmqntBN_oI want to do that so badly. Seems like it shouldn't be that hard with momentum. Do you think I could get that in some months, like 3-4 or so, although I have only almost finished F2? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Depends on how well you can rock to Locust position (chest roll to candle). And how much pushing strength you have, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katharina Huemer Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Depends on how well you can rock to Locust position (chest roll to candle). And how much pushing strength you have,Thanks for your answer. Do you think it is possible to get it with just Training for it 3 times a week if I am still on F2? Because I recently decided to focus more on handstands and gymnastics specific skills like cast handstands and chin-up pullovers etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
