Alessandro Di Sanzo Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hi all! I've been trying to learn holding handstand face to wall. I mastered headstand with proper straight body, so I fought I was ready to start practicing handstand. You can see my attempt in the first pic I posted. Unluckily I realized that I can't hold my body properly straight. Maybe the only right thing is that I keep arms locked. But my lower back is still a bit arched. I wonder where is my main mistake! How can I fix my form? I would like to keep my body straight, but if I try to push forward my butt I lose balance and fall forward. May I firstly practice it at stall bars? Infact If I hold my legs horizontal I can hold my back completely straight! (Just like in the second pic I posted).I will very grateful if you can give me some advices! Thank you!

Murray Truelove Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Probably anterior pelvic tilt. If you lie on the floor can you put your hands over head like a handstand a keep your lower back on the floor? If not try bending your knees, if this lets you get your back on the floor then you have tight hip flexors and probably weak glutes. Stretching your hip flexors and glute bridge exercises can help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understood well, there should be no space, right? So I guess it is as you said! I will work on it! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Truelove Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Being able to fit your whole hand between your lower back and the floor isn't unusual. Once your able to flatten your lower back cunningly l completely you'll have a nicer handstand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
