Handstand - internal or external rotation ?

Hello,

 

I'm a little bit confused about the shoulder/arm rotation in the freestanding handstand position.

 

Is the rotation of the triceps to the inside ("showing your armpits to people in front of you") the internal or the external rotation?

And, is the proper/best position for a handstand to rotate triceps in or rotate triceps out?

 

Thanks

Coach Sommer

Neither.

 

You should be focusing on full shoulder flexion.  Not internal or external rotation.
