Just noticed these on the GB homepage.
I'm finally getting into the freestanding work on H1 and was curious what role HS blocks
have in H1 if any.
I actually have no idea how they benefit the handstand. Is it a grip thing?...if i were to grab these, would it just
be used for play, post-training?
Thanks!
Nothing official in H1. They take some of the strain off your wrist by letting your fingers take a more neutral position. At the H1 level, cutting a 2x4 or 2x6 would probably be just as good. Once your handstand rocks, the blocks would be better because they're super lightweight.
I made some blocks in a woodshop a while ago and don't use them for handstands. I use them for stretching a lot though.
they can be used to make handstand wallruns reeeeaaaally fun.

How do you do this?
Do you just alternate hands on ground and blocks?

yes! it starts off fun but it goes 0-100 real quick. that extra 2in press up is killer after a few sets.
I need to give that a try!
