Carrying angle problem

While playing around with the GB challenge, my son and I realized that his large carrying angle (is this the proper term) will be a major obstacle in his progress. For instance, in the back to wall handstand, you can see that his elbows are in line with the body but the elbows seem almost bent (they are actually not). In an actual handstand he would be unable to balance with this anatomical problem. What should we do?

He's lucky on this one, he'll have slightly closed shoulders when he does a handstand. No big deal.

Oh. Thanks! Won't that compromise PPT though?

They are totally separate from each other.

Oh. Thanks!
