Petra Dvorak 138 Posted July 20, 2016 I imagine Thoracic bridge stretch course to get the mobility plus the Handstand courses will lead you towards this position 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Everett Carroll 3,539 Posted July 20, 2016 Those courses are highly recommended for progressing towards this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christian Nogueira 504 Posted July 20, 2016 I think in gymnastics this would be a Reverse Planche. I believe Coach had a post about this somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piotr Ochocki 118 Posted July 20, 2016 In circus world its name is mexican handstand, you can find some read about it out there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon Douglas 4,940 Posted July 20, 2016 For reference one of Coachs boys could brush his toes on the ground in a rev pl then pull back up for reps in warmup 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julian Aldag 374 Posted July 21, 2016 I saw coach's student Dillon, begin in a floor bridge and then PRESS into this. In the circus world it is both called a Mexican Handstand and also a Hollow back (not to be confused with the gymnastic hollow back press :/ ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
