I'm training pressHS from month and nothing :-( Video.

I'm training pressHS from month and I can't lift my legs up yet. I'm training that a same exercises for the month and i'm not a give up my legs. What happened? I'm training 3 days for week.

What drills are you using?

I highly reccomend trying to do handstand press down. Handstand against the wall, back to wall, and lower your legs as slowly as possible straddled or pike.

My drills:

Warm up: Handstand against a wall,

Exercises: Push ups on hands and legs 90 degrees bent, Headstand and legs lift ( I can do this 15 reps pike even ),

cradle backs, Press Handstand Straddle attempts and calf raises (it is similar to hindu push ups )

P.S. Tomorrow I will enclode my film with my attempts on YouTube.

I'm not anywhere close to a press HS but maybe these articles will help you..

Do not bend your arms if you want a straight arm press HS. You do however need to train both bend and straight arm presses but thats another business.

for straight arms press the drills and skills article pretty much covers it all.

Why I'm bending my arms, while I'm doing Handstand Press, even though I don't want my arms bend? Too weak my arms or something other?

Continue working on HS press downs on the wall in straddle. Try to get your toes as low as possible.

Make sure you are pushing against the ground as you press.

Develop more upper body strength. HS holds and wall runs. HS Walking, HeSPU/HSPU, besides planche and dip work.

Ok. I would like to do pressHS to 10 February. Do I make on time? (straight arms )

Probably enough time if you devote enough time to it.

He is most probably bending his arms due to incorect positions of shoulders when he is pressing. Shoulders must be at the top of the wrists and not forward like in planche.

For straight press to HS, you don't need to train bend arm press to HS, in matter of a fact this procedure makes you learn to bend arm where it needs to be straight. Second thing is in bend arm shoulders must go forward, wich is incorect for straight arm press to HS.

Bend arm press is simillar exercise like HSPU and for similar goals and not for same as SAPHS.

Gregor.. Propably it is problem. I did push ups on hands :-( I don't know how eliminated bend arms problem. :-) Merry Christmas everyone :-)

the only way to eliminate learning bent arms is to never allow it.
