Samuel Carr Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Im not yet strong enough in my lower back to so RLL from a headstand, and i do not have acces to anything similar to a pommel horse to allow me to do RLLs on or archups. I do however, have access to a barbell and plates, and was wondering if i could just work deadlifts and build up on that until my lower back is strong enough to perform RLLs from a headstand, or other prep. press handstand work. Would this be okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Winkler Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I would do good mornings, stiff-legged deadlifts, or RDL's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Yep. Another exercise would be german hang to basket hang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Van Bockxmeer Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 personally I don't do deadlifts (I dont have weights in the places I train), however they should do good things for your strength.Keep in mind you probably won't be hitting the full ROM required for headstand LL and handstand LL (pike press).

palmcron Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Reverse Leg Lift - for example lifting the legs in a headstand or handstand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emil Brannmark Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Romanian deadlift. A deadlift that starts from the hang, goin down not quite to the floor and then up. So it has an eccentric component as well, which standard deadlift lacks for the most part. Google for more instruction. I would probably just do conventional deadlifts tho.Edit: It's not really a deadlift at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Reverse Cranks in a variety of body positions would be an excellent choice for someone with limited equipment options.Yours in Fitness,Coach Sommer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heinrich Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I find headstand - RLL in straddle position much easier than legs straight and together. I think a proper progression is tuck straddle pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
