Hi everyone, any progress here in the headstand and shoulder extension? Any tips would be great... been doing this for a long time as shoulder mobility stinks.

How is grip width? Shoulder ext? Form?

Thanks so much!

Nice work, Ryan. On your headstand it looks like your elbows might be flaring out to the side. Can you also upload a front or back view?

Good job on your iM as well. At the beginning of your set you are doing a nice job of opening the chest, however, when you engage to core to keep your ribs pulled in your chest closes slightly. Work on keeping the ribs pulled in while still opening he chest. In your sort of "transitional" stage between chest open and ribs pulled down, you hit good form for a moment around 7 seconds. Try to replicate this position.

Sure, here is a quick front and back video:

Thank you so much for those specifics. Should my elbows or hands come in more?

Jeffrey Bittner

Hey Ryan,

The arms look good. Just remember to keep your elbows on top of your hands all the time. Also, try balancing a little bit more on top of your head and not so far down on your forehead.
