I’d like to get some tips for improvement. I tried to get back to this skill again directly with straight arms which I seem to have been to some level successful (the slight bent in this attempt was because I was tired). I know it requires so much work to get to the perfection. Do i need my hands to be turned out as much as in the ring support position? Is there anything specific limited to the HS itself that i should actively train on to get the giants right when I’m training on them? I do seem to get very slow & sluggish at the near ending of straightening my body I wonder if it’s only my fear of falling from the other side.
Also I’d be very happy to know how I can build a well prepared body for training the inverted cross, @Coach Sommer and how I should approach it safely and effectively.
