Have you ever Tried this:

and also how is your bridge?

i think that you need a bit more of thoracic extension.

@Alessandro Mainente

Here are videos of my recent bridges

11'' mark handtand hold very nice!

45° hollow...more hips extensions and strive externally rotate the upper arm!

I think that now that you have a solid hs, you should use a mirror, look to the side, in order to reach the hips extension..

@Alessandro Mainente

Is this the hip extension your looking for?

no, here follows your form and over it yuval form. notice the feet positioning. your must recover the feet and then the hips.

now to practice it is very useful the hammer-foot handstand to the wall where you try to push the hips to the wall. the hands should be placed very closer like 5-7 cm. you should also try to externally rotate the upper arms so that the armpit moves closr to the wall.

@Alessandro Mainente

Thank you! I will work on this

Move hands closer to the wall, it should be like the "wrists hanstand" from handstand 1 and you must try to externally rotate the upper arm.. Also it requires time, it is a fine technical refinement. you won0t see improvement in days....maybe weeks.

You must recover the feet...

@Alessandro Mainente

How do my feet look here? I've been focusing on keeping them in a straight line.

The general form has improved especially for additioanl bridge work...not you need only a bit of hip extension. you must push the hips on the left...

Does this look any better?

do you mind if i ask you to do a wall handstand and try to retract and protract the shoulder blades? film from the back.

@Alessandro Mainente

Here is protraction and retraction

notice how retraction is ok...while protraction is a bit less...now try to focus on this on handstand...move your shoulder blase.

probably some kneeling stretch like this with rounded back will help, strive to hold the elbows and hands at the same distance..

@Alessandro Mainente

I will work on this thank you! Just so I understand my goal is to retract in the handstand?
