Mikael Kristiansen Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Here is a video of me training in circus school in Stockholm. The last 2 years I have worked around the clock to manage 1 arm press to handstand, and I am finally getting there! It has been an eeeeeendless grind to build the power, technique and flexibility to become able to do it. Still I need to use a 1.5-2 kg weight(depending on my strength) in my free arm to get up from the bottom of the 1 arm stradlle L. It was the same process with the one where I glide up the cane, where I also used a counterweight which I gradually lowered. I expect another 6 months until I can press from straddle L without weight consistently several times per training. Pressing out from the pike will be the next goal.The training has mostly consisted of a lot of negatives down to straddle L. I could do a slow, controlled descent with 2.5kg on each ankle a month before I got up even with counterweight because of the insane power it takes to get out of the bottom part. As I am in school, I have basically trained this almost 7 days a week, staying within 3-5 QUALITY reps per day, to be able to keep the frequency. Preserverance is key, since I actually have had consistent progress almost every week for 2 years and still I have ways to go.I will have a longer video up by tomorrow, need to finish editing, but here is at least the PRESS! =)ycO86vVOB10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
