StevenL Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I've been trying to work these against a wall and am having no luck, except on negatives occasionally. I can't get video on the internet, so I can't have anyone on here check my form, but does anyone have something that I could use to progress to this? or should I just keep doing negatives against the wall?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbryk Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 http://www.drillsandskills.com/article/16Work the press to headstand against a wall, move your hands closer to the wall as you get better, work a tuck planche also for shoulder strength for the straight arm press against a wall. Work pike position stretches, get your hip flexors strong and flexible, lots of V-ups, that's how I worked up to it, I went behind my coaches back for awhile and had better improvements with my routine.

Blairbob Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Kbryk, put some good drills out there. I would reccomend coming down from a handstand, learning to control to a straddled stand or straddled split/pancake on the ground. Get on a panel mat or raise your feet up somehow about 4-6 inches off the floor and practice pressing off this. Practice straddled L sit to straddled stand. If you have poor hip flexor activation, do this on a height so your feet can have some clearance. Then do the negative motion. Handstand to straddled stand with your stomach to a wall. It will teach how your legs have to move in the opposite direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 If you have space for it rolling to handstand can help a lot. Also swinging up towards handstand on parallel bars if very helpful for building strength in the shoulders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
