HamTheAstroChimp Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Hi,This is my first time posting here, though I've been reading the forums for a while. I've been working on my handstand for a few months and can comfortably hold it for 30 - 60 seconds without a wall (minutes with a wall-- I've never really timed it though). My main issue currently is getting into it. Even though I can hold it just fine once I do get into it, I can only hop (arms on the ground, then kicking up legs) into it successfully maybe 20% of the time. In addition, when I do hop into it successfully, it is almost always banana shaped at first, and I have to adjust my position to make it look nice. I've been stuck at this stage for something like 2 months now.All of that said, I'm hoping for some pointers or a new routine I can use to get out of this rut. I haven't done much press work, and was thinking I'd save that until after I can successfully hop into it a large majority of the time. So... any advice anyone can give me? I'd appreciate any ideas anyone has.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Sortino Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I would start working on presses now. Getting better at hopping into a HS doesn't seem like it would help a whole lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
