Bruno Cochofel Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 When should one start to do HS in XR? I can hold XR support, I can hold L-sit on XR, and can do wall runs (not as much as I would want but I'll get there)...Is there any progressions? Should one handle first shoulder stand?

Joshua Naterman Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 As long as you can keep a reasonably good body position you should be ok. If you are super arched you might want to get some spotting or start working on hollow HSPU to build the strength you need.. YTIW work done with a super slow pace and retracting the scaps before moving the arms with each rep will also help a lot, as will cervical spine extension strength work (backwards neck lifts).

Don't know what is backwards neck lifts.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Sounds like you probably won't have much trouble. Try it out and see how it feels! Wrap your feet around the straps at first but don't let that kill the straight body position! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm 1.76m :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
