Basicly this thread is going to be all about my progression towards straddel press to handstand , i will update this everytime i progress or find new drills to help .
So far all i have done to progress is to keep on trying to press , i've been doing this for about 2 weeks now and have already mandaged to do it against a wall which i wasnt able to do so far
My info :
Gender : male
Age : 14
Height : 1.65 meters ( 5.41 ft )
Weight : 8.5 stone
Exp : about 4 weeks gymnastics , which taught me nothing ,i now freerun I taught myself on my trampoline how to flip , after that i taught myself how to backflip , frontflip , front and a half and side flip , on the floor .
Drill # 1 :
The first drill i am doing everday and wenever i can is a flexor drill which can be found in yuri's rant on press handstands , the link is here http://www.gymnasticbodies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8126 ( thanks yuri )
Drill #2 :
For this drill it is nice and easy just basiclly doing a handstand holding it for as long as you can , must be a freestanding hs and then try and lower your body the slowest you can back down ( in a straddle postion )
Progression #1 :
I have now managed to do a straddel press to handstand up against a wall .
