How are you doing.

I would like to enquire about fingertip handstands. Do many of you try them?

I have a friend who can do a handstand on the thumb and forefinger of each hand (2!) for 5 seconds. He can also do a handstand pressup in this fashion. All freestanding.

I've seen a lot of gymnasts press into these kind of handstands. I tried pressing into them, but you can feel a lot of pressure on your forearms. I haven't tried holding a handstand though.

I heard finger tips handstands can injure your finger joints easily so be careful on those.

I just re-read the OP and released he meant a different hand position. I don't know what I was thinking, but I was instantly reminded by the hand position the women does on the right of my screen doing a V-sit.
