Form Check: Handstand

So my goal is a perfect handstand. I looked at my previous handstand and saw that I never opened my shoulders up, so I tried it. Is this a perfect handstand?

I am aware that I am slightly piked at some times. However, this positition is so easy to hold, much less strength required than my previous handstands. Do you guys think I'm ready to move on to the one handed handstand?

from this position it's difficult to say but is easy to see that you have some pelvic anterior rotation that means no squeezed abs and butt, probably you are doing that trying to compensate lack of shoulder mobility / tigth lats if you hold the hollow during handstand.

maybe a side view without shirt is better to judge

There is no perfect handstand.  As an adult it is a giant series of compensations. 

Your shoulders are still not completely open, so you compensate by sticking the ribs out and piking.  You have done this in a way to make your line better but the issue still exists. 

When you get on one arm all of these issues are going to be exaggerated so you have to prepare for that. 

I don't think you are quite ready for one arm yet.  Your kick up still uses too much energy and your body moves quite a bit when you balance. 

I would focus on making the balance cleaner and the position better for the time being along with some press and HSPU work at the moment rather than start one arm training.

Thanks a lot guys for the criticism, could definitely use some of that! I'll work on it.

you need more control and open your shoulders, your hips are piked and your back a little arched...

is just my opinion...

and before working on one hand probably will be a great idea to work on presses to hs, and more control in the position..
