Yaad Mohammad Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuri marmerstein Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin de Jesus Ponce Robaldino Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 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.. greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
