Handstand (2s.)

A value skill

FIG Code Group: I
FIG Code Box: 16
Drills for Handstand (2s.).
  • The only way to really get a solid handstand is to do lots of handstands. Do them on the floor, on P-bars, on rings. Do them free standing and against a wall.
  • Work on extending your shoulders and pushing towards the ceiling.
  • Ideally the handstand should be slightly hollow. You should be able to look at your toes while in a handstand.
