In this video we go over the protracted push-up, a fantastic exercise to get used to the shoulder positioning we want to have for the HSPU. In a normal push-up, the scapula is relatively free to move from protraction to retraction to varying degrees. By contrast, in this movement we want to maintain a fixed shoulder position while also getting used to the forward head motion that occurs in the HSPU but not the regular push-up. Even if a handstand push-up is not your end goal, you'll find the pro

A quick but valuable gem from Mikael's feed⁠ (@mikaelbalancing⁠) on shoulder position in the handstand (hint: it's not just about "opening the shoulders").⁠ ⁠ Original post:⁠ —⁠ ⁠ Place your shoulders over your hands.⁠ ⁠ One of the most misunderstood concepts in handstands is how your shoulders relate to your upper back and hands. Opening your shoulders too far(aligning the upper back with the humerus) is something that doesn’t work for most people(elbow and shoulder anatomy matters), unless you

Because when your hands are too narrow and you’re in a handstand, to go down you need to lean forward and move your legs into a diagonal line — and that’s super hard. As

𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒂 🌺 Handstand & Gymnastic coach on Instagram: "Understanding optimal shoulder positioning is one thing, but being able to access and hold that position can take six months to a year to develop… not only the mobility, but also the strength to support it. This doesn’t mean you won’t already be holding a handstand or exploring different handstand shapes.
