What is a birdie pirch? I only find squat on drills with that name when I look it up.1. cast to straddle stand/birdie pirch on the bar and forward roll off the bar onto mats - count how many times you can make it go over the bar in a row to improve at the skill of placing your shoulders over the bar - 5-10 in a row, revisit if you start falling back again
Any advise which exercises in particular?3. this one should be a constant... do straddle presses or an exercise for straddle presses on a regular basis - unless you have a super duper kip that swings up so fast you skip the press action... actually even if you do, more pressing strength is always an advantage.
Not a 100% sure but from context, I think you do a cast and straddle on the bar (squat on but in straddle)What is a birdie pirch? I only find squat on drills with that name when I look it up.
Like a cast into straddle stand on the bar.Joining this tread because I also want to get to a cast handstand.

Thanks a lot for your replyLike a cast into straddle stand on the bar.
For press exercises... it depends on your current strength and flexibility capability - here are some that aren't hard to modify harder/easier.
1. Straddle-L hold on parallettes or your preferred surface
2. Negative Press: Handstand, middle split, pike down to straddle-L ideally, straddle-stand is ok - slower the better. Can use a wall if you can't free-handstand
3. Press against wall from standing straddle: face towards wall, reach down to a standing straddle stretch, then lean shoulders against wall and press to handstand
