    WAG Any press handstand success stories in older students?

    Does anyone have any success stories for a female gymnast learning a press from straddle-L past the age of 15, who is not tiny, if they had not been working on it as a child (when they were a part of other programs)? These people can hold a static handstand effectively, can lower down to...

    WAG Press handstand required for stalder?

    1) Do you need a press handstand from a sitting position to do a stalder? Or will it help? I have a very good press handstand, but only one and not two or more in a row! 2) Do you think stalders are harder than free hips? I kind of find the drills for stalder ways better and easier than for...

    WAG press handstand in a row easy? every opinion appreciated!

    So starting from scratch, it took me a little over 1 year to get my first straddle press from sitting. I am tall and "heavy", 5'4" and 120lbs. Should I aim for a second one or even more presses or is more than one press super hard at that height and weight? I know a woman who is sooo strong...

    WAG Who has a press handstand on beam? I have a question!

    Today my coach spotted my straddle press handstand on beam. I did it "longways", on the narrow side, I don't know how I should explain that, but like where your hands are so close together that they are touching! Like this: He said this is super hard, because your hands are so close together...

    WAG Press handstand help

    My daughter can't seem to put it all together. She can do the straddle press but then has to reposition her hands to get to the handstand. I feel like there may be a simple step she is missing but I have no clue. Any good tutorials or suggestions?
