press handstand

My daughter's coaches have changed requirements for moving up and she now needs to have her cast handstand on low bar. She has approximately 8 weeks to master it. Would welcome any and all advice for training she can do at home. Thanks!

My gymnast is having a very difficult time getting her press handstand. She is Level 7 and has won Regionals, always places 1st or 2nd, etc., so we don't think it's a matter of lack of training. She used to be able to do it when she was level 4, but has since lost it. She is the only one on her...

I'm working press handstands on blocks, and I'm really trying to get it. Since I've been out of the gym it's gotten harder to master. I have a panel mat and small blocks, as well as large ones. Any tips or drills? Thank you!

I have tried very hard for the past few months to get my my aerial and back handspring and press handstand. I used to be able to do a back handspring and aerial but now I can't. I've watched a lot of tutorials. any tips? im 8 years old

I have heard many people on here and elsewhere say that press handstands must be learned before puberty or they're harder for girls post puberty. Why is this? I disagree. I'm 17, I started gymnastics under two years ago and I can do 5 straddle press handstands (from sitting) in a row without...

My kiddo is now the only one in her L5 training group who cannot do a press handstand and is pretty frustrated about it. She has long legs and is not the most flexible. I am ordinarily 100% against gymnastics outside the gym, but this is more of a conditioning issue that is safe to work on at...

So I could probably make my first thread in the introductions but i've been waiting to ask this for months. So I've been struggling to get a straddle press ( stadler press whatever you call it) on and off since I was 8 years old...10 years later, I finally made one. I had been practicing out of...

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...

Are press handstands allowed in a floor routine? Well, I guess they are allowed, but do judges like to see them? Combo I am thinking about: Back Extension Roll to Handstand - Handstand Forward Roll Tuck Handstand - Handstand Forward Roll Straddle Press Handstand - Handstand Forward Roll Pike...

I just joined this user group because I hope I can get some help here and I also think it is better to ask here than in the parents forum. Iwant to know if Press Handstands should be worked everyday and how? Would it be best to do a full press handstand workout everyday or split it up? I am...

I get almost all the way up but then fall. which skills should I have before I do this, and please give tips?

My 6 year old son got his straddle press handstand the other day!! I am so proud!

Is a press handstand mount onto the beam a B skill? This is in a Lvl 6 routine.

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...

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...

Question time again! Sorry! As DD is working on her straddle press, some thoughts came to my mind. So she has a standing straddle press and almost got it from sitting. Once she can comfortably do it from sitting up and back down again...what about the press handstands done on beam? Will she...

Some weks ago I posted that my younger DD (and the girls on her team) is expected to get her press handstand by the end of September. She has made good progress so far! She had her standing straddle but couldn't press up from a straddle L position to stand, although she could hold a straddle L...

How many press handstands from sitting can you (your DD) do, what level are you in and how old are you? I know many L9 gymnasts, a few can do 5 or more, a few can barely do one and most of them can do about 3 although they all work them daily. I can't really understand why they can't do more...
