press

I miss the press handstand mounts, they seem to be very few and far between these days, if I do say so almost not existent, Anyone else feeling the same?

hi! i'm the coach of a 7-year-old gymnast who has been working to get her straddle press to hs for a year now. i haven't coached upper level girls so i have never had a gymnast that has had that skill... i'm pretty sure that this gymnast is very close to get that skill but i'm not absolutely...

Similar to my last question in MAG in my floor routine after my second pass i want to do a manna press which is a D. but then before my last pass i want to hold a manna lower to a v-sit and press to handstand out of v-sit so I'd get a .3 for manna and .3 for v-sit to handstand. Just making sure...

I've been working on my press handstand for a long time. I have a lot of strength. In my abs, shoudlers, and arms. I think I can't really do it, because I don't understand how. I can do it against the wall easily. I can also do a headstand press. I just don't understand how far out my shoulders...

My daughter is practicing her press handstand at home. She was just recently introduced to it and it is driving her crazy that she can't get it. What she is doing is standing in front of a folded mat (folded four times). She does a candlestick and then tries to straddle press to handstand at...

What is the importance of straddle press handstands. I know it is a strength exercise, but it seems to be everywhere on youtube and I know that TOPS tests it. Our gym does not seem to work these (at least they haven't started in my daughter's level nor have I ever seen any girl do them in the...

Ok, so for a few weeks now, I've been working on a straddle press handstand. I get my legs equal with my shoulders ( I don't really know how to explain this) but then I can't get my legs up. Does anyone have any drills and conditioning? I want this skill really bad then eventually want to work...

My daughter has been able to do one straddle press handstand for over a year now. They do not do these at gymnastics. She saw it on youtube and taught herself. She does one everyday. But, that's all she can do is one. She has been trying to do 2 in a row for some time now but just can't do...

My 6 y/o is a bit obsessed with practising this skill at home. It does get some regular work in class too. Her technique is a bit off. Her initial lift from lever seems good and there's a moment where she's 'butt up feet down' which seems right. But then as she brings her feet up she seems to...

I know there is a TON of threads on these already, but I really need some help. I am going into level 8 this year, and I am not even close to getting a press to handstand. I have done all the drills you guys have suggested, and I am very good at them, almost effortless with most of them, but as...

We have been working on press to handstand at gymnastics, and I have a lot of trouble with it. I can get my feet off the ground, then I can't do any more. I'm strong and I do everything my coaches yell me to do, but I have so much trouble with it. The one we work on is with your feet on the...

I've been trying to learn how to do a press handstand since I started this year at level 3 (i didn't start at 1 because i did tumbling for 2 years) Any tips? Pleeeaase help i need you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(

I cant do a press to handstand and it is really frutrating cause it is a skill I need!!!! Does anyone know any conditioning I can do to make me stronger???? Anything would help :)

I was wondering about press handstands. I can only do a straddle press, not from sitting position. I think you call that half press. It took me about a month. I was wondering if how many people on chalk bucket can do any kind of press. Straddle, Pike, Planche, whatever. Please reply back what...

I really want to get my stalder press. I can do one standing with out jumping but I can't seem to do one sitting. I think it might be a combination of strength and troubles with opening the shoulders. Any drills or conditioning would be helpful. :)

I am currently working on getting my press to handstand and i hope to get it soon (preferably as soon as posible) and i was wondering what i should be working on. Every day i do 10 supported presses from straddle stand and ove the past week ive been spotted less and less and sometimes i practice...

My 4 year old daughter has recently moved to high beam to do her press handstands. She can do them from standing position on the low beam. When the coach moved her to high beam last week, my daughter's prefence was to start them from a seated position like she does on the floor. The coach had...

Hi- I really want to get my press to handstand! However most of the younger kids at my gym cannot do a sitting press, and they are WAY smaller than me (I'm 14). I am lacking the strength- and probably flexibility to be able to do this skill! Any tips or motivational statements for me...

I know, I know - there are a bunchhh of press handstand questions and threads and I think I've read just about all of the ones I've come across, but none of them really .. seem to answer my questions. I can do a press from stand (straddle) against the wall, but I can't do it from a sitting or...
