    Will I ever get my staddle press HS?

    I'm a L5, and I'm worried because I can't get my press to HS. In our strength training every day, we have to "try 10 press handstands from sitting" but I can't even make a press from straddle sit to straddle stand. I can barely/sometimes make a press from straddle stand to handstand, and I have...

    press handstands

    I really want a straddle press hand stand, but i can't figure it out. I can pancake on the floor and hold myself off the ground on my hands, but can't rotate my hips up into the handstand. Also I can straddle press all ready standing. Maybe I just don't have enough strength or something. Any...

    Press Handstands

    Ok.... I've always thought that press handstands were really cool, I really love watching them as a beam mount. But the fact is... I can't do them. I've tried learning them before, but have never been successful. So, I'm basiclly a beginner at them. What are some drills that I can do to start...

    Press Handstands.

    There has been a lot of talk about press handstands in previous posts. It seems to me that little ones can do more press handstands than older girls - Less body mass probably. For instance, at our gym we have 2 gymnasts that are sisters. One is a L10 the other a L6. The L10 was on the...

    Trying to get somewhere with the press handstand

    I can do the press handstand on the wall with ease. And for the few spots I had with them, it was quite easy too. So now what? I can't do them alone yet. I tried elevating my feet so that my hips are above my head, but that doesn't help. It feels like I need to lean forward more, but if I do...
