    WAG Help with Stalder Press Handstands

    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...

    WAG Level 5 ~ toe-on and stalder to handstand

    Hi. I saw this at our L5 meet this weekend. Took me by surprise. Great that the kid can do it, but is that okay for a L5 compulsory bar routine? Just curious. Thanks.

    WAG Exercises for the "pressing" muscle in a stalder press?

    I have a skill specific question and hope someone can help. I a press handstand I always thought two things are especially essential 1. shoulder/trap strength 2. hip flexor strength However, I noticed lately that the most important part is the ability to press, meaning strong shoulders/traps...

    WAG Any advice on getting a Stalder to Handstand?

    Dd can get it almost to horizontal but can't get it up and over. Any advice from coaches or veterans? She is very flexible -- legs look to be in good position, so it's not a flexibility issue. How does she get it past that mid-point?

    Coaches Stalder: close the legs first, or open the shoulders first?

    In an ideal stalder, should the gymnast focus first on closing the legs and second on fully extending the shoulders, or vice-versa? I've heard it taught both ways, and usually heard girls coaches saying to start by opening the shoulders and boys coaches say to bring the legs together before...

    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...

    Coaches Stalder/Toe-on for Level 5 Bars

    Anybody have kids competing a stalder or toe-on instead of a free hip? If so, how are you training it? How's it working for you? What do you see as the advantages/disadvantages compared to a free hip? I have a few girls drilling towards them, but so far it looks like when competition rolls...

    Coaches Am I Teaching a Stalder Correctly?

    I've never taught one before. I'd like to have a couple of girls compete it in Level 5 if they get it. They already have the flexibility for it and we've been working sole circles, practicing the entry and compression, etc. They have press to handstand as well. I am currently having them do a...

    WAG Stalder vs. Stoop Circle to Handstand

    My dd has been having trouble getting her Stalder. She told me last night that lately she has been working on Stoop (Sole???) Circle to Handstand and has not been working on her Stalder. Would this be a replacement or an intermediate step? or would it be going a totally different direction? I...

    Coaches New level 5 bars. Clear hip/stalder/sole circle

    The new level 5 bar routine gives the option of clear hip, stalder, or sole circle. Are most gyms going to do the clear hip? How are you deciding which skill to do? Thanks:)

    Stalder

    I sort of had my stalder circle about a year ago but it was never very consistent. I know I need to drop in faster but I am to afraid to. I have The same problem with free hips and don't do them from a cast handstand anymore. Any drills/ideas for my stalder? My coach is pushing me to get it back...

    Stalder

    I've just started one of my girls working stalders, and she's having trouble turning it over enough in the bottom, so she always comes out way early. Anybody have any drills/tips/tricks for this?

    Stalder Press

    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. :)
