Gymnasts Cast Handstand Tips

[Mthegymqueen]

Hello, I am currently working cast handstands, but I struggle to get my hips up before straddling and staying hollow (I keep arching). Does anyone have any tips or drills that could help me with this problem?

Thank you

If you're patient with this process, it's like a magic wand. Don't rush it, make sure you're comfortable on each step, but over time practicing p-bar swing progressions will make casts to handstand easy and consistent with what feels like minimal effort.
