I have not started learning cast handstands yet but I will be starting in about 3-4 months. Is there anything I can do at home or in the gym to strengthen the "right" muscles that will help me to get hit the handstand faster once I start learning?

So far, I can do about 10 pike push-ups, I can hold a tuck planche for 30secs, I can do a standing straddle press handstand (almost from sitting) and I can do several (maybe 6 or 7) pike presses in a row against the wall.

Every help appreciated
 
That's probably fine for a straddle cast HS.

Parallel bar swing to HS, build this up eventually and have a coach spot this.

HS Leglifts either free standing or against a wall. Start off with headstand and/or against wall and build up to bent arm HS against the wall progressively.

Reverse Leg lift to Locust on a vault table or beam or pommel horse.

Beam deductions

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some help understanding my deductions on beam. I’ve been watching my videos back, but I’m having trouble figuring out exactly where the judges are taking the most off. If anyone is willing to take a look and give me some feedback, I’d really appreciate it. I’m especially curious about execution deductions, rhythm/connection issues, and anything in my acro or dance that might be costing me. The judge started me at a 10 for this routine, and I got a 9.1
