Sounds silly for me to be asking this as a level 7 but I really suck at holding handstands. I am in the process of making goals for 2013 and one of them is to be able to hold a handstand without a wall for a minute.
At the moment I can hold for 10 seconds at best but that's it. My walking is good and I can normally do 1 row without coming down and sometimes two forwards and 1 row backwards. I'm almost positive my problem is my shoulder strength as since injuring my shoulder and doing intensive physio on it and lots of shoulder strengthening exercises I have found it much easier to hold.
Also sounds ridiculous but any tips on breathing properly upside down? I tend to hold my breath and something tells me this may be a problem when learning how to hold a handstand.
