Handstand - Wall Facing Hold

Cues:

• Create a straight line from hands through shoulders into feet using the wall for balance

• Push up strong through the shoulders and keep the elbows actively locked for the duration of the set

• Maintain tension by flexing the abs, squeezing the glutes, quads and pointing the toes 

• Squeeze the legs together as if someone were trying to pull them apart

Mistakes:

• Breaking alignment by planching the shoulders forward, piking the hips, or allowing the body to sag

• Bent elbows or lazy sinking shoulders

• Maintaining a good shape, but being relaxed. This should be a very active and tight handstand position

• Counting mentally instead of using a timer to count accurate set duration
