Written By

The wall facing tuck hold develops compression mobility and pushing strength through the upper back for the handstand and is helpful for building pressing capacity.

Cues:

  • Bring the knees below hip level

  • Keep eyes on the floor

  • Push up like your life depends on it

  • Place hands as close as possible to wall while achieving the first three cues and keeping the elbows locked

Mistakes:

  • Planching the shoulders forward

  • Reaching through the arms with the neck towards the wall

  • Placing the hands far from the wall and making it easy
