Handstand Training

Best focus on wall handstands – Try to make sure the body is stacked completely on top of the wrists! Using a bar can often help decrease some of the compression on the wrist that happens so often in the kids’ everyday practices (great place to reduce that pressure). Shoulders and chest slightly rounded with flat hips (avoid any kind of curl through the hips to create a pike or pulling the toes down). Thumbs over the bar can help the athlete feel control and balance. Head neutral with ears covered.
Also, we really love these @tumbltrak Adjustable Height Parallette Bars! Use the web address in our bio to check them out!

Hope this helps you and your athletes create their Best Darn Gymnastics!
