Skill Improvement – Handstand Hold

August 23, 2022

A series of 5min sessions you complete at the start of your session to develop the ability to do something.

  • TEST: 5min to establish max unbroken handstand hold
  • SIP 1: In five minutes: Accumulate 90 seconds worth of handstands with back to wall and 90 seconds worth of handstands with front to wall. Alternate positions every time you break a hold. Keep hollow position and position hands as close to wall as possible.
  • SIP 2: In five minutes: Accumulate 90 seconds back to wall in a handstand and 90 seconds front to wall in a handstand. In both positions bring one foot off the wall and lightly tap one foot on the wall bringing it out to the other foot to find a balance point.
  • SIP 3: In a back to wall handstand, grip the fingers into the ground to pull both feet off the wall into a handstand, then return them to the wall. Progress by increase hand distance from wall. Complete three sets of five reps.
  • SIP 4 With a partner spotting accumulate as much time as possible in five minutes of freestanding handstand hold. Aim to minimise partner assistance.
  • SIP 5: In five minutes, accumulate 15 handstand kick-ups towards a wall. Aim is not to touch the wall but to stop just before heel contact and hold a static handstand.
