Stalder Press Handstand

Technique

How to perform Stalder Press Handstand

1. Sit on the floor with your legs in a wide straddle and place your hands on the ground slightly in front of your hips, fingers pointing forward.
2. Lean your shoulders forward and depress them while engaging your core and squeezing your quads.
3. Press through your palms to lift your hips and feet off the floor without jumping, keeping your legs locked in the straddle.
4. Continue pressing as you rotate your hips up and forward, allowing your legs to sweep in a wide arc while your shoulders stay over your wrists.
5. Bring your legs together overhead to complete a straight handstand with elbows locked and body tight.
6. Lower under control or step down, then repeat for the prescribed repetitions.
