Last weekend I solicited my friend for some guidance. He trains in calisthenics and is a handstand master. He had a slightly different method for entering and exiting the pose. He uses the ‘egg’ formation to slowly press up rather than using momentum to kick up. This requires a ton of core strength to be able to do with control. He also said that he found it easier to take his palms slightly further than shoulder width apart and to rotate his hand out 45 degrees.
He gave me a good pep talk and then showed off by doing a handstand pushup 😉 Something for me to set my sights on once I get the handstand down. HA!
Nice to know there is always something further to aspire to.
