Tuck handstand

Skill Tree

Muscles

Technique

  1. You should already be pretty comfortable with the regular Handstand before working on this one. Although the lowering of the center of mass makes balancing a bit easier, its anterior shift requires more strength and flexibility to be able to hold the position.

Form tips

  1. Aim to keep your shoulders open (180 degrees Shoulder flexion backward ), so that your wrists, shoulders and hips are all on one line. Due to the shift of the center of mass, that line will be slightly angled towards the back.
  2. Note: the current video does not demonstrate perfect form; the shoulders should be more open.
