Assisted Press Handstand Lift-Off (Partner Drill)
Assisted Press Handstand Lift-Off (Partner Drill)
Description
It can be a challenge to feel the moment of lift off in a press handstand, that moment where your feet float away from the floor can feel like a complete mystery even for someone quite strong and possibly even with a solid handstand. The lift off moment is the culmination of a unique combination of shoulder strength/position ( pooosh!), hip/spinal mobility ( hollow pike compression) and timing. It can be hard to find this moment/ engagement/ position since you've never been there, its a lot of exertion and it happens at a particular moment. This partner drill is a great way to slow that moment down, reduce the weight of the lift off and possibly find the feeling of "floating" and accumulate some very relevant time under tension.

Acro Washing Machines Series
A washing machine is series of acro poses strung together that start and end in the same place. In this series Sean and Emily teach 6 foundational washing machines that are common in many acro communities. There are an endless number of washing out there.

Tricky Acro Balances and Inversions
This series contains some fun and challenging balances for both base and flyer. These shapes can be made possible with patience and persistence. Of course, it does help for many of these poses if the flyer has some experience in how to invert themself, and the base can hold the flyer on one leg.

Jump to low H2H
The jump to low hand to hand is the most direct entrance to the skill and prepares the partnership for higher level hand to hand skills in both L-basing and standing acrobatics. In this video we review our thoughts on consistency of the grip, directionality of the jump and mindset/responsibilities for each roll.

Straddle Press
How to - Stalder Press
How To Stalder Press. In this short tutorial I show you 6 exercises you can do to work on your stalder press. Before you start working specifically on the stalder press, you should have a decent handstand, a normal handstand press, straddle L-sit and pancake stretch (check my other tutorials regarding these topics). Really focus on pushing your shoulders down to lift your legs up above your elbows. It's a lot easier to press from there. Exercise 4 (the stalder press cheat) helps a lot if you are not yet strong enough to get your legs above your elbows but you still want to get a feeling of pressing from the bottom up. Please make sure to warm up and prepare your wrists, shoulders etc. for these exercises! Let me know what you want to see next. If this was helpful for you and you'd like to support me, feel free to save this post and share it to other friends who could need some stalder press exercises or put it in your story. 🧡 Music: Paranoia - Alt Rock/Trap Style Hip Hop Beat / Prod.
