• Elevated Press to Handstand This is one of my go to press to handstand progressions. I suggest starting with your feet higher so that your butt and feet are the same height. . The key is to push straight down and float your feet by rolling your butt up over your shoulders. The key to the press is to push down hard enough to float your feet. . For those less flexible (or working on a pike press) you may be tempted to break your line and lean your shoulders forward. This is more of a planche technique and while not bad, will not lead to the press that I am doing. Train for the technique that you want to be able to do. . Now for the pike (and for the straddle if your middle splits sucks) your butt will need to be further over your hands in order to float. But keep pushing down and don't break your line:) . As always landing on a cat is not advised. . #presstohandstand #dontlean #pushdown #watchthecat
