Скачать или смотреть Handstand Shoulder Openers

“Work on your abs!“ Is something that I hear far too often when athlete do a banana handstand. If anyone ever tell you to do more core to fix your handstand please do yourself the favor and simply unfriend them on Facebook.

Your core is almost never the problem. When it comes to handstands the issue usually lies in the shoulders. I say it all the time:

You have to push out tall.

If you sink into your shoulders they close and create an angle. As a natural reaction to this angle your back arches to keep your body on top of your hands.

Straighten out your shoulders to straighten out your back. We always have to fix the root of the problem instead of medicating trying to numb the symptom.

Just opening your shoulders is not enough. Even more important than this straight line is a tall line. We have to elevate the scapula to create a healthy and efficient position!

Many athletes have shoulder mobility limitations. Combining static and dynamic stretches with specific activation work will teach you to elevate your scapula within just a few weeks and help you build additional mobility in the long run. Combine both for best success!
