About Handstands and Push Strength

This session is all about handstand fundamentals and beginner-friendly pushing exercises to build strength, control, and body awareness.

We’ll cover everything from basic movements to more advanced progressions, gradually introducing you to intermediate-level exercises. Expect a mix of focused drills, including:

  • Wrist preparation and shoulder activation
  • Introduction to handstands: crow hold and balance awareness
  • Parallel bar support holds, dips, and controlled eccentrics
  • Pike push-up mechanics and technique refinement

Whether you’re working towards your first freestanding handstand or looking to improve strength and control on the bars, this session will help you build a strong foundation and clear path forward.
