Handstand Practice and Spotting Pt.2

Get our #1 movement progressions app - The GWOD Spot - now available in the iTunes (is.gd/GWODSpot_..., Google Play (is.gd/GWODSpot_..., and Kindle (is.gd/GWODSpot_...) App store!
Next, Carl and Adam demonstrate how to do partner spotting to help guide the athlete to tuck up to handstand. The tuck up is a key drill to work on solo and with a partner, as it helps to train you to always lock out your arms and push away with your shoulders. Only then will you feel like you have a solid foundation with your hands to the ground to be able to extend your legs up into a full handstand.

There is no set duration to practice these. Even after the skills are mastered, athletes should revisit the drills and basic skill components to ensure the foundation for the movement is still there.
We now have some playlists that link up the videos in a pretty good order starting with the kick up progression moving through handstand walking.

He kinda reminds of a more fit and nicer acting Nick Swardson...just enough comical comments to make the videos a little humorous and interesting
