The Press to Handstand builds on a combination of shoulder strength, leg flexibility and technique.

Hitting all of these 3 aspects in one training session ca be tricky but that’s what I think makes training and especially programming so much fun.

Start by warming up well and train your handstands. Follow this with hamstring stretches, coordination drills and press specific conditioning. Alternatively you could also train your handstands and do the shoulder heavy conditioning work in 1 workout and the stretches and compression work in a separate workout.

Pretty much everyone working towards the press either lacks hamstring flexibility or shoulder strength strength. Continue working on your strength but invest at least twice the attention and effort towards your weaknesses.
