Inspiring! Ripping the floor apart is definitely a nice cue. I think, transition movements like this depend heavily on body proportions so what works for one won't work for another. I don't work on this skill anymore, but as I remember, because of my short thighs compared to my torso, I needed a very strong spinal forward bend to reach my armpits with the knees. Because I liked working on it with the arms almost straight (I think it just looks better) my spine was more horizontal than vertical, where untucking doesn't help much, maybe at the very end.
How interesting, thank you for sharing your expereience. I agree that it works a bit different for every person's body. The "untucking" I find is present in most leverage moves though because it "braces" the torso as a counter movement to the round or flat back. If you apply the untucking to more than just the lower back it makes the torso rigid and helps the arms to lever it, in the straddle lever for example together with the sideways rip of the arms. Best wishes for your training.
Useful tricks, thanks! I achieved this move after a lot of working months but never thought about going back to crow once in a HS position. Also your have a crow with arms are quite straight, that I can't hold. Instead mines are very bent and therefore I rely a lot on strength to get up. I admire your flow as always!
Thanks for the tip about rotating the arms inwards made my decent slow down on the eccentric. I was stuck with the coordination technique aspect in a long periode of time with the eccentric part of the movement. But last question is is crow press to handstand considered a beginner version of the easiest level of press handstands? Later for building up to advanced version as flexibility strength gradually builds up over time
Happy to hear you refined your movement so well. I would say crow to handstand prepares you for a handstand push up which is quite different from a press to handstand. but of course it helps you to build overall upper body strength so that is good. For a press you also need to work on good leg compression.
Hello, thank you for your effort. I have a small request. Is it possible to set classes specifically for stretching and its types and when do we practice each type before, after and during the class? Thank you. Best regards, Sidali.🌹🌹🌹🌹
Hello and thank you for the request. In general I would say do a few quick stretches for legs and shoulders before your practice and then do stretching sessions seperately. with more focus on specifics. Here are a few stretching classes I have for handstand realted flexibility: ua-cam.com/video/csdetAjEums/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/vcJ6rHoyUbk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/WlhIdWuNg98/v-deo.html
That upside down "untucking" butt swing is a mysterious move. Sometimes I can do it, and it feels strong and controlled (mostly in headstand, I don't dare try it in handstand), but more often it's like I'm paralyzed and regardless of what signals my brain is sending just nothing is happening at all. I suspect there are some muscles (lower back? upper back? psoas?) that can just get knocked out from overexertion? Or maybe antagonist muscles that get stuck and prevent the move? The butt then becomes sort of a dead weight which can't be moved around. I still don't understand which specific exercises helped improve it at least a bit. And it often takes multiple days of rest for me to regain that control.
What helps me with that bit is if you can imagine the sensation of pressing a squat through your thighs you will be moving your legs in a similar way so pressing your feet up into a straight handstand might help you if you have a hard time telling your body how to move
I find the more you keep the ribs really flat, the more likely you to do the untucking properly. Ideally ripping the floor apart makes you "brace" the back and stabilizes the torso. This can feel a bit like: round the upper back but arch the lower back" the two antagonizing movements "brace" the upper back and make it strong for pushing like in the stalder press. -- Pressing the legs into a squat is also good.
@@NatalieReckert love your content, it's helped me more than anyone else has and made me really enjoy hand balancing when I only started to do handstand push-ups. I don't know if you've ever tried but you would be very talented in calisthenics
jajajajaj SE ve facil,, pero sabemos que no lo es, voy a intentarlo,, gracias bella. hahahahaj. it looks easy,, but we know it's not, I'll try, thanks beautiful
You make it look so easy!
I try ;)
wow !! you make it seem effortless !!!
I love the transition from crow into handstand! But often lose strength/cntrol half way up. Thanks for the tips.

Very well executed and explained ! Thank you
Thank you so much for your quick tutorial ! It makes sense with the arm
Thanks, some nice new cues to explore.
Enormously useful details! Thanks!
Thank-you - this guide helped me get the movement
Thank you so much for this! I really appreciate the support. Best wishes, Natalie
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting.
