Key points

• The movement is easier the closer your shoulders are to your hands in the bent arm handstand position
• Pushing away from the ground requires additional strength
• If you feel like you are losing your balance in the bent arm handstand, maintain the pushing motion with your arms and catch your fall with your feet
