Instructions

Before attempting this movement, be super comfortable bailing on a parallette handstand. Also being able to perform a handstand from a bent arm tuck planche position will help tremendously.

1. From an L sit position on parallettes, transition into a bent arm tuck planche
2. Kick your feet up simultaneously and push up into a handstand position, use the momentum of your kick to help drive you upwards into a handstand
3. Control your balance at the handstand position, slowly descend back down into the L sit
4. You can repeat this exercise for reps

Key points

• Timing your push up with the kick up will help you transition into the handstand
• Keep your core tight to help stabilize your line as you transition into the handstand
• As you are kicking up, lean forward to help counterbalance your weight as you balance into the handstand
