The press to handstand movement, also known as the Olympic climb, consists of starting from a hip flexion position with the hands and feet on the ground and rising to the vertical position keeping the back vertical and the legs straight. In this program we will work on the flexibility, technique and strength necessary to perform this movement.

Press to Handstand

In this phase we will begin to work on the flexibility and strength necessary for the handstand press. If you need extra help with strength, use reinforcement routine 1 and if you need extra help with flexibility use the reinforcement routine 2.

Conditioning

In this phase we take a jump in intensity to make sure we have the necessary shoulder strength. Don't worry if the main routine is difficult for you at first. Gradually work it out slowly and improve. If you need one extra help with strength, use the reinforcement routine 1 and if you need extra help with flexibility use the reinforcement routine 2.

Shoulder strength

To complete this phase you must be able to control your handstand, while we continue to work on strength and flexibility.

Handstand control

In this phase you will be able to perform a handstand by strength, which will open the doors to be able to do the press to handstand. Also, as always we will continue working other exercises for shoulder strength and mobility.

Handstand by strength

In this phase we will begin to test the handstand press, but with the arms flexed, in preparation for doing it with straight arms in the next phase. Try to make your back as vertical as possible from the beginning, standing on your toes and making the most of your flexibility. You can try this movement on the ground, in push-up grips or trying both, according to your preference. Take advantage of the descent to work the negative. In this phase we will first perform the stretches to have a better conditioning at the time to try the press.

Press con flexed arms

In this phase we will already work the handstand press trying to do it with arms extended. Stand on your toes and use your flexibility to the maximum to keep your back vertical and your legs straight. Take advantage of the descent to work the negative. This movement you can do it on the floor or in push-up grips according to your preference. In this phase we will do the stretches first to have a better conditioning when trying to press.
