Core & Vertical Handstand

 

Remember Day 5 when we worked on shoulder protraction and did our first face-the-wall handstand. Well, we are employing the same shoulder engagement and doing the similar handstand variation today, with one difference -- we are aiming for a straight line (ie. no curvature in the spine). This will help you understand the core and shoulder engagement needed for a vertical line unsupported handstand. To prepare our bodies and build the muscular memory for this handstand, we first do an awesome core drill using a foam roller.
