Hip Flexors & Advancing the L-Shape Handstand

We are back to strengthening our hip flexors (and abdominals). The term “banana back” applies to the overly extended spine in handstand. Often, if you tend to “banana back” it could be due to 1) little to no engagement in the abdominals; 2) an overly extended spine; or 3) limited shoulder flexion. So let’s work on zipping up the abdominal wall and bracing through the core. Bananas are meant to be eaten...not emulated.
