How To
This exercise is great for increasing overhead strength, stability and body awareness. It replicates the handstand shape.
It helps prepare your body, so when you're in a handstand, you already have correct activation.
- Start with the band under your feet, shoulder width apart
- Squeeze the legs together and tuck your tailbone with a posterior pelvic tilt
- Brace stomach and reach as high as possible without losing stomach tension
- Once you get the band overhead, look between your hands.
This will help increase shoulder flexion strength and improve mobility for scapula upward rotation.
