Handstand Hold

IntermediateBodyweight

The handstand hold is an isometric shoulder exercise where you simply maintain an inverted position against a wall. Holding still under load builds strength and stability through the shoulders while training your balance and body awareness upside down. It's a strong foundation for more advanced handstand skills.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand facing a wall that will help you balance.

  2. 2

    Place your hands just outside shoulder-width, about a foot from the wall.

  3. 3

    Kick your legs up and catch yourself with your feet against the wall.

  4. 4

    Straighten your arms, torso, and legs into a tall line and hold for the set time.

  5. 5

    Keep a slight bend in your elbows to ease the strain on the joints.

  6. 6

    Shift your weight off the wall gradually to find your balance point.
