SHOULDERS
Partner Handstand
The partner handstand uses a spotter to hold your legs, making the handstand far more approachable while you build the strength for it. It loads the shoulders, triceps, and core, and the support helps you develop confidence and balance upside down. It's a good stepping stone toward a free-standing handstand.
How to do it
- 1
Partner 1 stands near Partner 2, adjusting the gap for their height.
- 2
Partner 1 places both hands on the floor shoulder-width apart, about a foot in front of the partner.
- 3
Partner 1 shifts weight onto the hands and raises one leg behind them using the glutes and hamstrings.
- 4
Partner 1 kicks the other leg up so both legs are overhead; Partner 2 grabs the legs to steady them.
- 5
Hold the balanced handstand with the partner's support.
- 6
Partner 1 lowers one leg at a time to return to standing, then partners switch roles.
