Weekly Movement Tips ‼️
Shoulder Shrugs in Handstand: While in a wall handstand, perform small shoulder shrugs (scapular push-ups) to strengthen your stabilizer muscles for better balance.
To practice a shoulder shrug in a handstand, focus on actively pushing up through your shoulders as if trying to push away from the ground, keeping your core engaged, and ensuring your arms stay straight throughout the movement; start against a wall for stability, and visualize lifting your shoulders towards your ears while maintaining a neutral neck position
Key points to remember:🔥
Wall support: Begin practicing against a wall to maintain balance and focus on the shoulder movement.
Active shoulder engagement: Think about pushing your shoulders upward and away from the floor, not just lifting them passively.
Core stability: Keep your core tight to maintain proper body alignment.
Straight arms: Avoid bending your elbows during the shrug.
Neck neutral: Avoid cranking your neck up with the shrug, keep your gaze straight ahead.
Controlled movement: Slowly elevate your shoulders and then carefully lower them back down.
Progression tips:🔥
Start with a wall-supported handstand:
Once comfortable with the basic movement against the wall, gradually progress to freestanding handstands.
Shoulder mobility exercises:
Incorporate shoulder mobility drills to improve flexibility and range of motion before attempting handstand shrugs.
Pike position:
Try shoulder shrugs in a pike position (feet elevated) to further target the shoulder muscles.
BONUS STRETCH🔥‼️
Hamstring Flow Stretch: Use the “good morning” and standing toe-touch sequence to loosen your hamstrings. Bend your knees slightly if you feel tension in your lower back.
