Forearm Supported Handstand
- This handstand variation requires a support to be placed at the base of the wall. The support should be about as tall as your forearms and sturdy enough to lean some of your weight into. Once the support is set, walk up the wall into a handstand. Stop when your hands reach the base of the support and your forearms are lightly touching its entire outer face. Slowly take your feet off the wall, achieve a straight handstand line, and press your forearms into the support, using it as a balance aide. Maintain a posterior pelvic tilt and hold for time.
