Handstand Chest Roll
Once you have a solid handstand and handstand push-up, adding movement will intensify the full body awareness and control needed for the hollow back press range of motion. The Handstand Chest Roll is a hollow back press progression that utilizes some momentum to simulate the pressing strength needed through the HBP.
