Handstand Flag

The Handstand Flag is an advanced handstand drill that unites a solid handstand with advanced strength and mobility through the obliques and hips.

Begin in a free handstand and straddle your legs apart wide.
Pike your hips slightly so that your feet come just in front of your hips (not down, just forward).
Drop your right leg sideways toward the floor without actively lifting your left.
As your right foot lowers down to the side, allow your left leg to rise naturally and your right knee to bend comfortably.
Keep your upper body completely fixed and stable and lower your right toes to the floor just outside your right palm.
Return to the straddle handstand and continue to switch sides for reps.
