Guest Ido Portal Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 It is nice to see the following clip of a young gymnast performing a one arm handstand press on the beam.This exercise is a highly advanced one and requires special active flexibility (especialy in lateral movement in the spine) and strength, of course.Cfn2agQEOvA There are even people able to perform such a feat on the floor. One of them is Claude Victoria's best student - Eric. Ido. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikael Kristiansen Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 1 arm presses are extremely hard. I am working on them a bit now, and it takes a LOT of very specific training to get there. I can easily press 1 arm from standing on the floor, but being able to push through the bottom part is incredibly difficult. I work negatives a lot, which works very well, but I expect spending a long time training for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlon Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I just found this video the other day, between 0:30 and 0:40 one of the performers lowers down into a one arm straddle l-sit and then presses back up into one arm handstand from the floor.TGeu6c3KLTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the hand balancing act that i got to see about 60 times - . Its a different girl performing it now but the act is pretty much the same.
