Hi I've noticed the great influx of press to handstand questions and I have one that is a little specific. When I attempt a straddle press to handstand from a seated straddle, I have trouble. I round my upper back and it looks like I am trying to press up vertebrae by vertebrae. When I watch other girls do it, they keep their back moderately flat and press mostly through their shoulders rather than round their back. Any ideas why this is happening? I suspect that I have a weakness in a particular muscle group but I'm not sure which one.
 
Are you leaning your shoulders out past your hands? Arms bent or straight?
 
yes. my shoulders are past my hands and no my arms are straight
