    WAG Are press handstands just allowed on beam as mounts?

    I have been thinking a lot if I should do a V-Sit or a press handstand mount on beam, because I like them both but am too weak to combine the two (like V-Sit to Press Handstand - can't get my feet through!). Now that I heard about the "Korbut flip" I was thinking if it was possible to do a...

    WAG Who has a press handstand on beam? I have a question!

    Today my coach spotted my straddle press handstand on beam. I did it "longways", on the narrow side, I don't know how I should explain that, but like where your hands are so close together that they are touching! Like this: He said this is super hard, because your hands are so close together...

    I have my standing press handstand. My goals are straddle lever to handstand and pike handstand. I wanted to work on it 3 times a week. But since some weeks I have groin and hip problems when I try to do a straddle lever. I am a little bit frustrated now because I can not train the straddle...

    WAG Press handstand help

    My daughter can't seem to put it all together. She can do the straddle press but then has to reposition her hands to get to the handstand. I feel like there may be a simple step she is missing but I have no clue. Any good tutorials or suggestions?

    Parents Press Handstand

    My youngest gymmie is five years old and she is on pre-team. While she is well beyond the other girls in her group in strength and maturity, she doesn't have all of the skills she needs to move up to the next pre-team group yet (she still needs her back hip circle). I suspect that this is mostly...

    Lever press handstand - why compulsory for GB level 3?

    As a spin off to an ongoing thread about these, I noticed that a US parent posted that her daughter is level 9 and can't do them. I thought they only went up to level 10 and that's when a college scholarship was a real possibility so I'm assuming their level 9/10 is more advanced than our level...

    Parents Straddle Press Handstand Question

    I was sitting at my kitchen table this evening working on my computer while DD was messing around in the family room. I looked up and watched quietly as DD completed her first straddle press handstand. It was a bit jerky but she did it all the way up to vertical. I jumped up and asked her to do...

    Parents Press handstand and age

    Is there a particular age that kids tend to get their press-handstands? They look awfully hard! Is it easier on a beam, or on the floor?

    WAG TOPS question about press handstands

    Is it 5 presses at state testing and 10 presses at National testing? I thought I read that somewhere, but now I can't seem to find that and I'm not sure if I'm just going crazy or not. Thanks!

    My daughter has been playing around with doing a press handstand than then piking through her hands to hold herself up off her floor beam. She saw the American Girl movie and said that was what McKenna does. She can't do it and I was teasing her telling her that her legs are longer than her...
