Witch handstand
Advanced10 repsJumping
How to do it
- Start by placing both hands on a single parallel bar or fixed bar, with a firm grip and your thumbs wrapped around the wood or metal.
- Keep your arms fully extended and your elbows locked.
- This is your starting position.
- You can reach the position by jumping up or starting from a regular handstand and switching one of your hands.
- Since the support surface is so narrow, you need to focus your balance on the pressure of your palms and constant adjustment of your shoulders, keeping your body in a straight line with a slight posterior pelvic tilt.
- Hold the position aiming for maximum stability and control the swings by making micro adjustments with your grip, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and hips.
