BAThis exercise is aimed at more advanced students, but we still offer two variations so it’s accessible and progressive. The main focus is shoulder isolation, always connected to an active shoulder push and chest compression.
Throughout the exercise, focus on keeping the shoulders stable:
do not let the shoulders move forward as you go up, and when you land on the wall, avoid letting them shift back. It’s essential to keep the weight in your fingertips at all times.
First variation:
Start by jumping without too much height. Land on the wall while maintaining all the key elements—shoulder push, isolation, and chest compression. From there, walk your feet up the wall, then jump back down with control.
Second variation (more advanced):
Challenge yourself to arrive fully in handstand, landing with only one foot on the wall. Throughout the entire movement, make sure the configuration below stays consistent: active shoulder push, isolated shoulders, and strong chest compression.
Repeat each variation up to five times, and perform two to three sets within your training.
