I began with hip movements and balance exercises, alternating legs to improve mobility. I started with free attempts at handstands, focusing on balance. I practiced the technique with my hand cupped to understand my center of gravity and body movement. Noticing that I was losing control in some sets, I decided to use the wall to work on proprioception. This helped me a lot in understanding the necessary alignment. I felt quite good during the attempts and always sought stability before releasing my support.

I like to do one or two repetitions interspersed, holding a regular handstand for several seconds. In these attempts, I open my legs into a straddle position, as I find it easier to balance my weight and gradually accustom my body to the movement. After the free attempts, I moved on to alternating arm exercises in a pike position using a chair. This exercise simulates the load of a one-arm handstand and helps specifically strengthen the supporting shoulder.

To finish the session, I performed shoulder presses against the wall in a handstand position. This exercise is fundamental because it strengthens the push needed to support the entire weight on one arm. I feel it was very positive to resume this practice after some time without consistently training the element. I will explain more technical details in another post soon, but for now I am focused on consistency to master it soon. I felt very satisfied with the work I did at home. Don't miss my next posts.
