we use to do those in southern praying mantis...those are pretty hard....

Im starting to do them again....

My trainer can do them with ease...he is 50 years old

man I tried one the other night.. not even close.. blance off.. can barely get my leg out.. I'd love to be able to do one eventually though

I started again and its hell to do...

I use the door way or a column for support (mainly balance)...

how far down are you supposed to go.. ???

 

[The Don]

all the way...

but try going as far as u can go and progress from there....

its a matter of building up till u can do them...

man I can see the benifits of these just by the motion.. These compared to those gymnastyic style hand stands (posted elsewhere) is a nearly complete work out...
