I need to see this in action to understand what you are saying. Thanks for the tips!

@@mitchellbenoit6243 Focusing on handling the weight in the hands, making it feel natural, not letting pain go over a 3 out of 10. Elephant walk = Get into a downward dog and just walk around your room forwards and backwards. Bear crawl = Google for images, but it's crawling with your knees slightly above the floor. One step down would be crawling or knee pushups with the knees and/or shins resting on the floor. Even lighter than this would be to just place your hands gently against a wall. Some days, just trying to extend the hand flat like this is hard enough. If your wrists are really off, just crawling on your forearms to condition the shoulders and back. Handbalancing is really irritating on the wrists, especially as you are transitioning into harder skills where you can't control the positioning of the weight in your palms. It's almost like you're rolling your ankle; the weight shifts suddenly to the edge of your hand, and you hurt yourself. Some days you have to go to a really basic progression from the inflammation. This happens especially first thing in the morning, after a lot of computer/phone/gamepad use, after a night of poor sleep, or after taking a long break from training. The idea is to always have a progression that is light enough that is pain-free or low-pain that you can use to promote healing. From completely unusable wrists all the way up to a pain-free planche/press. I've made more gains from gentle, frequent crawling than from months of sending it on progressions that I can accomplish, but are too painful and take days/weeks to heal.

​@@AlainLeonCan't agree more. Discoverd this the hard way when I take a step back to find out what retains me back and yes I was lacking strength in my shoulders and my wrists were aching because I didn't give them the chance to adapt through progressions. After a long journey in strengthening all weak parts in the gym and some animals flows like you said and also flexibility work am recently back to handstanding and yes now am seeing great progress. Everyone is different and must progress slowly while working on weakness.

Yeah keep working the flexibility and strength, don't force the position
