I am also trying to fix this problem. In addition to the points you mentioned, I think the main issue is a tendency to antipate the rotation of the legs (reasons: fear and/or lack of back flexibility), so that they pass too quickly through the handstand position, and there is really no chance to coordinate the courbette. I am thinking of working on: 1) trying to push back more when jumping, 2) posticipate a bit the recall of the legs and have more time to coordinate a powerful snap down. Also this problem seems more common in people who lack back flexibility, because in order to compensate for that they tend to invert more quickly. So it is important I think to make sure to be able to do a decent bridge.

Very useful video ,thank you so much

Thank you so much! I was a gymnast and bhs has always been my strong point, but I’ve been recovering from a major back surgery and my body completely forgot how to engage my shoulders and my upper back. I’ve had people tell me to do push-ups but it made my bhs worse and now I understand why, and I know how to fix it!

That’s how my back hand springs look cause I got mine yesterday

My snapdown is really poor, I cant get my hands off the ground before my legs hit. Any tips?

I think one more thing that is important is the jump. A jump on a backhandspring is rather backwards than going upwards.

In the example of the back handspring that was not good, the problem was from the beginning. You talked in your video about the block in the after the jump, however, the jump and the body position and angle are essential in the preflight. That's even more important in my opinion because if you do that wrong, then the rest of the back handspring is going to be wrong. Pushing back, having the right angle, extending and having the right body position and snap in that first flight is essential because it allows you to set yourself up to block and snap to the hollow position in the second part of the back handspring.

Great: very useful ❤️

this is probably really late but im trying everything to get my back handspring better. I look like that girl in the video to. any tips to get your legs together in a back handspring?

thanksss

This is helpful! I keep bending my arms when I land on my hands and I need to do these shoulder practices more.

viel Kraft gebraucht 💪

I have issues with jumping power.

How do I fix it when I turn

What drills can I do to stop my head from looking back when I start my bhs? I noticed I’ve been doing it recently and my bhs have gotten bad

Hi there if I could ask. About how long doing these drills will it take to see some improvement? I know it varies for everyone but I just want to be able to motivate myself to see some progress.

My round off backhand spring use to be good but idk what happened,my coach says it is to short so I collapse on myself and literally land where I started,I have tried making my round off longer and nothing has helped can you figure out what is wrong

I have a problem where after my roundoff, i aim at the sky and i kinda do more like a weird looking whip/backflip. I can do a roundoff and a backhandspring but i can’t combine them probably. Any tips?

How can I do a handstand block I'm horrible at it

I can backhandspring, but I just really can’t hold myself. For example, I land on my head even when I use all my power and strength. So now I’m scared to backhandspring because I think I’m going to land on my head and injure myself. Any tips?

I need to straight in my arms 😭😭

My hands go wide while doing continuous back handsprings

I'm trying to get my backhandspring but in the middle of it my arms bend no matter what drills I do or

Every human is stronger in their pecs, it’s not something that developed per say. It’s just an anatomical fact. Same happens with people training shoulders. Our bodies are designed for the pecs to want to take over and help . Anyway, that doesn’t change your good recommendation of handstand training. It’s another reason we arch from weakness just like when athletes do over head presses. Arching changes the angle and allows is to include the pecs some.

my legs come apart and bend , and my arms bend to it’s not pretty 😅

How do i stop piking

I have developed a habit to go sideways what to do?
