GymnasticBodies.com - HS Wall Runs

HS Wall Runs are an excellent non-technical movement for increasing shoulder girdle strength and preparing the body for the rigors of more advanced HS and Press HS Work.

A essay detailing this element is available here:

What kind of mat is optimal for handstand work?? There are so many to choose from and I would like to know what to look for. Thanks!

[GymnasticBodies]

No special mats are required if you don't already have one, either a hard floor or carpet is fine to work on. In fact a firmer surface is much easier to make balance adjustments on.

what's a good amount of time or number of taps to start with?

[GymnasticBodies]

There are specific recommendations and guidelines available in an essay on HS Wall Runs available on the Gymnastic Bodies forum.

would this conditioning also help for the HS press (simple hs press)

[GymnasticBodies]

When you build up to 10 minutes of continuous HS Wall Runs, you will notice a SIGNIFICANT increase in Press HS strength.

Facing the wall gives a gymnast the right scooped shape in the upper and lower back. If you do it back against the wall your causing an arch and bad posture.
