Thank you for answering my question :) one last question though.... if Im having trouble kicking up, is there anyway I can practice kicking up? Would I need to build more lower body muscle?

[LegendaryStrength]

@yansl14 Just doing the kickups will practice though I do have some specific techniques. I'm sure you have all the strength and muscle you need for this move, its just learning to use it.

I think I am shifting, which muscle do I use to become more vertical or preventing any shifts? It seems like when I do get up there, its by chance.

@yansl14 Its not so much muscle being used as body shifting to keep your weight back. Just keep your arms perpendicular and don't let them move from that position. With a little practice you'll get it.

Dear Legendary Strength,

I'm just starting to do handstands against a wall, I was able to do it sometimes but sometimes my back hits the wall first, what do you think is wrong? Thank you!

[LegendaryStrength]

@yansl14 Your feet should hit the wall first. One, try moving your hands out a little further from the wall. Two, get your body more vertical when you kick up. The arms should stay perpendicular to the ground the whole time and your body rotates around. It sound like your shifting forwards.

*sorry I meant my shoulder/back

@newbboyer Try pushing your head back through your arms as if opening up your chest more.
