Paul, can u make videos about straightening the elbow during HS, i found that difficult whereas my elbow is freaky hypermobile, btw nice video 🔥🔥

[@PaulTwyman]

Yes hands and elbows could be a good subject

[@jmvk]

I also can't seem to straighten my elbows no matter how hard I push.

[@covingtoncreek]

@@jmvk One thing that helps with that is to place your hands down in the proper position, and then rotate your elbow from side to back, so your biceps is facing forwards. Hopefully that makes sense. Fingers forward to slightly out, elbows extended but biceps forward, rather then turned in as many folks do.

Banana straight

[@mathias2410]

Doing these thorax mobility drills I feel pain in my shoulders. What should I do? And as you said. When I try to straiten my shoulders and thorax my hip starts tilting anteriorly automatically.

[@PaulTwyman]

Decrease the intensity by using a smaller roller or by raising the hips on a block. You could also try a position with wider or bent arms. It means you are trying to open at shoulders instead of thoracic. Same for the hip tilt, means you are winding it up too much. Hope that helps

[@mathias2410]

@@PaulTwyman Thank you for your advice. Great tutorials as always. I just filmed myself and my handstand is banana grande. I will keep churning on with these great mobility exercises you supply us with.

What are you thoughts on broomstick shoulder dislocates for overhead mobility for handstand

[@PaulTwyman]

I’m not a fan for handstands, I’m terrible at them and need very wide hands to do 1 rep (very end of a broomstick) but my handstand is much straighter than other people I know that can dislocate well

[@LeoTaxilFrance]

You are NOT in banana posision. Your back is straight. Your chest is straight. They both "should" be bent. But you just bend your legs. The difficulty for people like me consists exactly in the fact that my body takes the form of a banana without asking me for permission, from its own initiative to stay in balance. And as I try to unfold my chest/back it punishes me throwing the body out of balance, especially backwards.

[@PaulTwyman]

This is as round as my spine goes :) Most people initially learn to Handstand with closed shoulders and chest facing down. Then the only way to balance with this base is to arch the body over in someway. My body has very little arch into extension so it’s looks more like straight lines with hinges. I would still use the same methods to slowly straighten

[@ملتقىدجلةوالفرات]

You don't even have a Banana handstand even when u try 😂😂 you don't have that tilt in ur hips. But for me i have a big tilt in my hips and lordosis in my lower spine 🤔

[@PaulTwyman]

Yeah find your good and banana handstand. It will be different for everyone
