Cues:
- Create a straight line from hands through shoulders into feet using the wall for balance
- Push up strong through the shoulders and keep the elbows actively locked for the duration of the set
- Maintain tension by flexing the abs, squeezing the glutes, quads and pointing the toes
- Squeeze the legs together as if someone were trying to pull them apart
Mistakes:
- Breaking alignment by planching the shoulders forward, piking the hips, or allowing the body to sag
- Bent elbows or lazy sinking shoulders
- Maintaining a good shape, but being relaxed. This should be a very active and tight handstand position
- Counting mentally instead of using a timer to count accurate set duration
