Pike wrist taps are a great warm up exercise prior to training the press to handstand. It is also a great conditioning exercise to finish any handstand training session.
Cues:
- Keep elbows locked and press through shoulders
- Only tips of toes should touch floor
- Majority of weight should be supported through the hands
Mistakes:
- Having more weight on feet than hands
- Bending elbows
- Excessive Planching
Scaling:
- Place block between wrists and feet to decrease range of motion as necessary
