This Handstand Drills and Conditioning Book has extremely useful gymnastic drills for gymnasts learning the handstand and for more advanced gymnasts who need help with body tightness training. Gymnasts will practice getting tight and remaining tight, a requirement for so many skills in gymnastics.
Topics include: Specific Conditioning, Body Tightness, Handstand Shape, Keeping the Handstand Shape in Motion, and Planche Work.
The handstand is in the USAG TOPS Testing and the gymnastic compulsory routines because every gymnast must master the handstand. These gymnastic drills will improve the gymnast’s handstand and overall gymnastics performance. Without a good handstand a gymnast may have trouble building skills and therefore progressing through the gymnastics levels safely and efficiently.
Many of the gymnastic drills and conditioning exercises shown in this gymnastics book will help the gymnast learn to pull their lower abdominal section in while elongating their lower back for a straight and tight handstand position. Even at the optional levels the drills in this book will help the gymnast perform cast to handstand on uneven bars and remain tight for vaulting and tumbling.
The handstand involves so many muscle groups working simultaneously that it is often difficult for the new gymnast to fully master the handstand prior to being expected to perform even more difficult skills. Once mastered on the floor the gymnast will be expected to perform the handstand on balance beam and uneven bars. These drills will improve the gymnast’s handstand and overall gymnastics performance.

Press Release: Handstand Video Karen Goeller has
posted a new video on the Handstand Book page
that shows a gymnast demonstrating a drill she has required her gymnasts to
perform for many years. This drill is in her Handstand Drills and Conditioning
Book. The video shows one of Karen Goeller's athletes demonstrating a drill for
the cast handstand and clear hip handstand. It will help the gymnast become more
aware of body tightness and will help improve her upper body strength. This
exercise will also train the shoulder muscles for the last portion of the
movement performed in the cast handstand and clear hip handstand. Many gymnasts
do not train the last portion of the shoulder movement necessary for the cast
handstand and clear hip handstand. The gymnasts not training the full range of
motion often become frustrated when it takes a very long time to perform either
skill successfully. Many gymnasts believe that if they continue to attempt
either skill, often only reaching horizontal, that they will be able to
accomplish the full skill with these attempts. the reality is that they are only
practicing half of the range of motion necessary, therefore they are not
conditioning the muscles appropriately. The muscles must be trained to perform
the movements desired. The drill in this video will help train the final stage
of both skills. It is imperative that the gymnast train the entire upper body
range of motion in order to successfully perform the cast handstand and clear
hip handstand. This will allow a more speedy process with the gymnast's success
with these skills. The gymnast in the video performing the drill is a level 5
gymnast. By the time she must perform the cast handstand on her own she will
already have developed an awareness of shoulder position and much of the
strength necessary for the cast handstand and clear hip handstand. There are
many other drills and conditioning exercises that should be performed for both
the cast handstand and the clear hip handstand, but the drill demonstrated in
this video should be at the top of the list because it is very effective. There
are many other exercises available for the cast handstand and clear hip
handstand in the Cast Handstand Training Programs. They can be purchased through
the Animated E-Books page on the
website, www.GymnasticsStuff.com.
