In establishing the 101 of handstands, we start with the foundation of the castle, without which everything crumbles: the first stack.
The first stack is the position of the shoulders over the hands. While most people come with the preconceived idea 💡 that the arms should be perpendicular to the wall, they actually should be slightly past that vertical line, over the centre of the hands, or the first knuckles.
As we start learning our first drills C2W (chest to wall) and B2W (back to wall), pay attention to your first stack.
