Wall forearm stand

Technique

With fingertips at the wall, place the forearms and hands about shoulder width apart and spread the fingers.
Gaze between the forearms or wrists.
Lifting the hips, walk the feet in close, shifting weight into the forearms and keeping the upper back engaged and broad.
Lift one leg up to shift the weight into the arms even more, then kick off the base leg to bring the feet to the wall.
Using the wall for balance, work the actions of the shoulders as described below.

Full extension of the shoulder and external rotation of the upper arm is required here, otherwise the straight spine and balance will be difficult.
Avoid allowing the hands to slide toward each other and the elbows to slide away. Hug the elbows in and keep the weight over the forearms, pressing firmly to lift the shoulders away from the ears.
Keep the ribcage drawn in and the tailbone reaching actively toward the heels above.
Shift the gaze forward or back as needed to allow for good shoulder position and the feeling of broadening the upper back.
