Wall T-handstand

Also known as: Wall one-leg L-handstand.

​

Technique

1. Place your hands away from the wall, at a distance equivalent to the length of your legs.
2. Place one foot on the wall behind you, at around the same height at your hips.
3. Extend that leg to place your hips above your hands.
4. Align your arms, your back and your free leg on a vertical line.
5. Hold that position for time and then repeat on the other side.

​

Form tips

• The most challenging part is generally to maintain alignment between your back and arms. This requires sufficient shoulder flexibility and enough strength in the upper back to open your shoulders ( Shoulder flexion backward).
