This is a great drill to increase wrist mobility and strength which is great for handstands or anything else that requires you to improve your wrist mobility and strength.
Side bonus.. if you are training for handstands, step 1 in this drill will really help with shoulder endurance too.
Step 1:
On all fours, with elbows locked and rotated backwards, lean forward as far as you can. Not to the point of pain but to the point of challenge.
Hold this for 2 minutes.
Step 2:
Push your fingers down into the floor for 20 seconds.
(Don't start by applying 100% of your strength, instead build slowly over the first couple of sessions).
Step 3:
Try to pull your fingertips back off the floor toward your forearm for 20 seconds.
That is one cycle.
Now lean further into the stretch if possible and repeat steps 2 and 3 for a 2nd cycle.
Perform 2-4 cycles before your handstand session and you will see an immediate improvement in wrist mobility and strength.
