Tight shoulders and closed hips in the straddle handstand make the movement biomechanically complex. When the shoulders can’t fully open or the hips can’t externally rotate, the body finds a way to compensate - often by arching into the “banana.” The banana shape isn’t inherently wrong. It’s the body’s intelligent response to structural limitations. But if the goal is control, alignment, and effortless balance, those tight links in the chain need attention. Work on: • Shoulder flexion and thorac

Straddle Roll 💫 I love the powerful look of the straddle shape right before the roll—it gives the skill such a strong and beautiful feel. Here are a few quick tips to help it feel smoother: ✅ Always practice low with a crash mat and a spotter when you’re first learning. ✅ When getting in from a Russian Climb, sit your hips back and grab under your knees with thumbs pointing up. Avoid sitting your bum all the way on your heels—think a 90-degree angle. ✅ When opening to the straddle, keep your ch

How’d You Do? The straddle position is one of the best places to challenge and improve your mobility. Most people get stuck here because they can’t dissociate the hip from the pelvis — your hip rotation is the real limiter. Work on that and this position opens up fast. These are just a few of the many movements you can flow through from here. #movebetterlivemore #mobilitytraining #movementflow | The Movement Journey

A common struggle with seated leg lifts and seated straddle raises is cramping in the legs and in the hips If this is a challenge for you, try relaxing and resetting between each rep.Or, do a few reps at a time and before that cramp fully sets in, relax and reset. Getting good quality reps with good positioning is more important than banging out the reps. You can also try taking your shoes off just to lighten the load a touch. Give it a try, let me know how it goes! #strengthtraining #corestreng
