Description

Stalder Press is a gymnastics exercise that involves lifting your body into a handstand from a straddle sit position, using your hands for support.

How to Do Stalder Press

1
Setup
Begin in a straddle sit on the floor, legs wide and straight, with your hands placed on the floor slightly outside your hips, fingers pointing forward or slightly outward.
2
Setup
Lean your torso forward, shifting your weight onto your hands, engaging your core and pressing firmly down through your palms.
3
Maintain straight arms and legs as you slowly lift your hips off the floor, keeping your legs straddled and your body in a hollow or slightly piked position.
4
Continue to press down through your shoulders and push through your hands, gradually bringing your straddled legs together overhead as your hips rise, until you reach a stable handstand position.
5
Control the descent by reversing the movement, slowly lowering your straddled legs back to the floor with precision and control.

Tips

Focus on extreme core engagement throughout the entire movement to maintain a stable body line and prevent arching or sagging.
Practice foundational movements like straddle compression and pike presses to build the necessary strength and body awareness before attempting the full Stalder Press.
Keep your arms locked and straight throughout the entire press; bending your elbows reduces leverage and makes the movement significantly harder and less efficient.
Utilize parallettes or a spotter initially to assist with hand placement, provide a higher base, and ensure safety as you learn the complex coordination required.

Common Mistakes

×Bending the arms too early reduces your mechanical advantage; focus on keeping your elbows locked and actively pushing through your shoulders to maintain straight arms.
×Losing core tension by arching the back or letting the hips drop compromises the lift; actively brace your core and maintain a hollow body position throughout the entire movement.
×Not leaning forward enough makes it impossible to lift your hips; ensure your shoulders are positioned well in front of your hands at the start of the press to create proper leverage.
