Still can't hollow out my handstand
I've been putting a lot of time in trying to hollow out my handstand more. I've mostly done this work against the wall since i can use it to open my shoulders more, but when freestanding, my shoulders still close up so much. i posted a pic to show the shoulder angle and back arch
the only way i can get straighter freestanding right now is to point my head straight down (and look the same direction as my belly button). this allows me to get my shoulders along/behind my ears. when i do this though, my wrists and shoulders tend to lock in place, and i can't adjust my balance with them.
i'm considering lowering the handstand work and focusing on planches (something i haven't worked on in a while) just to gain more strength in my shoulder flexors. i think that this could help resist my lats which are tight.
any thoughts on how to open my shoulders up?
