- OA press on the floor - This has been one of my long term goals which may or may not happen… I have been continuously exploring this skill from all angles: Mobility, technique, strength (lots of it), and I have indeed made some gains over the years. I have to say though that it is one of “those” skills… From my experience, people who actually do this skill (Pressing from One Arm Vsit, into a OAHS) are often “built for it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not getting into the excuse zone” here but simply stating what I have noticed over the years during countless encounters with professional handbalancers and acrobats. With certain skills (such as this one), some people have it easier than others. Mobility, strength, technique are variables that can be dealt with... Genetics/talent/body proportion, on the other hand can make it almost impossible to achieve certain skills for some people... Depressing? Naah… Whether achieved or not, the process through which I have gone through while exploring my limits and limitations is more valuable than actually doing this glorified party trick. So continue searching and exploring your limits in this little HS journey you got yourself involved with (or not)... some great stuff is waiting to to be found along the way... Flying to the Netherlands tomorrow morning for a weekend of handstands! Get ready for lots of time spent on your hands my Dutch friends! Cheers, Yuval
