In the handstand, a much weaker base supports the body while simultaneously raising the body's center of gravity a foot or more in a world turned upside down. Things don't get more foreign. When standing, the hip is the focus of control and leverage. When in the handstand, the focus shifts to the shoulder.

"The L-sit is performed by supporting the body entirely by the arms and holding the legs straight out in front. The leg's posture in the L-sit places an enormous, if not unbearable, moment or torque about the hip that must be counteracted by the abdominals to keep both the legs up and the spine from hyperextending.
