"We're taking out the first few inches of the press to give ourselves the ability to get to that stacked position." Coach David Durante takes a group through a drill to progress towards a press to handstand.

A bumper plate is a simple tool with which to get an athlete to feel the proper body position needed for a handstand, says CrossFit Level 1 Seminar Staff member Camille Leblanc-Bazinet. With a bumper plate held overhead, the athlete will learn to squeeze his butt and bring down the rib cage with the abs, eliminating the excessive lower-back arch often seen in inverted athletes.
