Compound · Weight × reps

Briefly lift the other hand to tap the opposite shoulder, replace it with control, and alternate sides. The drill develops handstand weight transfer, single-arm support confidence, shoulder and triceps endurance, and trunk control. Begin with small hand lifts or taps from a box-supported pike, widen the hands if needed, and use a padded clear area with a practised method of coming down.
