*DESCRIPTION*
Just as the one arm pull up develops superior pulling strength within the shoulder, the one arm handstand (OAHS) develops superior shoulder elevation. Advanced shoulder elevation improves the stability of the shoulder in movements such as the snatch and jerk portion of the clean and jerk, think of when framing from the bottom position in Jiu Jitsu or perhaps your planche work will feel the greatest benefit.

The point I am trying to make (with Kane's help) in this video is that the OAHS requires excellent shoulder elevation. By the time you can OAHS you already have the advanced ability to elevate. Therefore, if we break down the OAHS into its assistance exercises and scale them to a beginner level. You can gain the physical benefits of the OAHS without necessarily carrying through with acquiring the skill.

NOTE: The OAHS is an advanced bodyweight skill. The exercises in this video assume you have a decent handstand i.e. Can you hold a handstand for 30 seconds without taking any 'step' with your hands? Can you align your body i.e. if you film your handstand from side on, could you draw a straight line (roughly) from your feet to knees to hips to shoulders to hands?
