Four questions, then a week-by-week plan to your first supported headstand on an inversion bench. Built around shoulder-loaded benches, where your weight sits on your shoulders and your head hangs free.
Right side up, for now.
Answer the four questions and I will build the plan.
1. Have you been upside down before?
Supported counts. Be honest, the plan changes a lot on this one.
2. Can you set the bench up near a wall?
About eight inches out from it. It is mostly for your head, not your body.
3. How many days a week will you really do it?
Pick the number you will actually hit, not the one you want to hit.
4. Do any of these apply to you?
Inversions are not right for everyone. Tick anything that is true and the plan will say so at the top.
