Strength
I’ve been practicing straight up handstand and scorpion handstand for years. It has remained difficult. I tried this pose last year, and was surprised that I was kind of able to do it. Today, it was easy. It was much easier than straight up handstand!
Sometimes after working in one direction for months or years, trying the same thing slightly differently makes all the difference;)

Congrats! Well done. It's quite an achievement. You put the rest of us to shame. Cheers!
It’s surp
That's awesome, i remember a time long long ago when i may have been able to do that, haha.
Keep at it, and you’ll do it. Practice
Not sure if this old body could get back into practicing lol. But hey I guess if one is alive there is plenty of time 😁
Yes there’s always time :)
Awesome !
Do you kick up to a handstand or do you do it more like a straddle press to handstand like a gymnast ?
I half kicked half pressed. I press in headstand and forearm stand easily.
perfect
Practice makes Perfect ...well done!
