chest stand handstand
A difficult contortion position combining both a chest stand and a handstand in which the performer bends their back so that their legs are in front of their head while also lifting their whole body off the ground using their hands or elbows.
It is similar to the scorpion pose, however two thigs are fundamentally different:
- The performer is always balancing themselves on their hands or elbows
- The positioning of the legs in front of the head is a result of bending the back rather than bending the legs
