The first four stunts of this series, the squat hand, the head, the forearm, and the hand balance form the basis for this progression. The hand balance is the most important one of the series. The remaining half of the progression is composed of variations of the hand balance that are important enough to deserve illustration.

The first three stunts develop the fundamentals of the hand balance, and the variations following it are for the purpose of strengthening and improving it. It takes several weeks for the average performer to get the feeling of balance in the inverted position and to develop the strength to hold it.
