Working: Straddle Press

Though I could always "cheat" a straddle press from a high straddle, as out of tittibasana or supta kurmasana, I have always sucked at the full Stalder Press. Rather than starting from a (high) straddle, a good test of press strength is to start from a handstand, lower down, press back up. Boy, am I deficient (translate: weak).
