Hello,
as my main focus this year are parallettes, pike presses are a a natural part of that.
When doing these with the hand on the parallettes and feet on the floor (on the very tip of the big toes), I noticed something: my feet rise from the floor when I am on the deepest point of the eccentric so that I am airbourne for a brief moment. Is this a good thing/does it make sense? My rationale is that it might be beneficial since you are shifting more weight onto your hands which you also have to do when doing handstand presses on the parallettes. Or would it be better to keep the tiptoes on the floor throughout the whole movement?
