handstands/elbowstands/iguana – flexibility issue?

I will also add that the iguana mount was the only move that I have learned that made my hands sweat! For some reason as soon as I got into that position the well started. I relied on gloves and grip aid and cannot tell you how many times I slid to the floor. I practiced the hold part of this out of a release and also bow and arrow before I ever tried the mount.

To build your strength try doing the moves in reverse. Start in a handstand, headstand, or whatever and slowly lower the legs down. This helped me get the lift up. If you are comfortable in your handstand you can even try lowering the legs to a sitting straddle position. Try to keep the feet from touching the floor until after your bottom is on the ground.
