Shoulder strength seems to be the main factor for achieving a human flag. I was wondering if there is some number relative to the bodyweight that indicates when one's press trengthstrength is ready to try a human flag. E.g. you should start training the human flag on a bar when you can move 0.7 times your bodyweight in a standing press. Or even: You need at least 0.8 to do a human flag.
