Hi, I am no expert but in my earlier days of practice I used to hold

headstand and/or shoulderstand for up to twenty minutes in a

session. Now when you do that it builds up a foundation of strength

in the major muscle groups, mainly back and abdomen, but also the

bent position of the arms seems to favour bicep development over

tricep since they are extended. Makes sense? Keeping the bicep

moderately tensed as it is in headstand/shoulderstand should

certainly get rid of shaking sensations. I used to get that in my

thighs but they are much stronger now after achieving the 5 navasanas

(but not the handstand).
