YESSSS so happy for you! Amazing perseverance and I'm so glad we met & that I could help you out!
So glad that we met! Thank you for your incredible coaching to help me get over the hump!!
What is push block save?
What would you say is your best tip for finding that balance point when upside down Anna?
@@sakuragi_hanamichi3263 I googled it for you :)
Push - When in HS push your STRAIGHT body down by using your metacarpals and fingers
Block - When in handstand your partner takes you off balance and brings your body towards himself and YOU block
Save - HS, partner gently pushes you away off center, you save it by elbows in-arms and shoulders in-stretch-reach-push away from floor to ceiling
@@LazzevanderZee thanks a lot
Respect for your honesty and authenticity and for not making another "learn to handstand in 5 minutes"-video!
@Jack Johnson can u do a handstand now?
It really depends. I've known friends who learned the handstand in 30 minutes from bone dry. Not Olympic quality. But they could balance themselves.
Mine is still pretty trash. I think its because we all have different motor skills.
@@ralphwarom2514 that's almost impossible, our muscles need months to learn that were being upside down
@@youwantmyname9208 Not really. I'm not one of them, but I've noticed a lot of people have pretty high "body iq". Im sure there is a better word for it.
But they learn how to dance, move, and perform tricks really fast. As I said, I'm not one of them. Its just that physical learning vaires alot between different people.
@@ralphwarom2514 yeah but that requires a lifestyle like that. People who don't do stuff like that often will take a long time. I'm confident that it wouldn't take me too long to learn how to handstand
did this rock climber just say, "the fear of falling."?
I love climbing and I have a fear of falling. (I climb trees more than rock walls, though, so I climb down instead of drop down, of course)
Simply one more reason to grab those wall crevices...
The best climbers are those who are most afraid to fall - they are holding onto wall like it is their last time ...
Cameron Thom yes. Cos it’s called rock climbing. Not rock falling.
@@filthymcnastyazz HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAH MADE MY DAY
Fear is good, usually. Keeps you from making stupid decisions.
“Average guy”, is a rock climber and can do a few muscle ups
He is super horrible at handstands though. If you're not overweight, you can get a 10 seconds handstand in a month easily doing only the exercise he shows at 3min. It's the best exercise imo, but you need a friend in the beginning holding you so that you don't fall over. :)
@@philippdrescher6012 nope
@@philippdrescher6012 takes longer than une month for the majority of people
@@lenrobphoto89 when i was 16/17 i learned it alone not even practicing, now i bet i will take more than 1 month
but still believe it is achievable in less time for alot of people, even for me if i truly focus. it all depends on ppl dedication
@@wolololer yep. I practiced handstand for 14 days and got it. But I learned banana handstand walk before 2 weeks
Him at day 1: doesnt even bother to use a mat or cushion
Me at day 1: stacks of cushion
using cushions limits your ability to stabilize yourself using the fingers, wouldn't recommend, at least not a soft mat.
Pussy
I dont use it too but it doesn't hurt just try to squat while falling from a handstang idk up to you
Next video: This Average guy wins the olympics.
Then: watch this Average guy jumping from one galaxy to another.
Finally: This Average guy destroyed the universe with just one punch.
PAPA DANKI hahahahhaha lmaoooaooaoa
This guy gets bald and defeated a 4th dimension creature
f*ck me, you rock
Before that, he has a video with the title, I got bald today
More like: this average guy learned to jump
It's just a damn handstand and it took him half a year... not impressive at all
Total amateur learns one arm front lever, sends V14, and ends world hunger.
HAHAHAHAHAHA made my day, thank you g
Haha is one arm front lever even possible?
Geek Climber no its not, its a joke “average guy”
a one arm front lever is possible, there are a lot of videos on youtube of people doing it with pretty good form
Good example of a oafl is Daniels Laizans
For anyone who's working on doing a handstand (I'm currently working on it and making great progress) but this is a warning/lesson for those who may need a reminder: If you're fatigued don't continue and if you aren't strong enough for certain progressions WORK UP TO THEM. You will severely hinder your progress if you do so and injure yourself (like I did). It's OKAY you can't do a progression yet, be consistent with lower ones and work up (wall handstand holds, pike push ups, pseudo planche, frog stance, etc). Do not rush yourself and be patient with where you are.
So basically you just have to do 2 days of training session with Anna
nope))you have to be fit enough
Lol😂 Anna magic. He was prepared when he met Anna you know having strengthened his arm via push ups and other techniques
Dude your gonna have to drop “average” from the title of your vids! Your a beast now
Haha, the “average” I put this time refers to my crappy push strength.
@@GeekClimber If you could do 30 push ups you are not average.
Shrinath Poojary I can do 50 and I’m 13 mate
@@RebornKaotic I can only do 30 in one set
@@RebornKaotic
What an achievement...
When I was nine y.o. I learned handstand in three days, then stopped doing it because "duh, too easy". God darn my child mentality. Now I'm trying to relearn it hahaha
I was fascinated by my uncle's ability to walk on his hands. I hadn't considered it before watching this video, but that would be a fun goal to personally aim for.
Same i could also do a backflips and frontflips but now i can not do anything
I feel like i was more brave back then
Same lol. I could even walk on my hands and do quite a bit of the things calisthenics people do but now, wtf I didn't realize it's suppose to be hard, as a child it was fairly easy. Anyone else used to do the bridge as a child? That thing where you push yourself from the ground, while lying on your back? Try to do it now, I can't even lift myself up 1cm 😭
@@SaschaBraus77 yooo soo true
@@SaschaBraus77 If you were meant to be a bridge you'd be born with a river running under you.
Conclusion: "Behind every great man there's a woman". You should call Anna in Day-2
It took me one year and a half of working out in between jobs to be able to do upside push up while balancing on a wall, your video gave me confidence that in 5 months I will be able to hold the handstand and do upside down push ups with no support from the wall. Thanks for the awesome video that touches on the void part of preparation towards technique implementation.
I put off learning a handstand because it felt impossible, but you've inspired me to try again! The pike stand looks a really good progression. Thanks for the great video!
It will take a while to master the elevated pike press if your starting point is similar to mine. Best of luck man!
Luke yeet What a god xd Took me 2 Weeks
AssassinsHelper recomend kicking up to wall, back facing wall and repping out some handstand push-ups. That’s what I did
do it against the wall the way he said was the scariest, that's the easiest way, chest to wall, you don't fall if you keep pressing with your fingers and just learn to open your shoulder for about 30 seconds in that position and then start to lean your shoulders above your wrists and play with your palms and fingers
if you feel like your falling let go with 1 hand and turn, you will automatically fall from the side instead of backwards, let go with your left hand, fall to the left, let go with right hand, fall to the right. but i also recommend doing HSPU against the wall, i'd say it's best to learn how to get up into a handstand by pressing into it, do shoulder mobility exercises, core exercises like hollow body hold, when you do HSPU aginst the wall always squeeze your core and butt, and legs, this is howi learned how to do it and it all depends if you doing other training, or purely just want handstand, if it's just handstand, i recommend greasing the groove tactic, where you do 50% of your total effort in about 5-10 minutes and 4 times a day, and then 1 day with rest before and after do a complete workout to failure from handstand holds and pressing, do this and you'll have the handstand in about 3 months without fail from pressing up into it ((if you can do 30-40 press ups from the start like i did)) I was also doing front lever training at the same time, still am. so i do get some lower back strength from that also. but the absolute most important thign, is getting them handstand wall press ups without breaking your form and holding open shoulder for 30 seconds, if you can't do that, don't even try without the wall.
@@aniqrifaat5322 that is such a bad idea and a horrible time to learn that you need more strength. You will literally fall on your neck if you're not strong enough
Greate video.👍🏻
I like you added and covered many of the video tutorials that are out there, with the humor and frustration.
About myself, I’m 55 from Israel and I’m trying above two years to learn handstand.
I come to a conclusion very early that a trainer will shorten my learning time, but I haven’t find one yet. So I’m still in the process and your video reflect it all. 😃
Keep up the good work.
All the best.
There is a pattern to your average guy’s genius:
you try and try again,
then learn from others and try and try and try again.
Then identify your weaknesses and set new goals to correct your weaknesses.
Try some more..
And succeed!! Well done man!
I don't even work out and I can do a handstand
Just wanted to say your patience is truly inspiring. I just started this journey, day 7, and it feels so impossible. Your videos keep me positive :)
You'll get there. We promise. We're y years old and we're twins, and we learned it against the wall in our house. We started against the sofa so when we fell we'd fall on something soft. Stay motivated, you've got this! :)
I really respect your patience, determination and consistency, wow for nearly half a year and very rewarding indeed. I'm gonna start training handstand today!. Thanks for the motivation!
The guy had zero push to strength starting and it slowed him considerably.
But fait play for perseverance.
If he had a tutor from the start much faster would he have been?
thank you so much for showing your journey, this really makes more sense than those trash how to do a very difficult trick in 10 min videos
I barely had the patience to watch this 7 minute video in whole, so I commend you for your dedication to the cause! Impressive!
This could not have come at a better time. I’m trying to learn how to hand stand but almost every video on UA-cam are from people who are already really good at it. Thank you so much.
Go for it!!!! I hope it won't take you that long to learn it!
Was waiting to the hear ''then this happened ''
😆😆
quarantine gives me time to learn how to hand stand😂
That quarantine must be very long if you're average guy
simonko25 i live in nyc this quarantine will continue to go on for a while unfortunately and work is shut down so i got the time😅
Maria Mar it’s not too hard bc I can do it and let say I’m not the most athletic person
Yeah.. I'm doing so.
Same here
Most honest tutorial on handstand. I was so disappointed of myself after trying the “learn how to handstand in 5 mins”. Great content, thanks for sharing!
not a second of 'filler' in this video! completely captivating and insightful.
This guy isn’t “average” anymore
Working really hard to become not average haha.
Wishyou explained "push, block and save" still, great video!
Thank you loved the video, way to hang in there!
Well done! Just published my video of doing a handstand in 7 DAYS (but not 11 seconds long hehe). Loved yours!
Wow dude, such perseverance! Just goes to show that hard work pays off, we all can't wait to see what you do next!
Thanks, Brent! Yes, onto the next goal!
Learning moves like the handstand, frogpose, cartwheel and backflip are one of my quarantine-porejects. Great to see someone succeding, although admittedly I'm much weaker than you. Still, very motivating!
how you doing man
you better be a calisthenics god now
So basically this guy shows us how he figured it out and sums up all the information that took him over 150 days to figure out, in like 10 minutes. Awesome I’m subscribing 😂
This is incredible! Congratulations on learning it! This motivated me to try to learn it myself! :D
Just realized we go to the same gym! I just joined a couple weeks ago. Hope to see you there sometime!
Definitely come say hi if you see me around!
Currently on this exact challenge as well. Finding the balance is so tough indeed! Congrats on achieving it
Dude, best of luck!!
@@GeekClimber Thanks!
you are an example of determination
i am trying handstand ...very difficult but i am loving the proccess
I just love your videos, right now I'm trying to learn the handstand, and it's quite difficult, and it inspires me to see how you did it.
I totally understand your struggles man! You got it!
In the beginning they laugh, then they ask how you did it. Good job!
omg this is the best handstand tutorial to ever see.... let's start with the fact that he did not actually know how to do it so and the realness of learning for all those days rather than other videos that say ''in one day'' then you lose hope after trying in one-week coz they make it sound so easy and yet it needs practice and consistency......at least now I have some hope in still learning this technique with all the information, am so happy for you and thank you so much for this video
Great job staying with it and documenting it!!! Keep up the great focus/work ethic!
Dude what? Immediately after trying your "spread the fingers out" technique, I also reached 10 seconds. I haven't been able to do nearly as long before.
Wow! this looked like an excruciating journey, was so satisfying to see you succeed!
what is “push block and save”? i wish you would’ve described that in detail in the video
Nice video I love that you documented your beginning and end progress.
Wow! I just learnt it from 2 months of constant work! 🥳🥳🥳
"Definitly harder than I imagined."
Can’t wait for average guy learns how to no-hand planche
I love the time we are living in. Amazing to see you achieve this! I always wanted to do handstand. I'm 1m95, already tried several time but not focused enough. But seeing you tempted me to just record myself and start!
These are the best handstand tips I've seen so far! After watching this I was able to balance for a few seconds in the handstand position. Just need to get over the fear of falling so I can do it without the wall next.
Those pants are impressive for staying "down" so well.
Impressive! Your dedication is inspiring and motivational 😊
Dude, you are far from average! Amazing guy, keep it up 💪🏻😊
Man, congratts for your preserverance. Impressive! No matter how long it'll take, never stop.
"So many things have to go right at the same time and it just seemed to be impossible" 😂
Never thought I'd hear the day when someone would tell me to keep my back rounded
dude your perseverance is absolutely inspiring
Good job mate! Bravo re Anna! Persistence pays off!
Rad & congrats! Regardless of time it takes-confident skill performance is most critical. Valid point that climbing skills don’t always correlate to push or other calisthenic style exercises. As always, you inspire me to fail...I mean try. Ha ha ha. Thanks.
Haha yes, it's all about the persistence, Jon!
I have been coping to find a video like this. I have been wanting to learn to do the hand stand but so many videos are different none told you about what to do before and why you couldn’t “mine is because I have weak upper body strength” so I thank you. Although I am at home and need to find something similar to that board
I love all your videos, man! It's inspiring and also more helpful to see someone go through the process of learning these calisthenic movements and be transparent about their journey and their struggles
Awesome! I love your humility and perseverance! I've been working on my handstand and am able to occasionally get a solid 10+ seconds. I'm working also working on the pistol squat. It's going more slowly, but I'll get there. Thanks for some inspiration.
3:20 girl in the back straight flexing on your as my dood
more like he was flexing on her ass
She is a regular on practicing the handstand!
Crazy stuff bro, Respect! 👏🏻
Thank you! I am on the same journey but hadn't found anything this relevant

You’re amazing dude. The research on top of will power👌🏿
Just deciding one day I’m going to learn a hand stand and then having the persistence to keep going and actually doing it is insane.
I actually began with this today, i will be back when i can do the handstand
I am 20 years old
73kg
1,74m
So i am pretty average too.
Dude, best of luck!!! Let me know when you get it!
What level are you at? What exercise are you currently doing?
@@TheSweBro hi, so 2 days ago I did my first handstand at the wall.
I dont have problem with my strenght so I dont to special workouts for it. I just warm up myself in my room and do the handstand at the wall. I still have a little bit fear tho, which I try to get used to it.
Sry for bad english
@@TheSweBro I slowly try to increase the distance to the wall, because right now, when i do the handstand my whole body touches the wall
@@songohan393 Oh that sounds good, I think I want to learn it as well. I mainly just want to increase shoulder strength. Last time I tried at a wall (a few years back) my arms kept buckling so the fact that you actually can do it is impressive for me! And your English if fine fyi (not that mine is that good either but still...)
Le pigme you can learn handstand in 5 minutes 🤧
Thank u for this video, I’ve been trying to learn hs consistently for three months and I’m better but I still struggling and is very frustrating, I guess I need to keep consistent and patient
Cool. I admire that you just kept on trying, trying, trying, trying,........., and trying. Thumbs up
Most exciting UA-cam I have seen! Well done!
Need to give Anna a thumbs-up as well!
thaks for the share!!! this is really useful and i hope to learn soon!!
Great breakdown of your experience. Thank you kindly!
Awesome video, dedication to the max!
very cool, very humble video. I struggle with the handstand a lot and this videos gave me some new motivation and some really helpful tips (:
Moral of the video : every guy should have such girlfriend which could help you out in every situation
I'm older (77) and decided all my weightlifting (press, bench press, squats, deadlifts) had given me all the strength I needed to begin handstands. WRONG. Only standing presses give you strength in the direction you need and I was weak in the press. So I've begun doing those inverted pike holds to help strengthen myself properly. What your video reminded me of was this is like watching a baby learn to stand and walk. First the baby crawls around and builds up some muscular strength. Then, when the baby can stand, all those muscles have to learn how to coordinate between each other to keep the body upright. Finally, when the baby can stand steadily for awhile, it learns to coordinate the muscles to put one foot out and then the other foot out. All your three months of kicking up against the wall were also laying the foundation of strength and coordination in your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders and torso. That's a lot to learn so of course it takes time. I'm on your Day 1. I hope I live long enough to gain the skills and strength necessary to do the handstand.
Well done mate! Amazing perseverance! I'm going through this journey myself to ease the boredom of lockdown!
I was taught how to do a handstand in like 15minutes from my dad
ok
Wow
Heck 😂
@@CarpeDiem13x i was already strong :)

you are simply GREAT. it's your attitude.
Amazing, but what are “push”, ”block” and “save”? Im right in the same stage of handstand where im moving away from the wall.
Congrats, I'll give it a try, it looks challenging!
