      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

      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. :)

    @VincentLloydM 4 роки тому +85

    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.

    • @yungthug2403
      @yungthug2403 4 роки тому

      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.

    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!

    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!

    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

  • @yaronco5

    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.

    No one would laugh at you, you get yourself going from literally nothing, as you admittedly said your pushing strength is behind.
    Now, tons of keyboard warriors out there can't even do a handstand, let alone 10 seconds. You have succeeded, congrats.

    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!
