I used to do the banana hand stand when I was a kid at some point I even could touch my head with my toes but at time went on my hand stand posture strated to correct it's self naturally. I totally agree with your massage
I just learned handstand but I found myself to be banana position almost give up instantly after seen what I need to do to correct myself but this video kept me going thanks :D
I completely agree with the banana vs straight... speaking skill wise. But the problem lies in that it should be a decision to perform 1 or the other. Performing a banana coz u can only do that version can cause lower back (and shoulder) problems long run. Coz of forcing a kind of ballistic range of motion. And disengages important muscles involved in a straight HS (rhomboids, traps, etc). But i LOVE your tutorials! So thorough! One of the best on UA-cam!
Yes, I also agree with you, that's what I mean when I say that both ways are ok as long as one knows what he's doing. I do not advocate doing curved handstand if this is just due to lack of core and upper back engagement. But I admire the flexibility displayed in some forms of curved handstand (i.e. mexican handstand). Thanks for your feedback!
Maybe....but a banana handstand is more likely to fix and prevent most peoples back and muscle problems, since most people spend too much of their day in a seated position, and extension of their spine, paraspinals and hip flexors is good for them.
If it is a controlled forward bending handstand, with the head through the arms. If it is a banana HS with your face in front of your shoulders (ie, bad shoulder mobility), then it's more likely to hurt your back by forcing lumbar extension.
My understanding is lumbar extension is actually quite an excellent stretch, and good for the lumbar spine. One of the reasons (among many) that the bridge is such a good excercise.
No. The lumbar spine is not ment to be extended or stretched. The thoracic spine is. If U look at the bridge pose (performed correctly), the lumbar spine should not flex at all. As it would compress the discs. The thoracic spine, scapula, and hip flexors are stretched.
Thanks for saying this, refreshing to see someone speak honestly, instead of bending the truth to promote their own egos.

I've tried doing straight handstand but I just can't balance when I reach that straight position I fall over. With curved I can hold it for over 10s
Your videos are so well done
Thank you!!
please some one correct me is it ok to do banana back during the tiger bend in hand stand ????
Hi, I think there is almost no alternative to that, since doing a banana back with your back straight would be extremely difficult.
thanks for reply.
How do i posterior pelvic tilt?
Thank you thank you thank you!!
:)
Great video
Thanks Andre!
My sister is used to doing the curved one
your right hand is infront of your left hand lol nice balance but doesn't it develops uneven muscle
