When I started calisthenics I never anticipated getting into flexibility training but you quickly learn how much it impedes your progress sometimes altogether halting it. I’m grateful though otherwise I couldn’t be bothered with mobility, it’s taken so much time and energy out of actually training what I want to train. I’m just procrastinating before a workout right now actually 😂
Well haha stop procrastinating and get it done! You’ll end up doing it anyways so really any time spent procrastinating is wasted And yes. Training calisthenics etc is amazing because it inspires/forces you to work on things such as mobility and stability etc which you would neglect otherwise. In Other words. Calisthenics is forcing you to get healthier for every day life. If you want it or not ;)
How do you have so few subs, you literally put out something new when thousands of those tutorial already exist. Wishing you the best, you'll go far with that quality content! Now off to apply these cues and maybe finally get my press after years of being able to do multiple HSPU and 90degrees 😆
@CoachBachmann when you say at 3.54 to go towards an anterior pelvis tilt, i just want to make sure I understand this correctly because i was convinced that I should really avoid the anterior pelvic tilt in HST and variations apart from hollow back stuff and in the examples shown it doesn’t look really pronounced so I understand it’s more like a direction, a subtle shift that is not necessarily visible right? Thank you for your amazing tips also. You’re helping me realize at my lil level my life long dream of being closer to a circus artist haha 😃
So 98% of us can pull full power into the anterior pelvic tilt because most of us are not flexible enough to actually get the lower back to arch with the feet close to the wrists. All this engagement will do is pulling the hips further up on top of the hands. Going into the apt is more a mental cue to engage the lower back muscles
Coach Bachman, thank you so much for another detailed video. Should we expect the same detailed lesson on stretching and opening shoulders for One arm handstand?)
My problems with this are my wrists hurting, shoulders still weak, hamstrings aching when lowering down (progressing slowly currently down to my knuckles atm). This would be such a cool skill! I also really want to successfully do planche push ups and handstand push ups. Too bad they're super difficult to learn and master.
@@CoachBachmann How to get off the wall and balance the handstand. (not the endurance) just balance. I haven't come across any video on UA-cam video which breaks down what happens when you just get your feet off the wall (while facing it). How to control the weight? What exactly is happening there? What are the common mistakes? How to fix them? How to train to get first 5 sec off the wall ? Thanks for doing wonderful work and thanks a lot for responding. 😄
As a beginner, I think I understand why he doesn't have more subscribers. His contnent is undoubtedly topnotch but targets mostly intermediate to advanced audience. As a beginner, i keep rewattching parts of video 3-4 times to understand what he is referring to. I doubt if all beginners would do that they might be just dropping off.
That straddle planche press was clean! Thats my Next goal. Im pretty efficient at press to Handstand, but I Will keep training them always because I just love them they are so fun and beautiful. Your breakdown of the skill was so good even though I already knew a thing or two about this skill.
Do you think it's possible to develop the shoulder mobility for this if someone is severely lacking? If I stand with my lower back against the wall and try to raise my arms, they're a good foot from the wall ( a consequence of too many years bench pressing without anything functional exercises, I suspect ). My plan is to spend every day this year working on stretching/mobility and hoping that would lead me to have enough shoulder mobility to learn the handstand next year. I guess I'm just wondering if you've ever worked w/ someone whose shoulder mobility is really bad.. and they finally got there? Surprisingly, my hip mobility isn't too bad. I'm less than a foot away from touching my head on the ground in a pancake (keeping a straight back and after stretching a bit). Shoulder though... Sheesh. What a mess.
Yes. Easy as that ;) worked with many people who had insufficient shoulder mobility. Worked with a few that had very terrible shoulder mobility. We succeeded either way. Stretch, strengthen and work on activation/coordination. You’ll get there
Thank you for the explanation. I got a good 1 and 2 phase and I fins it easy to keep the toes floating (I can also constantly press all the presses) but I find 3rd phase a bit tricky coz when I pull the legs up I pike at the hips and my chest sticks out. What do you think?
The problem here for you is the same as with your slide away. You are very flexible but lacking strength. If you like with your chest sticking out your shoulders are far too open. You have to close them a bit. This will then require you to use more strength to get up. A prerequisite for part 3 is the slide away!
Thank you for this video. Do you recommend each step individually and only moving on when we've mastered step 1? Or can we simultaneously train steps 1 and 2? I am currently someone who is lacking the mobility. I can hold a handstand for about 45 seconds
Train all steps separately and simultaneously. The idea is to get as good as possible at each but at the end of the day you will have to work with what ever you have. A lack of hamstring mobility is a bit of a bottle neck for the press but you can still make it work using no more shoulder strength
Hey coach, i have good hamstring flexibility (can reach head to shin) and I'm also working on my handstand, but im kind of scared to kick up since I always fall over. Should i start working on the press since it is more controlled or to work on the kick ups?
Absolutely start working on the press. Not necessary because it’s a more reliable way to get up into the handstand as it will take quite some time to get comfortable enough to get advantages from the press mount but training for the press will help you greatly improve shoulder strength, upside down awareness and control and all over confidence!
I’m sorry. Currently everything is in English but stay tuned. I’m actually working on a separate page with dubbed versions of everything. So Spanish maybe mid/end of January?!
Great explanation! I have one question: in the end of part two, should we aim to have an anterior pelvic tilt, with slight arching of the back? Or should we focus on keeping the posterior pelvic tilt throughout the moviment? Thanks!
At the end of part 2 you absolutely want to push for an anterior pelvic tilt and with that a slight arch in the lower back. If you would keep your back rounded during part 3 when the legs come around you would always end up in a slight planche
@@CoachBachmann It seems I can do the handstand press relying on planche strength then. I'll focus on this issue to try to clean my form. Thanks for clarifying this topic!

You can expect the same detailed lessons and much more on all subjects! The list is long and we will tackle it one lesson at the time :)
My problems with this are my wrists hurting, shoulders still weak, hamstrings aching when lowering down (progressing slowly currently down to my knuckles atm).
This would be such a cool skill! I also really want to successfully do planche push ups and handstand push ups. Too bad they're super difficult to learn and master.
Please make more such long form technique break down videos.
I can absolutely do that!! What are you most interested in for the next topic?

@@GalaxyGazer929 exactly this is actually part of the January line up. Small and funny world
@@CoachBachmann Eagerly for the notification then! 😃
Pancake stretch please (to make press to handstand easier)
Don't understand why you don't have more subscribers when you see the quality of your videos.
You are the best.

Absolutely! I’ve got one planned for sure!

what software you using for the line annotations in your videos bro? Great video
It’s a mix of premiere pro and after effects!
