    This video is discussion about the handstand. The two arm handstand can be learned by beginners quite quickly. With some practice and consistency, the handstand balance will be yours. Now the one arm handstand is a whole different story. Advanced handstand is significantly more difficult and requires extreme dedication.

      I'm pretty sure Paul mentioned at one point he's enhanced, probably HRT. So his recovery capabilities probably arent as limited.
      Paul also said that he doesn't train Pull movements as much, as a focus, as he does his push. Hence planche.

    Attempts, attempts, attempts are the key to unlocking the freestanding handstand especially if you’re looking to progress to HSPU. That journey is very boring and can be discouraging at times but once you unlock it, you’ll be so glad you dedicated yourself to learning it.

  • @TheDarkOne3141

    The best tip is literally to focus on it. It took me about 6 months to unlock a free 1 minute handstand by training everyday. Not sure if it mattered but i had a good base strength. You realise once you see the progress, you love to do it even more.

    I definitely agree with the flexibility aspect of one arm handstands for us guys who arent 100% naturally flexible due to years of bodybuilding in the past

  • @TheBlackJewelz
    @TheBlackJewelz 2 місяці тому +1

    Just practice the handstand for a few minutes a few times a week. Once you master it start throwing in OAHS in the midst of those few minutes, 1 rep shifting over on each arm, and you’ll make significant progress after a couple years. It doesn’t need to be a huge deal

    • @dokuaccount3172
      @dokuaccount3172 2 місяці тому

      I want to get better at the handstand push up. Other handstand exercises are mainly for improving it. My balance of the normal handstand also improved from training handstand push and stuff like frog stand to handstand

  • @clownposs1
    @clownposs1 2 місяці тому

    Don't forget that the practice of one arm handstand involves a huge amount of flexibility work on the lower part of the body and by doing active stretching you gain strength in the legs which otherwise need to be worked on with calisthenics exercises that are not that pleasent like the ones for the upper body!

    I wonder, is the main issue strenght or balance? I'm asking because I'd like to know how much realistic is a one-arm handstand with the support of the wall: does it also demand such a gigantic sacrifice of time and energy spent on other exercises and skills?

    • @sahilsinghrautela743
      @sahilsinghrautela743 2 місяці тому

      I can answer, cause I have achieved one arm handstand (on wall) .
      The simple answer no, not even close. When we're at wall the one arm is easier.
      I achieved it aster I was able to hold wall handstand for 1.5 to 2 minutes.

  • @muaths8066

    No joke. Handstands are tough. I have been consistent with handstand training for more than 3 years. Now all of the sudden my wrists start getting hurt. I can’t hold handstand properly. Although I have stack handstand (No banana handstand) I still end up hurting my wrists. It doesn’t matter how much I warm up, stretch and strengthen my wrists.

    I tend to disagree. Most really, really advanced calisthenics athletes are able to OAHS without much specific training at all. And mind you they are owning planche etc. Which is also what I personally see. OAHS does not compromise my other skill strengths at all. It supplements it.

  • @0nlySon7
    @0nlySon7 Місяць тому

    Unless it's in your DNA to pick up on these things quickly and get them out of the way skill based movements don't hold much in the way of practical value. The return on investment simply isn't there. That's why I focus on old school calisthenics taking the body through natural ranges of motion

    It does look amazing and it is a nice skill to have, but ain't functional.
