I just found this and I have to say that the video side view of the correct and incorrect positioning is among the explanations I’ve seen. You’ve given me some great tips to increase my potential quickly. Thank you!
I’ve struggled with my press handstands for so long and making these little corrections almost makes it feel possible 😅 thanks for the amazing video, hopefully I’ll get it soon!
Been trying to get this for months and two weeks ago found this tutorial. Would just like to say I’ve improved more in those two weeks than the rest of my life! Thank you
Thank you for actually showing movements that people should be doing and how to do them before engaging into a full handstand, vs just hop from single legged RDL into a handstand.
Your tips about flexibility are really great! I can do just a couple of these movements, and probably I have to improve my mobility before actually try the handstand press. Thanks!
Thank you Julia. It takes time and effort, but it''s totally worth it in the end! Make sure to keep up with flexibility and it will go faster then you think! ;)
Woow, thanks for this, I have seen 4 of your videos now and I cannot be more thankful because they are awesomely produced, they look very very neat, clear and pro-level, I will be a follower for life..hahaa... really thanks, I am a fan of the natural human powers, knowing your physique is key in achieving a successful life, you really look natural and a serious gymnastics athlete, a leader I can follow, I am sooo excited on getting in shape and develop my physique skills, very soon I will be starting my way, thank you for inspiring, motivation is key, just try to feel a bit more comfortable when performing and speaking at the camera...yup I can help a bit with that, sometimes you look like a bit tense, particularly when speaking, but nothing that time cannot fix, well done and all my support! Keep Natural Success!
thanks a lot for the tips, I felt the difference instantly! now the question is really staying strong. But the moment I corrected my posture and correctly positioned my legs I felt I was going to achieve it but I lacked strength. Great video!
Yo man, you are a fking great teacher omg, I just watched your video and I realized that I was wrong since the beginning, my feet were way too far from my hands so i was leaning too much foward. I tried once after your video and i really felt a difference and i managed to lift my feets a bit higher. Thank you so much, keep doing such great quality of video with what and what not to do with examples!!!
These are great training exercises. I could never do a press to handstand in high-school partly because I was 6ft tall 175 lbs. and lacked sufficient flexibility, so I was relying mostly on strength. I didn't have the strength to manage my body mass. Also, nobody really knew how to teach it like this. Now I'm 62 and thinking maybe I can still learn this (???), but my flexibility is worse. I can still do a decent handstand though. My wrists are really weak and cannot hold up to the leaning forward. I have a pretty strong core and shoulders, just no flexibility.

Thank you so much for the tips, i found out that i already had the strength needed but i didn't have any flexiblity. It felt way easier when i finally knew what to do!
Great video, I am half way to do the splits and is getting there, is your video showing its better learn how to do the pancake first before doing handstands training?
Can you do a tutorial on l-sit press to handstand. I am really struggling with that at the moment. Especially the part when hips has to go from horizontal to stacked over shoulders.
Nice! So... This exercises on a routine with day 1: Back lever + Pull, day 2: V-Sit + push and day 3: HS press + core could stress to much the core/body and etc? Doing 6 days with frequency like 3x or 2x per week?
Thanks so much for sharing so these videos. For those with a herniated lumbar disc (l5 s1 for ex.) - the PTs will say excessive flexion is bad - any advice on whether they can slowly progress or should they stay away from this goal? Or any where you need a lot of lumbar flexion / core compression?
I won't comment on a specific situation. I'm a huge believer in listening to your body. If we listen and feel closely we can often become aware of when movement is 'bad' for us.
I have short legs and long arms and torso. I'd guess my best bet is to focus almost entirely on getting super flexible to be able to press with my legs together as it's impossible to get my hips high with legs apart because they're short. Does this make sense? Do you have any other advice? Thank you
Hi. Can U please tell me. What is diference betwen calinstetics n gymnastic? I do Yoga in daily life. Like it alot, but this seems a lot stronger work oriented.
Gymnastics is more strict about working through basics.. I am not sure exactly what calisthenics is about, seems different people focus on different things!
Prashant Dayma if you mean necessary to learn to hold a handstand without walking, then no. I can do a press handstand pretty easily but still struggle with not walking on my hands when I’m the handstand
It's not 'necessary' but I would highly recommend you to have a solid handstand prior to working on the press handstand. It will make everything go smoother!
You don't have to thank that I watched the video! I thank YOU for creating this! You do gymnastics very precise - that's what I likee :D #nicevideo#thanksforthehelp&forthetips
Hey Sid, what do you think of headstand leg raises with the head (but not the hands) on top of a 20cm block? Is this a good way to learn the press to handstand? I can do it easily right now, but the flexibility you recommend is going to take more time.
This is a great video but I have some questions. I’m very flexible and I believe I’m in the correct position, but every time I lean forwards my arms give out. Any tips? I’m desperate to learn.
Bodyweight Mastery ok so I think it was just my shoulder strength but now I have a new question. I can easily do a standing press against a wall but when I do it on ground my feet won’t go up they just float forwards. Tips?
It's common to experience cramping during Straddle training. You simply need to endure it, build more strength and as your capacity increases the cramping will slowly decrease.
Because something “works” doesn’t mean it’s correct. You don’t wanna lean the shoulders forward in the press handstand, you want to compress to get the hips over the shoulders. Like demonstrated in the video.
Bodyweight Mastery Beautiful, gentle response. Most people don't understand long term tendon and ligament shortening or lengthening over time doing "crutch" moves that can cause instability or injury in the long run. There are also techniques that can GREATLY improve painful hours of recovery from damaged tendons and ligaments at the attachment sites to the bone. Pelvic, lumbar, posterior knee attachments that are filled with adhesions and scar tissue can make for restricted stretching. Hydrotherapy, vibration and manual therapy are critical to ensure the tissue stays organized and injury-free. May times people are stretching attachments and not muscles because they are so bound up with disorganized fibers.
just practiced elevated press this morning. ony suceed 3 times with bad control. I always fall forward and finished with forward roll and my wrist was hurted as fuck. Wait do i need straddle L-sit first before i practice this shit? I can do L-sit on floor about 10s. But straddle..... 2s maybe?
+tri ngo You don’t HAVE to do it. Although I would recommend to learn it before for the flexibility, compression and hip strength you get from the Straddle L. It’s just my recommendation, it’s not the law;)
Great tutorial but the exercises you stated for flexibility/compression are intermediate to advanced skills and exercises not beginner. For example the straddle L sit (Stalder press), that is not a beginner skill. In fact you need the pancake before you can do that. And if you can do the pancake you can train for press to handstand without the straddle L sit
That depends on how you define beginner, in gymnastics the Straddle L is a basic skill. We always learn the straddle L before the press to handstand, don’t know your coach does it? Yes. but that doesn’t mean the Straddle L is not helpful in learning the Press to handstand!
These exercises should be easy for you, if you want to learn the Press Handstand. The straddle L is not necessary, but beneficial. Just work on these and your press handstand will improve!!
I just found this and I have to say that the video side view of the correct and incorrect positioning is among the explanations I’ve seen. You’ve given me some great tips to increase my potential quickly. Thank you!

Can you do a tutorial on l-sit press to handstand. I am really struggling with that at the moment. Especially the part when hips has to go from horizontal to stacked over shoulders.
I will try and some progression towards the L-press to handstand:)

Nope, the core is loaded minimally with those moves, so should not be a problem!
Some great tips - thanks for the video!

Bicep curls... ;) Bent arm or straight arm?
@@sidpaulson1 bend arms :/
Thanks alot bro
You got it!
I appreciate to you. I learned a lot.
Awesome!
The shoulder lean beyond the fingers or not while pre flight phase
Preferebly you want to avoid leaning forward, but can be difficult when learning the skill!
Very well explained👌🏻
One question , is it necessary to perfectly learn handatand before press handstand ?? Please reply just
Yes or No
Prashant Dayma if you mean necessary to learn to hold a handstand without walking, then no. I can do a press handstand pretty easily but still struggle with not walking on my hands when I’m the handstand

That's a great way to get started, but it's pretty basic in the press handstand progression ladder!! :)
Thank you sid
You go it!
@@sidpaulson1 I got it by now :)) do you also have something for press handstand from straddle sit. I don't know what I should strengthen to get that
This is a great video but I have some questions. I’m very flexible and I believe I’m in the correct position, but every time I lean forwards my arms give out. Any tips? I’m desperate to learn.
Do the arms bend?
Same
Bodyweight Mastery ok so I think it was just my shoulder strength but now I have a new question. I can easily do a standing press against a wall but when I do it on ground my feet won’t go up they just float forwards. Tips?
You probably need more preparation. Work on your compression, pancake flexibility and specific press handstand progressions.
Bodyweight Mastery I am very flexible and I do stretch before that’s why I’m still confused
what is the name of the background music
Sorry, can’t remember 😔
Great video! What’s the song you used?
I'm sorry, I can't recall.
what if i have bad hamstrings flexibility ? is there any other way to learn this ?
thank you
No problem! :)
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
amazing
Thanks :)
My hamstrings are super tight. I have been working on the pancake because I cannot get the my hips high enough
Yes the hamstrings are super important in that case. Just keep working on it!! :)
Whenever I do straddle holds, my hips seem to cramp up. What can I do to prevent this?
It's common to experience cramping during Straddle training. You simply need to endure it, build more strength and as your capacity increases the cramping will slowly decrease.
Height of flexibility and strength 👌
Yeah!
Gooood
Thanks man!
1:06 what exactly is 'goo'
Typo.
Press hand stands are so sexy - you look great doing it.
i get some bad headache if i try this! any tips?
Remember to breath properly and drink plenty of water! Sometimes it takes some time for the body to adjust to being upside down :)
i think it is because of my overactiv trapezius muscle, and the reduction of bloodflow!? O_o
I haven’t experienced this myself.. Could be, not entirely sure.
Calisthenics + Athletic video please
Maybe.
How long did it take for you to learn a press handstand?💘
Gosh, this is way too difficult to me 😫 I can't even lift my legs 🙈
One step at the time!!😉
Sid Paulson haha I can't do that without kicking.. and of course I also need walls 😂
Omg same i tried so hard I ended up going falling on my head it’s to hard
1:25 why do you call it "incorrect"? That's the way I do it, and it works.
Because something “works” doesn’t mean it’s correct. You don’t wanna lean the shoulders forward in the press handstand, you want to compress to get the hips over the shoulders. Like demonstrated in the video.
I might try that in the gym, thanks!

? HI MAN GOOD VIDEO I HAVE A QUESTION HOW MANY TIMES A WEEK TO TRAIN ON A PRESS HANDSTAND
Thanks. Personally, I do some kind of press every day when I'm training. If you want to learn it, however, I would train it 2-3x per week.
I understand and I am very flexible. I can get into the same position at 1:00 but I just cannot lift up :(
Need more upper back strength.
This move is crazy hard but I will get it
Gotten closer?
Great tutorial but the exercises you stated for flexibility/compression are intermediate to advanced skills and exercises not beginner. For example the straddle L sit (Stalder press), that is not a beginner skill. In fact you need the pancake before you can do that. And if you can do the pancake you can train for press to handstand without the straddle L sit

I can do it on wall but I can’t do it without wall Soo I really need a lot of help and also I can’t really balance my handstand properly...
Not yet, just takes time and patience!
Bodyweight Mastery I’ll try as hard as possible to balance my handstand and practice it every single day...thanks for the tips tho
Ok I'm fucking gonna learn this, at present I can barely sit upright with my legs out in front of me.
Go for it man!😎
I guess I can't do the press headstand then, because I can't do any of the excerises he shown on the video. :(
These exercises should be easy for you, if you want to learn the Press Handstand. The straddle L is not necessary, but beneficial. Just work on these and your press handstand will improve!!
Bodyweight Mastery have you got any videos on straddle L flexibility? :)
