Frogstand to Handstand Progressions

A few exercises that really helped me get there. In particular I was stuck until I started to do pike push ups, which really made all the difference in the end.
Hope this video helps!

Looks so easy but hard to do, thanks for the tutorial, will keep on tryi g

[@hamzajaved2773]

You will get it soon, stay patient!! Consistency will pay off in the long run. Pike push ups were the key exercise for me btw

[@omgomg8026]

Wow u replied! Thanks will never give up

[@returnoftheredeye]

Really helpful and concise, thank you. My weak link is the pike push up, as I run loads of miles but don't do enough stretching to offset it, so my flexibility's terrible.

[@hamzajaved2773]

Glad you found it helpful man! You are correct that in callisthenics movements you generally need both good strength and flexibility. It is definitely important to include both aspects in your training. I would recommend some hip flexor mobility work and hamstring stretching to help with your running 👍

Thanks those are great exercices I'll try it

Hello there, i tried following your steps of doing it but most likely i fail, i cannot evelate my legs to the air fully. Am i maybe not holding my hands at 90 degrees or i am in a wrong position?

[@hamzajaved2773]

You could try to work on developing more strength in pike push ups, this will help you stay in a stronger position as you kick your legs into the air. I think most likely it is a strength issue, not that you are in the wrong position. Keep practising though, and you’ll get there!!

@@hamzajaved2773 Alright i managed to evelate my legs to the air yesterday but couldn't push up back and i fell. But hey i'm progressing slowly, you gave me hope! This is why we fail, when we fail, we understand our mistakes then we are coming back stronger to give it another try! Thank you and i promise you i will get there!

[@hamzajaved2773]

@@notyasuo54gio61 that’s the right attitude!! You will get there, just stick at it 👊

[@notyasuo54gio61]

@@hamzajaved2773 I managed to do it but not the best form, then shoulder soreness began.. I gotta rest up my shoulders then i will keep attempting it

[@Conormcnproductions]

very nice, I have some strength there now, but I'm always fearful that I fall on my head

[@hamzajaved2773]

Thanks man! I would recommend using some pillows underneath your head so that if you fall you know you will be safe! Another alternative is to use a yoga mat, I do that regularly when practising overhead movements

My knees slide down to the elbow everytime

In this case, just try to focus on shifting your hips upwards into the air before you begin to press up into the handstand. The higher you will get your hips, the easier it will be for you to press up.
A good drill for this is to get into a frogstand and begin to lean forward as far as possible, elevating the hips, and then come back to neutral. Repeat this a few times to get accustomed to the feeling. Hope this helps you man!
