Amazing stuff guys, as usual 🙏 I was brainstorming a few ideas for future video series on my own channel just yesterday and thought about doing an in-depth handstand one - then I come and see you've already smashed it out of the park 😂Looking forward to working through this!
Great video. The fear of falling is a big thing for me. I can bail side to side or front side. But if I fall back, I panic and fall awkwardly. Is there a way to avoid panicking? (Body seems to do it naturally when I tip back)
Thanks. I have just started calisthenics a couple months ago and I just love it. I can do a wall assisted handstand for a little bit but never worked on the skill specifically.
Holding the tuck planche is pretty hard so congrats on that! The handstand and the planche are two different skills and every person is going to be different. So to answer your question I don't know. :) Practice and have patience and that will take you pretty far.
Yeah, in the tuck, you've got a lower center of gravity, and you're controlling your balance w/ arms horizontal rather than vertical, which is easier for most people. I still suggest following the HS steps from the beginning.
@Adam Kirby, The tuck planche requires more shoulder strength, so it's harder. But it requires less balance, so it's easier. I mean, if you're strong enough to do it, then it's easier, because the balance part is easy. But if you lack the strength to do it, then it's impossible to do, so balance is irrelevant. So apparently you have strong shoulders, but lack balance. Work on gradually lifting your tucked planche into a handstand little by little until you can do a tucked handstand. Then gradually straighten your legs until you're doing a full handstand. If you can hold each stage for around 30 seconds or so, you can try pushing yourself a little higher. Keep practicing that over and over again, and eventually you'll be doing a full handstand.
Keep practicing your tuck planche until you can do it for 30 seconds. Then keep practicing with your body pushed higher and higher until you're in a tucked handstand position. Basically follow the advice I gave to Adam Kirby. Doing this will strengthen your shoulders and all the muscles you need to do a full handstand while also improving your balance.
Make sure are breathing the entire time you are upside down. Sometimes it is easy to hold your breath and that can lead to getting dizzy while upside down. Give that a try and see how things go!
A very informative video, especially gazing on the eye brows, I never knew it, I tried it today after i watched the video, I have end with the solid attempt!
Love it

Thanks Luke!
Yesss !!! Was waiting on this video from you a long time ❤❤❤
Is this zen nick cage?
yes. please buy con air on blu ray
Thank you for the knowledge kind sir. I admire your work and enthusiasm greatly.

Joseph P tried again, but instinct was still to panic. Gonna fall forward on purpose to practice rolling out of it
That is a good idea. Practicing bails are a big part of making any progress in your handstand.
To avoid panicking, you need to work on developing nerves of steel.
What if my eyebrows are so thick that I can't see through them?
hahaha, you just need to grow a mustache to balance out the weight distribution of your head
I'm really good at the bailing out... lots of practice!
How many days a week should i do handstand practice and is it important to learn handstand in order to learn planche sir
Practice as many days as you enjoy.
What is your name l w
Thanks so much for the amazing series. I'm totally working on learning the handstand when I get home.
keep us posted on your progress!

Coolll been training HS 1 month now, this is perfect. Thanks
Well...did you get it?!
Can you try this at any age? I'm 50.
You're three years older than the person in the video.
Can you try this a any age I’m 6
Many kids start gymnastics and do handstands at your age. Just have an adult check your area for safety and watch to help you :)
This is the best handstand tutorial ever....!
I can do the tuck planche and hold it for 6 seconds, how long will it take for me?

So cool! Glad it helped :)
I've seen lots of handstands tutorials and this one is hands down the best of them! Thanks a lot, I really dig your mindset at GMB!
Thank you! Really glad it's helpful :)
My arms can't fully bend at the elbow for some reason would this prevent me from doing it?
