Thank God for the internet. And for UA-cam. I'm 67 years doing crossfit for 10 weeks now and getting fit. I did handstands as a HS pole vaulter and could do one up until age 45 or so but not for over 20 years now. I've been wanting to do handstands again. I found this video today and this brilliant instruction and I know I will be doing them again soon. 50 years ago when I was in HS there was no instruction available like this and not much more in college. So lucky to find this genius instructor and able to save and review it over and over. Can't wait to get started tomorrow.
I absolutely LOVE how you broke down the progression of the handstand, starting with the VERY basic foundational movements. Thank you, Dave, for creating this video and giving hopeful individuals like me the knowledge to work towards being able to do a handstand. ^_^
NJ Dash seriously, cut that shit out. She is tested for steroids atleast 3 times a year and all the tests has come out green, otherwise she would not be allowed competing. I can smell jelousy, it doesn’t fit you, you know.
This is like a free personal trainer. Just amazing and I want to say thank you because 20 years ago I used to be a personal trainer and UA-cam wasn't a thing back then.
this is the best press handstand tutorial i’ve seen, i’m a gymnast and i’m trying my best to perfect my press, thanks to this video my handstand has improved!!
Man this is clearly one of the best video about press handstand on internet. I would never think i could find this with crossfit athletes aha ! Katrin is very talented, it is very very hard to do this stuff !
this is by far the best tutorial ive seen. good explanation. i can hold my handstand 40+ sec and wanne learn the press to handstand. Ty for this u got a sub
I love these tips and drills as I’ve struggled a lot on press’ and these exercises have helped me understand the compression and the strength you need in your hip flexors.
Good instructions from a trainer who knows his stuff , and her demonstrations , although performed with great strength, and technique , still gave her a great workout and another level of training . 👍
@@imanigaston6049 all the best to you maybe now in two years joanna might have perfected it but yours is only couple of months. work hard lady , you can do it ...
This is so good! I cant do a lot of this, but it is explained so very well, I can do my modifications and figure out what I need to do! Incredibly effective teaching tool! I have some more advanced students (I teach dance) who can probably begin to get there! Best press handstand preparatory drills I’ve seen yet!!!
Great video for the advancement of Crossfit in the gymnastic department I would like Dave to colaborate for new move to be implemented in the Crossfit game.
Some great progressions made to look a lot easier than they actually are due to the phenomenal strength and power of Katrin. She looks like she could Rag-Doll Dave Durante around the room at any point. Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Tamara Bevan Yeah I was about to say she actually for sure has her press and the only thing she would have needed was someone to spot her hips for a few reps to fully understand the movement. But really I am sure if she didn’t press already it would have taken er like 5 attempts to get it after having someone spotting her
Thanks for a super video. Very helpful and awesome teaching style. I am in the middle of your Gymnastics-program and love it. This gave me a much deeper and practical understanding of how it all comes together for the HS-work. Keep it up!
It doesn't matter to me if she is a pro. I got to see what movements I need to achieve. Probably that was also the purpose. Also I found here new drills for press to handstand. These I had not seen anywhere else. The instructions are just superb. Liked to listen to him. Voice and flow.
Dave's right.....each and every one of those progressions take a lot to get comfortable at alone and she's clearing each challenge with flying colors.....she's a pro!!!!!!.BTW, excellent seminar by Dave as usual.Outstandingly professional leraning stuff!!!!.
It's amazing how many muscles YOU DON'T EXERCISE with weight-lifting. It's only through gymnastics and calisthenics that you gain FULL CONTROL over your body and gain FUNCTIONAL MUSCLES. Reminds me of how ballerinas can slowly lift their foot over their head. How many power-lifters or bodybuilders can do that?
Lifting your foot above your head has nothing to do with strength, its flexibility. Which is not what bodybuilders and powerlifters train for, cause they dont need it.
How many ballerinas have the same level of muscularity as a bodybuilder? How many have the same level of strength of a powerlifter? Each set of people train to achieve goals specific to their own field. Your last statement is just silly.
No, lifting your foot above your head slowly ABSOLUTELY requires strength AS DO these exercises. I am very fit and pretty flexible but power yoga requires strength in muscles you do not use to lift...the flexibility aspect is only part of it.
@@shayden598 It has everything to do with strength! of course, you need to have a range to be able to open it up, but if you have a passive range, but no strength (active range), then you won't be able to lift your foot over your head. I am some what flexible, can do all 3 splits and in some cases even oversplits, but i can't lift my leg up to my head and hold it there with just my muscles
great video and great instruction. loved the drills and suggestions. she did make it look SO easy, but it is definitely NOT! been practicing for years now and just got to the point where I can straddle lift. way to go, Katrin!!
she's making it looks too easy!! i've been training the press for 2 years now and i'm nowhere near her level!! The CrossFit champion title isn't just for show.
putra9mulia If you have been training the press for two years and you are nowhere near then you ve been doing it wrong. Just read more literature on how your muscles work, which exersice should be the first, how many reps and how much tume spent on the targeted muscle. If you do it the right way and your knowledge is advanced and you are a mid-age man a year is more than enough to do whatever with your body. Muscle ups, handstand push ups, one arm chin ups etc. Just keep digging the information and change smth in your routine
Wow, you must have been doing something wrong all that time. In my case i didn't have to work on it at all actually. Pike press was a problem but straddle definetely isn't one of those advanced exercises
Katrin trained with russian ( i think?? ) gymnastics coaches when she was little, for a really long time until she found crossfit, so she's a master at handstands!
Thank God for the internet. And for UA-cam. I'm 67 years doing crossfit for 10 weeks now and getting fit.

thanks for thé time stamps :)
This is by far the best handstand press video I have come across. Thank you for a really thorough explanation on the fundamentals!
I agree
Agree but I found the intro compression exercises almost impossible
I absolutely LOVE how you broke down the progression of the handstand, starting with the VERY basic foundational movements. Thank you, Dave, for creating this video and giving hopeful individuals like me the knowledge to work towards being able to do a handstand. ^_^
It’s now 2 years later. How’s your hand progressing?
She is a real viking lady! What strength and control, just amazing!
NJ Dash seriously, cut that shit out. She is tested for steroids atleast 3 times a year and all the tests has come out green, otherwise she would not be allowed competing. I can smell jelousy, it doesn’t fit you, you know.
she got bigger arms than me

the Icelandic females are genetically Scottish, but yeah, amazing first attempts, she would be a great gymnast!

12:21 ``That's why I have no legs. Because I'm a gymnast. It helps.'' Body type plays a HUGE role in the ability to do these kinds of things.
Loved this video! Gave me some great cues and drills to try, thank you!
Hearing Dave explaining the techniques and why things ought to be done in certain ways is really eyes opening... great video!

David Durante is an outstanding teacher. Thank you so much for this highly informative video!
I love these tips and drills as I’ve struggled a lot on press’ and these exercises have helped me understand the compression and the strength you need in your hip flexors.
The coaching and connection in this is so cool to see.
Your instructions are very detailed yet simple and effective. ❤❤❤ thanks you very much
Thank you! So glad you find them useful!!
Wow that was probably the most informative video on handstands I've ever seen!
We want more videos like this one !
That’s incredible ! i love the ease and fluidity she so easily seemed to master on the spot ! Must be all her strength
Good instructions from a trainer who knows his stuff , and her demonstrations , although performed with great strength, and technique , still gave her a great workout and another level of training . 👍
His instruction is fantastic.
I love how she's like, "when are we doing that one?" Always ready for more!
I tried some of these yesterday. I have a long way to go.
And you
Joanna Bailey you and I both 😭😭😭😭

Ohhhhh this was excellent! Will be incorporating this in my workouts to help me excel with my press handstand! Thank you soooo much!
So glad you found some value here!!
The information and the way it is presented is very stimulating.
The only perfect guidance I have found here about press to handstand
💪🏽

This is the best video on oress to handstand specially those first 3 exercises....they are basics which no one teaches
This was awesome to watch. Good explanations and awesome display from the champ.
PURE GOLD!!!! Thank you!!!
The best person to learn handstand simply❤
We agree...but we are also biased lol
Some great progressions made to look a lot easier than they actually are due to the phenomenal strength and power of Katrin. She looks like she could Rag-Doll Dave Durante around the room at any point. Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
dude (sir) thank you so much-hope you have more-love the breakdowns and explanations-finally found what I'm looking for
I wonder if people in Crossfit know Dave Durante was an elite Artistic Gymnast and a US National All-around Champion.
He taught my Gymnastics cert... so yeah. Some of us know.
Don Ibarra I
Don Ibarra ...yes
why am I watching this? i cant even do pushups :(
It's alright. These people are just amazing/ been working at this a lot time.
@ɮᴇᴄφᴍɪnɢ already,one month has passed...xD

Same same
There is no harm in trying you can do it 💪
Very good teacher 👌
Thank you sir!
these are great drills since you can do most of them at home! thanks :)
Well done to her! Awesome fitness and form! great!!
Yeah, shes a beast! We love Kat :)
This was a great video! Not only to see how it's done properly but to have drills to work on for progression.
Awesome instruction but maybe do the video with someone who isn't such a pro?
Tamara Bevan Yeah I was about to say she actually for sure has her press and the only thing she would have needed was someone to spot her hips for a few reps to fully understand the movement. But really I am sure if she didn’t press already it would have taken er like 5 attempts to get it after having someone spotting her
@Minty Borro im saying !!!!!!!!!
Go watch Gina scarangela’s video on it
Right?!!!!
Don’t be a bitch
Thanks for a super video. Very helpful and awesome teaching style. I am in the middle of your Gymnastics-program and love it. This gave me a much deeper and practical understanding of how it all comes together for the HS-work. Keep it up!

Same goes for this movement, a handstand press is more about beeing flexible enough, not that much about strength

Piotrek Lesiński how long did it take u
I been going for about 6 months from literally zero and it’s super tough the compression is mental
Dave is such a tremendous coach!
Hes the best! We love him!
Super useful!
Thanks for sharing!
That was a serious professional training and not bullshit. Well done buddy!
Love these! I can't wait to incorporate this into my own training!! ❤️
Incredible Video ! Thanks !

Grande Dave ! Grazie !
thanx allot . i love this video .. please uploade more techniques of other diferent progrations .. im using it at the gym ... your"e both amazing
This video was amazing! I’m totally
Going to practice these drills today!:)
Katrin is a former gymnast and Crossfit champ so i think she has this down.
Katrin trained with russian ( i think?? ) gymnastics coaches when she was little, for a really long time until she found crossfit, so she's a master at handstands!
When she used this to help her in the regional 2018 handstand obstacle course
MrCliffhanger44 I was thinking the exact same thing
It was nice following through..
Sir, me fm southindia super ur subjects is marvelous nice bro godbless ur family, sweets thanks
Really helpful drills and tips! I think she could already do the press to handstand before they got started though! 💪🏻
Katrin was already preparing for the 2020 Crossfit Games, crushing everybody in the Handstand Hold Event!
"gymnasts normally take 8 hours between turns" too real
Katrina is a complete beast. Strong flexible balanced beautiful and intelligent. She makes us all look weak and work harder.
this is gold, thank you
This video is frickin amazing
I love to teach handstands to my students!
❤️❤️❤️
Really good coaching.
Amazibg the perfect control she has.
Great job 🎊
Gratitude thankyou guysss
Great tutorial🎉
DAMN, incredible video 🦍💪🏾

Very good explications ! Thank you 😀
Great tutorial. Some exercises above my strenght (just to do the basics will be good).
