The comparison of the H position against the typical kick-up-to-wall (back to wall) is crucial and a seriously underappreciated discussion. Thanks for addressing this as it really targets a very common area of frustration in progressing into balancing.
STAGE 2: Finding Balance Prerequisites 1) 30sec Chest to wall hold 2) How to fall Drills 1) H Hold 3 sets x 20sec 2) Scissor walks 3 sets x 5 times per leg 3) Freestanding handstand, Goal: 15 - 30sec of cumulative balance time Thank you for making and sharing those videos!
Great video. Just watched it today and greatly improved my balance from 7 secs, which I've been stuck on for a while, to a solid 10 second free standing. Thanks a lot. I have subscribed and shared in AD CALISTHENICS.
Now, I'm not saying that a climber can't teach handstands, BUT WHY IS THIS TUTORIAL BETTER THAN THE DOZENS OF TUTORIALS BY CALISTHENICS ATHLETES? Well sir. And thank you. I feel much more confident about how to keep progressing towards my handstands.
This is probably my third comment on UA-cam in 10 years. Been working on handstands for a bit now and I always feel like I'm close but not quite there. Tried your H hold method once, literally once, and was able to hold a handstand for about 6 or 7 seconds today. Fantastic instruction. What a difference it made compared to kicking up against the wall. Thank you sir.
Thank you so much for your great videos. I have been following your channel from the beginning and I think you are one of the best content creators in this niche. Thank you for all the advice and your hard work so far and upcoming. I am currently in the novice stage and working on improving my anterior pelvic tilt as I have problems with staying completly straight while in handstand. I wish you all the bes,t energy and health to reach your goals and keep doing what you do! :)
Thank you for the tutorial. This deserves more view as it is the most detailed and informative video I have found on UA-cam. Great work and keep it up!
Perfect timing! I’ve been doing the strength exercises from the first video for about a week. I can hold a 60 second chest to wall and I’m already starting to do a version of the H. So now I can start working on these. I also found Tom Merrick has some good videos for handstand training on his channel. Thanks for the great content!
Oh man! I kind of gave up and lost hope being able finding balance to progress beyond that to do the handstand push ups. Watching this video and your amazing tips gives me that hope back and motivates the hell outta me to work on my goals again. Thanks
Awesome! I've been working on handstands for a while now. I've only recently began facing the wall ( thanks to your first video) I can see some progress.
I've never legitimately tried doing a handstand but I know I can't. I work at a gym and I see only a few patrons making it look easy. I want to achieve better core strength, stability, balance and be able to show it off. You've done such a great job with the breakdown im confident that anyone such as myself will be able to perform a good handstand!
Have been practising for some months now. This video gives me immense confidence that I will get it soon. Would be great if you also mention how often to practise. Thanks Cheers
I have 6 planned in total. Next four are: Intermediate I & II, and Advanced I & II. HSPU (handstand push up) would likely fall under Advanced I. I'm actually working that skill right now!
How much do you think are skills from headstand transfearable to handstand? Recently I learned headstand (currently I am able to be in the position around 1 min, still a lot of space for improvement), and I want to learn handstand as well. And thanks gor the video, it is great!
To be truthful, headstand ability doesn't transfer well into handstands. They are completely different balance systems (tripod vs bipod) and use different muscles. I'm glad you liked the video, and thank you for your question!
Very good, thank you! Personally I can concentrate better without the music. Everyone is doing background music all the time, I find it really annoying. Am I the only one? Thanks again for the video
I have been practicing every day for 45 days now. Some days I can balance freely for 3-4 seconds, and some days I can't balance even for 1 second. How do I fix this?
Film yourself. Probably the best advice I can give to anyone who is self-practicing (without a coach). Review your footage and compare it to footage of people who can do the skill you're trying to learn. Find out what you're doing differently and limit it to 1-2 variables. Make those into cues and tell yourself to focus on this one cue for the next several attempts. Once you've practiced enough to instinctively apply the cue, introduce a new variable to work on. Rinse and repeat!
Love this video! I am currently in this phase of my handstand progress. Working on L shape handstands away from the wall. I can hold 5-10 seconds these days. When is Stage 3 coming?
The comparison of the H position against the typical kick-up-to-wall (back to wall) is crucial and a seriously underappreciated discussion. Thanks for addressing this as it really targets a very common area of frustration in progressing into balancing.
This Is by far the most original and great tip on the H hold. No one offers this one. Thx for sharing
Sometimes learning this stuff can be frustrating, but your voice makes me feel like i can! SOOOTHING 🙏

I really needed these tipps. Felt like I got stuck for a while with finding my balance. Thank you!
I did my first 10 second handstand today!! i started at the beginning on april and i followed all ur steps and they made me reach my goal!
Congrats! That's a great achievement, and I'm super happy to have helped you a bit in your journey. Welcome to the upside down world :-)

This is really great. Looking at a lot of tutorials, yours stands out for the simplicity and wholeness of the content.
Much appreciated

Well sir. And thank you. I feel much more confident about how to keep progressing towards my handstands.
Because the calisthenics athletes give you minimal information and then plug the paid plan.
You do an amazing job explaining complicated things in a clear and concise way. You are an excellent educator, and thank you so much for your videos!
Decided to start calisthenics. Couldn’t find a good guide till I found this channel. Thanks a lot!

Finally a teacher!... Please teach how to do an L-Sit🙏🏾🙏🏾

That H hold is genius! Thank you. 😊
I’m 40 and finally found sound advice on getting me to my goal of a 5 second handstand...thank you!!
Looks like I've just found my next isolation challenge.
Thank you so much! I’ve been doing your beginner Handstand workout and was really excited for this one! Great piece of work!
Oh man! I kind of gave up and lost hope being able finding balance to progress beyond that to do the handstand push ups. Watching this video and your amazing tips gives me that hope back and motivates the hell outta me to work on my goals again. Thanks
Thanks, your work is awesome. Greetings from Ecuador !
Back to learn handstand again! Thanks for this great tutorial bro
Love your videos about handstand so much, please make some more!
Almost academical approach to hand stand =) Respect you man
Thankyou. Very good tutorial
Great tips! This will help me a lot keeping balance! Thanks!
That was exactly what I needed! Thank u a lot! Great video :)
I think chest to wall rather than back to wall is key for developing a handstand. Great video!
NEW SUB HERE! Excellent video series. Thanks so much.
You are now my handstand Guru 🙏

I love the content as usual. i should start doing this today

Ooooh that H stand is great! Did 10 seconds with out touching the wall straight away 😄
Best videod. Thx. Short & helpful!! Do you also planche?
I had an okay straddle planche a long time ago. It's gone now
Wow,this thing really is helpful..thanks so much man!
Good job.
excellent guide
For reference, how many stages can we expect for this? My goal is to eventually do handstand push ups so thank you for making these vids!
Handstand has three main things to work on which is strength, alignment and balance I think next video will be about alignment and mobility issues
I have 6 planned in total. Next four are: Intermediate I & II, and Advanced I & II. HSPU (handstand push up) would likely fall under Advanced I. I'm actually working that skill right now!
@@movementforclimbers yo could you release them ASAP please??
@@movementforclimbers any plans to release the next handstand vid? This was awesome man!
The fall out of the hand stand through the car wheel? That's a bright idea. Thanks
Love the detailed tutorial

This you can also watch for better mobility while doing handstand

The background music makes my voice 15% smoother. Glad you like the video :-)
Never clicked on a video so fast
Any advice on how to build the shoulder mobility needed for that super clean line? I can't get my arms in line with my back
Bhut bdiya sir 🙏😊🙏
Love that voice baby boy ❤️
Stay motivated. Keep growing. Upraiz.
Can u make a video about how to fall.. i am doing this for a while but i cant try away from wall due to fear of breaking my neck
google user He made that video 1-2 weeks ago, I think you’ll find everything you need
Do you know Ido Portal techniques? Do you practice it?
I have been practicing every day for 45 days now. Some days I can balance freely for 3-4 seconds, and some days I can't balance even for 1 second.
How do I fix this?

Rinse and repeat!
is it ok to bounce off the wall with the feet to find balance ?
I just wanna know the pants you’re wearing, I want some!
I just cant get my leg straight and my legs hurt so much when i do.... any tips?
Hopefully, this will help me to get upside down
Update the comment once I master the HS
Love this video! I am currently in this phase of my handstand progress. Working on L shape handstands away from the wall. I can hold 5-10 seconds these days. When is Stage 3 coming?
It hurts 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕
HA! First 😂
This guy looks like Michelangelo sculpted him, and seems to live in heaven and talk like god. I think I'm rethinking my atheism....
Very good videos 👍👍👍👍💯
