This is DEFINITELY the most didatic channel on calisthenics you could ever find in YT. I've been following the excellent THENX, JumpRope Dudes, Calistenia Brasil, Pinho Calistenia, BarBrothers e so on for months, but FitnessFAQs is by far the most concerned about detail, form and injury avoidance. I can only appreciate this such wonderful job done here and share with my people. Bless you, Daniel. I hope life can be always good to you. Cheers.
No, it's just being a white guy. I made a video of my deadlift once and you could see exactly what muscles were working because they went beet red like that.
Hi Daniel, im almost 24 and been working on these ones with all my heart since the year begun, and I cand do 3 right now, I have a 1 min HS that can repeat at least 6 times, your advices had always help me to achieve my goals, also improving my journey to one arm pull up, thanks and greetings from Colombia
I started calisthenics 2 years ago, training every movements each week, i can now do free handstand and one clean form free handstand pushup. I will do them for reps this summer i'm sure! Thanks for all your videos, always great to listen good advices to keep me on the good habits!
Tip: if youre working out alone and dont have a mirror you can place your phone or tablet in selfie camera mode by your side to make sure youre keeping that correct 90 degrees L form when doing elevated pike push up or hold. That helped me a lot.
I've been doing Pike Pushups for about a year. I've made some gains, but not nearly enough. After one workout following your explanation for the proper form, I can already tell that my anterior deltoids are firing much more, and working much harder. Thanks for this video!
I'm soo happy I found I got into fitness 11 months ago. I was very skinny no muscle, weak, ext. I gained a 4pack ab, 12 pds. I'm super excited I'm still learning more about fitness. Thank you for sharing
I'm only a few months into calisthenics training. I'm still in the walk-up-the-wall phase, doing only about 5 in bad form. This video was very helpful. Thanks.
This is the best video I've seen on the subject. I'm 6'2" 190, I did the eccentric movements with the pike push ups first also. I had a major shoulder injury a few years prior. I was in decent shape when I started, take your time, it's worth it. I was standing shoulder pressing 80lb dumbbells for sets of 8 after doing these hand stand push ups for about 4-5 months. This exercise, with pull ups and pistol squats will get you in GREAT shape. Don't drink too much alcohol and take boron.
Thank you for the tips! I just started with handstand progressions and calisthenics in general and have been trying to get the movements right, and your video(s) helped a lot to understand things better! You are one of the best out there if not the best! Thank you!
Great video! I love handstand pushups, they build so much strenght in the sholders and also are a very beautiful exercise, especially when done on parallel bars :)
I use pike push-ups more as a shoulder workout, but I'm working to learn free handstand which for me is the most beautiful movement of calisthenics. And for me as a parkour enthusiast doing handstand in a high place is something that I want to acomplish someday.

I don't know what we would do without you, Daniel. Thank you so much.
I can do 2 free handstand push-ups. My goal is to do 5 free hand standing pushups. I can do 4x5 wall handstand pushup. But I haven’t been progressing these past three weeks. What can I do to to break that plateau? (I do handstand pushups for my first push session (once a week), pike pushups on my second push session (once a week) and random handstand holds throughout the week)
Κωνσταντίνος Τσελλος I was once scared to do a wall handstand too. You just got face your fears man... Place a pillow near the wall, ask a friend to be next to you....But honestly if you have decent amount fo strength (like you can do 40 push-ups) then holding a handstand is not hard.
Thank you. Negative are so good for this exercise. With a PILLOW for safety , I could do it. I will use 2-3 pillows, for COMFORT and this will encourage me to continue NEGATIVE PUSH-UPS FROM HIGHSTANDS. THANKS !!
My 2018 has been dedicated to nailing the free standing HSPU!!! I'm using your progressions for sure! I'll send you some videos once achieved. Thanks for all your assistance Daniel!
Much prefer your method!! Started doing back to wall handstands Probably two weeks ago or so and I was definitely afraid of being upside down but things are starting to feel much more comfortable and I want to start doing these back to wall handstand push-ups.
I have been suffering from shoulder pain doing pike pushups and just couldn't find the right form, thank you very much for the correction and awsome video as always!
Did my pike pushups wrong all the time. Now I know how to do them right. Also never thought of the elevated pike hold. I’m very motivated to try them next workout! Thank you!!
I can do no HSPU at this stage - I took about 18mo off of any exercise due to injury (turns out to be OA) and hadn't done any strength training for 5+ years. Now I weigh 111kg, but in January I pieced together a simple general fitness routine based on your beginner upper/lower body videos and am now at a stage where I do 3 x 9 pike pushups and am beginning to get my feet off the ground. I'm still a heffer but it feels great, and the OA is well under control in terms of chronic pain, no more sudden onset of weakness, and maybe most important, I don't avoid movement anymore. Love your work, thanks.
Great video just starting out in the calisthenics world after years of weights and martial art training, I still have lots to learn in how to use my body properly
Watching this video made me realise one crucial thing. I was doing my pike pushups like normal pushups. Just for my own understanding, if the shoulders are glutes and the triceps are quads, pike push ups are basically like forward-leaning squats.
Just completed my first freestanding handstand pushup today :) gonna use these tips to help build the strength and endurance to do multiple in a row one day.
I have been working eccentric freestanding head to a foam yoga block. Will add in the"against the wall" full motion and progress to inverted pike. Thanks!
Danial thank you for sharing the essentials exercises to aid us in performing a proper Handstand Pushups.. I will definitely include them as part of strength training regimen
Thanks broh from k.s.a kingdom of saudi aravia that's the best video ever my biggest problem long time but now it's easy thanks to you best love keep up the good work regards
The hip tip is making a whole lot of difference in my results. I am able to do wall assisted handstand push ups pretty nicely but wasn't able to even hold in the free handstand position. Getting way better now, even my girl noticed when I held the position.
patoux if you know exactly what to do and it is not a serious accident. The people who didn’t pay attention about that they will get much trouble for that skill. He is a professional man and it was just some light accident I guess. No problem because no pain no gain. Haha 😆
Always move consciously and controlled so that you can stop when necessary and that you know when it is. Try to tense all muscles throughout the relevant chains to stabilise your joints. You can train conscious control of your muscle tension on the side throughout your day by merely tensing it without resistance.
This is the video I needed. So glad you hit the common mistake points (I was definitely one of the people you were talking about, head between hands). Was getting frustrated / shoulders didn't feel good. Time to switch it up.
Great video Daniel. I have been trying to figure out how best to progress specifically to build strength towards eventually doing a freestanding handstand pushup one day...so this video hit the nail on the head for me. Keep up the great work man...love your channel!
Somehow you manage to post vids for the exact thing I'm working on... gonna watch now :) I found that it helps to go from handstand to headstand (tripod), and vice versa, also helps you learn the motion. Luckily I'm able to do like 3 sets of 10 reps against the wall so I don't think strength is my problem.
Dude this video is awesome; I’ve been struggling lately on trying to progress to freestanding handstand push-ups and this summed up everything I need to know. Will put into practice immediately, thanks a lot man, great content as always!
Another great video, congratulations! I will definitely add the isometric pike handstand hold to my workout routine, one of the difficulties that i am having in my handstand is to keep my shoulders open, and for sure this excercise will help me.
Excellent video again. Thanks so much. I would however suggest that for people who do not have the strength for any of these progressions would still benefit from the "wrong" progressions to begin to build strength to be able to do it correctly later on.
Learned smth new here! Definitely gonna include the last one in my training. I've been struggling with endurance for my freestanding HS (Balance ain't the problem) & simply doing freestandings alone yielded slow progress. Btw can do 12 wall supported HSPU & my freestanding HSPU PR is 5 (with slight banana form). Proudddd
Great tip with the negative reps for a starter! Regarding the correct form, I thought that your head needed to be as close to vertical as possible since moving forward would emphasize chest muscles though.
Great video Daniel! I used to do a lot of pike pushups (ground and elevated) until when I tried wall handsand pushups i could do about 3 reps. Though quick tip ALWAYS warmup your wrists! I fucked up my right wrist even when I did only 1 rep and a wrist injury could heavily affect your push workouts but I'm all good now. Goodluck everybody!
Hi Daniel, it’s a great video helping me with my handstand. I only started recently practicing for the handstand as it is International handstand day on the 23 June 2018, so something to practice for. Thanks Again

Thanks for the correction
well even when looking at how overhead pressing works, forearms must stay vertical so basically same thing as far as form
me too
Lol same
Same bro.... But what's the correction
If we bend our elbow in frogstand is it okay?
