I haven't done a handstand for years but i'm confident enough to start 2moro by the wall first before i get these gym tools. It will take me a good old 1 Year to get it pretty good. Thanks simon for this video, it's a wake up call. 🤸 I remember a guy name Darkness an X Gamblers Crew, He said; If you stop Breakdancing you will lose it very quickly" he was right!
Hspu are a good exercise to put some strength and muscle Mass on the shoulders, they can be considered as "general strength". For planche specifically, having a higher general strength level (so being strong even in hspu) Will be useful but if u want to learn planche, prioritize It and do specific work
A good handstand will let you do handstand to planche negatives. You can either come down the whole way and progress by going slower and slower, eventually stopping at the end for a while, or, you can progress by adding more degrees to your angle and holding it, from a 0 degree full handstand, to a full 90 degree planche. Every degree in between is progress. It's like training for a front or back lever. Those elements can be progressed in the same way. And yeah, handstand pushups train your anterior deltoids, which you need for the planche, so there's carryover
@@faresk27 but you don't. In HSPU variations the elbows should remain vertical which won't happen if you bend first. In the freestanding HSPU you will fall if the elbows go behind the wrists

Thanks Symon! ❤👏👍🎯😎🙏
Will mastering hspu perfectly make planche training easier, instead practising directly planche movements before hand?

What is the difference between narrow grip Hspu vs wide grip hspu, cause narrow pike push up feels hard so I practiced that grip more?
Narrow grip requires more strength
Narrow targets the triceps more and the wide grip targets the shoulders more wide is easier because there will be less range of motion
@@faresk27hmm no. Closer grip means you have to lean more, thus requiring more strength from the delts
@@perotal it depends if you start by leaning or bending elbows

This looks like a great progression to bent arm planche. I'm thinking I'll do shoulderstand to bent arm planche negatives
