    This video shares my preferred technique for kicking up the handstand to improve consistency and nail the freestanding handstand. The kick up compares the common gymnastics entry vs the entry that is used by handbalancers.

    I literally came right off a handstand session that nailed me to the ground multiple times. Watched the video out of frustration. All of the sudden the kick up worked again. Magic! Loved it! Thank you so much Tom!!!

      I think long hair looks very good on a lot of people but many simply never have the energy to let it grow. Pretty cool to see it now on many people due to the quarantine.

  • @SLFKimosabae
    @SLFKimosabae 4 роки тому +2

    This might be the most essential video regarding handstands on the internet. I've been doing handstands for 5 + years and my consistency in kicking up has always been erratic and has led to intense frustrations. It wasn't until I learned this "split" technique watching someone else just a month or so ago, that I realized that the way they were kicking up into the handstand had never really been articulated anywhere I've seen before. This is absolutely essential, I feel. I feel as though I've been failed by every other video (in the 100s) or article that doesn't mention this.
    Hopefully, you do a video on kicking up into higher parallettes at some point as well.

      If you woke up, where are you from? Because here in Europe it's Sunday evening now, or are you working in night shifts and sleeping during the day?

    Hi Tom!
    i need some help. this past few days I've been feeling a pain in my "right obliques" during handstands. the pain started from doing handstand push ups against the wall i think.
    i did rest from all overhead exercises for a week but the pain still comes back as soon as a start overhead again.
    can you please give some idea what could be the cause and how can i recover?
    have a strong day!

    Thanks for the tips. Building up with transition exercises with goal to at least do a wall handstand. Haven't been able to do a handstand since a teenager, over 3 decades ago. I forgot as didn't seem hard then. Is it more the quads that get used to kick up? When I attempted, felt like pulling something in tummy.

      Things to remember :
      Warm-up BEFORE the workout.
      Flexibility/ mobility AFTER the workout.
      some studies showed that doing mobility exercise before the workout could harm your muscles and it causes strength loss. ( Can't max perf ).

    I don't handstand. I shoulder press the world. 💪
    Well... I would if I could balance 😑
    Oh how arduous is the journey, you think you've got then... ahhh! -wiggles fist-
    I'm having issues with my proprioception and shoulder mobilty due to external rotation, or lack thereof should I say.
    I'm 6"3 and weigh about 15st 7lbs (217lbs) I'm roughly 12/13% bodyfat so I think I could slim down. I can balance on a balance board with one leg and juggle so I think I can learn the balance aspect but I'm guessing lack of mobility is an issue as much as perhaps excess fat.
    Do you think exercises for external rotation/rotator cuff would be beneficial for being able to control my arms over head or do you have any other suggestions?
