Hmmm... well, off the top of my head: -My channel kind of lacks focus. I just talk about whatever interests me. -I don't have any actual expertise. -I keep injuring myself (see my last couple of videos) 😆 But thanks! I'm glad you like it!
@@The_Aging_Warrior keep it up. I’m trying to learn to balance my handstand at the moment. I can consistently kick up and hold for 3-4 seconds but would like to increase that to 30-40 haha. Needs any tip possible on how to better balance my handstand
I'm 72 and a CrossFit athlete. I was a pole vaulter in H.S. and could do a good handstand until I was in my late 30s. I started CrossFit at 68 and recently started working on handstands again. I practice them 3 times per week and warm up nicely after my CrossFit workout. I hadn't considered shoulder fatigue in my practice. I have been concentrating on my hands and balancing through finger pressure and heel pressure. Thank you for reminding me about working the shoulders by pointing out shoulder sagging in your photos. I should have realized it myself, and I cannot wait to get to the gym today to work on it!
Man, I am 31 and I have not done much progress in calisthenics. Just recently I started a program from FitnessFAQs and it has given me the best gains in my life. That said, I am still not very good, I can't go beyond 12 pull ups, seldom do I manage a ring muscle up, so never have I managed a bar muscle up, my shoulders are quite tight so cannot possibly handstand, but seeing you makes me realise that 30 or 40 or even 50 is not the end of the road and that I can keep trying, learning and making progress for a long time
@@The_Aging_Warrior how old are you ? please keep inspiring us ! and do not stop yourself here only god know that you could double or even triple your handstand record hold ! i had i dislockaded shoulder while playing competitive hockey never saw a doctor scam , and repair it myself and it did not stop me to push the limits have a look ! ruclips.net/video/zQcRuuYeX20/видео.html
@@TheGordbeast Thanks! And about your five minute handstand - wow! Before seeing your video, I probably would have said a five minute handstand is impossible.
@@The_Aging_Warrior I am glad it could inspire you too ! If you think 5 minutes was enough I want to blow your mind with my achievements 2 years ago , look at my channel.. more than 100 videos on trying my longest handstand.. I did 4 time over 30 minutes on my hands on video proof . That one is the longest with a video proof, I hold a competition, only Asians are on top and can go over 30 minutes on their hands , and me :) . Its possible for you , just need to try and try and stay motivated along the course, have a rest if you need it’s a work of years of achievements. ruclips.net/video/nMLpv7zKVUE/видео.html
@@The_Aging_Warrior in case you never saw this video a entertaining competition was released during the quanrantine, where the best of all professional circus performers and amateur could not train . ruclips.net/video/OJ1OwRqNil0/видео.html
Nice content! Want to see this one-hand-stand! Hope your biceps progress fine. Recently, I've come out of several shoulder injury (I'm 41 years old); I'm NOT a professional, but I've been driven by one, and I just want to give my resume experience if can help others: - Train tipical rotational moves, and when possible, add resistance bands to them. They'll become your warmup. Nothing special here, tipical approach. - Go adding exercises that you can push throught them, tolerating max 3 of 10 on pain (0 would be no pain, 10 will be shoked out by pain). - Include high range of motion exercises. Ring/trx pushups have been my best. You'll maybe start completely standup, and not doing a full range pushup, but work on it. Now I'm doing strict ring pushups for reps and increasing strength and technique (it's beem awesome for me). This is the oportunity to learn how to properly do the scapular move in our pushing exercises (protecting the shoulder and making it work properly!!). For gym bros, can do the same with dumbbell press. - Add also, shoulder strength exercises wich NOT includes much range of motion on shoulder. Surprisingly; handstand position, holding pike position, one bar dips, or holding on upper dips: they work strength on shoulder, making blood flow, requiring to work, without forcing the move. Those have replaced my anti-inflammatory pills. I went from just pushing on wall to take back those dips and one bar dips. Big hug for all.
Wow. How are you not more popular. This is one of the best calisthenics content I’ve seen

Congratulations on your progress! And yeah - you have decades to go. You just have to adapt as your body changes.
Congrats on achieving the 90-second handstand! To me, even a 90-second chest to wall handstand feels near max effort to me 🤣
Thanks!

Thanks! I'll keep that stuff in mind when I get back to training!
1:47 same thing with deadhangs 🤣
Haha - yeah.
Thank's for your sharing. For me I use a metronome application on my smartphone (62 years old 😄)

Actually, yes I do.
