It is SO helpful when you show you not doing a technique (e.g. compression) and then doing it. Most people only demonstrate the technique and not the lack of technique, and it makes a big difference to my ability to see what you're actually doing when you compare the two. Great video - thank you!
Susan Jean Thank you so much!!! Yes I find that super helpful too. I also find it helpful to film my attempts so I know what to correct when I’m working new skills
as a gym coach, I think this is an awesome video - lots of great drills / progressions with focus on safety, strength and quality improvement of the skill. nice work!
4 years now. Handstands everyday. Now watching this video again. I understand everything . Good drills. Great tips. I was too busy looking at you and not listening to you. I've matured now. Good job with this video on press to hand
So i was never able to do my press handstand, but after watching your video i had to try it again and after 5 minutes of practicing i was able to do it lol so thank you very much for this great video and those tricks
This has got to be one of the best tutorial and progression videos on this topic, mixed in with some of Ginas dry humour and a little self depriciation.
This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for! I used to be a gymnast but could NEVER get a press and I’ve been trying for months. I’ll try these and hopefully get my press! Love your vids 💛
I love the last one, the puppy press! I've never tried that before. I feel like I'm so close but don't know what the final push is. This definitely helps, thank you so much!
Ive been SCOWERING youtube and the internet in general for drills and tips and tricks and I have finally after DAYS found this video and omg it is EXACTLY what I needed. Someone thorough and explaining for all levels thank you!!!!!!
I think these are really accessible for me at my current level. I believe the hollow body/round back tip is the most helpful also the tip about starting with feet closer together in order to stack the hips. I can’t wait to do this tonight! Especially that first exercise🔥🙀
This video is so helpful! Thank you so much for so many practical tips... everything you said made sense and for those like me, trying handstands for the first time, your hints are absolutely on point.
WOW Gina. I think this may be the best press handstand video ever. Congrats. Your form demos are right on target, along with your tips and drills. Your sense of humor makes this 100% relatable and so memorable. And... as your lovestruck fan in the background noticed - it doesn't hurt that you're very nice to look at lol 💕 Thank you and please make more. If real world instruction ever becomes a thing again, I hope you'll post your schedule.
Omg. You’re so strong and fit 💪 I just recently started taking exercise seriously, so these kinds of videos are super helpful and inspiring. You explained every step with perfect detail, which is great for someone like me who is spatially challenged when it comes to handstands and needs to see a lot of examples lol. Thank you 😄
I love your not a pro at this because then you really show what to do and not to do. The instructions are clear that even a beginner understands. And i was able to get it in a week!!!! Thank you so much this really helped😘
Great tips Gina, thank you. I've been trying for about a year now. When you mentioned keeping a hollow body while going into handstand position, I'll be drilling that. Thanks :-)
Really great tips! I especially like the drill done from the floor with the hands on the wall to really give the feeling of the full range of motion of the legs and hips even for people who don't have the arm strength yet. I also really liked how clear your postural "do" and "don't" cues are. I have nowhere near your strength or flexibility, but I can do a jump handstand from down-dog. The one tip I have that isn't in your video (or maybe it is and I didn't hear it) is the concept of "push down to go up." I start from soft elbows and as I exhale and firm the core, I emphasize pressing the hands down into the floor; that makes the legs go up with much less effort. Again, I'm working from a jump rather than a press because I don't have your flexibility or strength, but I wonder if it might also be useful in the context of a press and would be interested to hear what you think. Great channel. I subscribed.
Yes! I do love that tip and it would have been great to include! I'm sad I didn't think of it at the time. I talk a little bit about pushing tall in my handstand tutorial but you are 100% right. It is a huge part of the press! Thanks so much for the comment and for watching this video! I will definitely have to add that to my future videos!
When you do the drill off the floor standing, without the wall- imagine a string is attached to your tail bone and is being pulled up to the ceiling. Might help 🌸
I came here to perv but am actually impressed on how you gave such intricate details on form which is very important. I've attempted these off and on over the years and they are not ez. Thumbs up
I'm trying to learn this movement at the moment so I've watched quite a few videos and this is by far the most informative (and funny). I'll be hitting these drills tomorrow and checking out the rest of your channel...awesome!
this is great! once you’ve accomplished this version the next step is from a straddle sit, which is very difficult and what gymnastics use to condition. Good luck!
Super informative and an American using sarcasm! I love this! I think I’m at the stage where I need a bit of structure to execute the press to handstand mission. This is perfect. Many thanks from Scotland 🏴
Very good instruction I love the way you emphasized getting the thighs into the core I adore the puppy press and I felt the lift when I did it and I think this is really going to help me thank you so much
@@GinaScarangella Hi, I looked for a reply you made to increase the chance of you reading my comment, which has nothing to do with the post you commented on originally. You've done well and you're in quite good shape. A way I've found to get more strength in the muscles used to perform the " Goku push-up" handstand push-ups, is take the form of downward dog, making sure to look forward while bending the arms back, towards your knees as you press down. If you let the go to your sides it'll work your chest There are underlying muscles that I can't remember the name of in our backs and core. They're responsible for how much weight the other muscle groups can carry, lift and work with. Push-up stiff armed moving only the shoulders works them one way, the other is hanging on a bar, tensing them and lifting the body with that part alone. While still hanging, pick your legs up and from side to side make an arc movement, slowly with fluidity. If you've read this far, thank you. I hope you have success with these as I have. And thank you for being so damned beautiful, well informed and I especially admire your commitment to achieve your goals. Those are hard ass push-up to do for anyone. I just got back into working out again after a 3 months break period. I'm putting muscle on for the first time in mass and I'm working on my strengths and weaknesses. Good luck miss Gina the beautiful.
I started, on my back, toes to hands over my head 40 times a day, at 61 years young and still enjoying life, two weeks ago I did 80 out of 82 backflips on the trampolines.thomascbelanger is my You Tube channel, I'm wearing a bandana.☺ FanTom USA
I love this thank you. It is really helpful. I won’t lie though when I practice this I feel so ugh. Because of the strength I still need to build. Thank you for this guidance. It was much needed.
OMG THIS HELPED SO MUCH NOT EVEN JOKING TYY, I’ve been wondering why I can’t do them when I’m so close and it’s cuz I’ve been starting w my legs so far apart and I’ve been keeping my back straight, im so glad I watched this cuz now I can do them lol
I'm from Germany and i can't englisch very good but i like this video and it was the only one which had useful tips for me. One Question😂: how long did it take you to do the handstand? And with what age did you start? 💖 Thanks for the helpful video and best regards from bavaria 💖
also from germany... and you talk very clearly so i was able to understand every word xD .. i‘m just not able to get my belly anywhere near the floor when i‘m sitting on the ground with straight legs 😂 it feels like something is tearing apart in my thighs ^^
Samantha R you‘re welcome 😂 ... if i push my body to that special point it hurts.. dunno if its tendons, ligaments or both xD .. but yea stretching will help i guess :D
@@Charlie_Waffles I think it's tendons! (Tissue that attaches bone to muscle). I'm studying to become a personal trainer. So I'm no expert, just very interested and practicing fitness daily. But there's a function of your tendons that prevents injury by sending pain signals when you introduce some new stretch or stretch your muscle beyond its regularly used range. If you feel that pain while stretching, use something firm (like a foam roller) to gently apply pressure to the exact origin of the pain for 30 seconds. That's the amount of time it takes for the tendon to release and allow more ease of stretching. 😁 I read about this technique and tried it today at the gym and it was incredible. With the foam roller, I made more progress on my splits today than I had over the last 3 days.
Very in depth and useful video! Do you have a stretching routine to make sure you mantain/improve your flexibility? I struggle with it and i would love to know if there’s certain exercises I should be doing. Thanks a lot🧡
HOW TO MASTER HANDSTAND ruclips.net/video/eMkghPcQ0ak/видео.html It can be risk for beginners, for me it is a challenge! Believe in yourself, keep trainning hard, get over the fear... You can do whatever you want
Hi!! i have been practicing them and i have improved a lot. I am able to do it against the wall now :D i wanted to ask you which would be my next step, because right now i feel a little bit figthening doing it without wall. Thanks!!
Blanca García Hi!!! Make sure your free standing handstand is solid before attempting without the wall. If you want to continue practicing drills I would do the small lift from straddle without the wall. That drill should really help build even more shoulder strength so that eventually the rest will be easy!
This has been my dream my entire childhood. After watching this video i finally did it!!! Thankyou so much!
Julie Falkenberg Dreyer So happy to hear that!!!! CELEBRATION TIME
@@GinaScarangella Love ur video and pls what is the name of the intro song?
Good job
I love your tips I practice it daily Thank you
yes Julie, and then you woke up
1)Put hands under shoulders
2) press shoulders against the wall (this puts your body in the right rounded out position)i.e. not banana
3) make sure you have a decent straddle split
4) roll hips up to handstand while pressing shoulders against the wall
5) press lower back into wall
6) roll hips back down, touch toes lightly to ground & press back up.
This builds your strength in your fingers & wrists which is essential, to balance.
You want to stretch your wrists well before practicing presses.
* the reason press handstand's are so difficult for her is because she's overly relying on arm strength, & it's a beautiful press handstand & perfectly executed, with good form; but not everyone possesses that upper body strength.
* I'm a former Elite gymnast/Coach & my 8 yr olds learn their presses against the wall & they are tiny.
It's a strength to weight ratio skill, like all gymnastics.
The key is your fingers control the balance. Tight butt & lower back against the wall head down keeps your body in alignment (as she shows) & focus on your fingers which are the only thing that can control your balance once you hit the handstand. Your wrists will bend& help in the transition to handstand.
You learn this quickly on beam & bars.
It's easy & learned by young children early in gymnastics.
Massive upper body strength doesn't come into play until you start from a seated straddle position on the floor, & no matter your level of flexibility it's a strength move. (I hated those).
From the feet position it's mostly in the fingers & best learned against the wall in my experience, which is strictly gymnastics.
When you get the strength in your fingers & balance, do it away from the wall.
If you lose your balance & fall backwards, tuck your head & roll out. Make sure you aren't on a hard floor.❤✌

Nice! 👏How many times at week did you practice these exercises to get it?

Believe in yourself, keep trainning hard, get over the fear...

Hi!! i have been practicing them and i have improved a lot. I am able to do it against the wall now :D i wanted to ask you which would be my next step, because right now i feel a little bit figthening doing it without wall. Thanks!!
Blanca García we have the same condition✌🏻️
Blanca García Hi!!! Make sure your free standing handstand is solid before attempting without the wall. If you want to continue practicing drills I would do the small lift from straddle without the wall. That drill should really help build even more shoulder strength so that eventually the rest will be easy!
Gina Scarangella thank you very much for your help! I’m improving a lot. Love your videos ☺️☺️
