In my life I was mainly interested in martial arts. And now, at 60 years old, I became interested in doing various strength exercises on the horizontal bar, parallel bars and various exercises like in this video. I am happy, Paul, that I came across your useful lessons on the Internet.
I love your videos, they are super useful. One question tho, when doing a press leaning on the wall, I tend to use my head or neck strength to kindda push a bit, that helps me elevate my legs. Is that normal? I feel that if i dont use my head I can't make my legs start floating.
It's crazy how difficult it is to bring the back to the wall when you haven't done it before! My brain just doesn't want to go there.. and to watch you, I'd never imagine it would be a stumbling block. But I'll get it!
How often do you practice this? I’ve learned from my chin up pull up practicing that if I do too many reps every day, I injure myself. I work out 4 or 5 times a week, usually with a four mile run after a ten minute stretch and then upper body work. I have stations along the four mile run where I use bars to chin up/pull up. I’m pretty injury free now, doing about total of 25 each all together. It has taken me a few years to be able to get here but that might be because I don’t give myself enough rest days in between. I’m 60 and can already tell I’m running into injury just learning to balance which I can finally do after several weeks (in a frog position).
Handstand balance and mobility can be trained much more often than strength but you still need to keep an eye on wrists, shoulders, traps etc as the overall volume can catch up with you. For strength I would normally recommend 3-4 sessions per week. But everyones intensity is very different especially with calisthenics. We also all deal with training load differently to one another, so you need to experiment to find what works best for you.
my friend. but how do you lift your legs from a standstill without momentum??? I can't send my legs up from a standstill which muscles should I activate?

You are one of the best coach!
Thank You!
Clear and concise as usual. I am always inspired by your ease in handstands!
Thank you 🙏 lots of practice!
Thanks Paul, love your videos. I believe I have the strength but not the flexibility or range of motion fro HSP. I also have very short heavy legs 😅
Super explanation! I once learned to do Scorpio pose in much the same way. I have to upload a video on my channel.
I’ll have to try…the easiest version.

Excellent! Just the progression I was looking for. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!

Yeah go slow, try only taking the head to the wall and back (by closing the shoulders) then progress to back. The body is trying to keep you safe
