Thank you so much for this. I was just practicing and feeling sad that I feel so much more balanced when looking down rather than backwards, but now I know that’s not a bad thing.
I have learned a full planche before learning a propper handstand and I still have soo much more to improve on it,it's not easy,but it's quite fun and enjoyable
I have watched many youtubers teaching handstands and different ways to learn it, but I think u are the best at teaching it everyone Ive watched have always explained the ”perfect” handstand and stuff wich is a forever journey. Only u are the one saying that it is better to learn to balance first and then progress further. So keep up the good work bro!
Hey thanks for the myth,this help me lot ❤️ yes I feel in the beginning of handstand 🤯 how people learn handstand in 3week.And I used to say to myself that brother, why am I not able to do it? I have been training from 1year still I am trying but it is not happening ,i know it's take lots of patience , time and consistency and specially body awareness
I'm 6 month in my calisthenics journey and sadly the handstand is where i'm struggling the most, thank you for sharing this! It's kind of frustating watching video where the handstand is always considered a basic skill, maybe as "easy" as a L-SIT on parallettes.
I started calisthenics Jan. 2021 and started handstands last July, and I just got my first 20 second hold. Handstand is challenging, for sure. You'll get it! Probably faster than I did, lol. I'm practicing for consistency and to kick up without touching the wall.
in my case i cant improve my mobility as my left arm can not be straightend due to a life long problem that happend to me. . but i can hold handstands quite well i think.
I think it's tricky marketing for the claims of "30 days to handstand" and other type programs that say you can learn in x time cause what are they defining as a handstand e.g. hold for how long? Cause yes you can learn to handstand in a few mins if you define a handstand as being able to kick up into one but not any criteria for holding it.
I learned and unlocked my handstand first 10sec HS(w/o wall assistance) after 65 days. Thanks to you and all youtube dudes. I know i am not alone with my journey. 😇😇
Can you do something like this but for transitioning to one arm handstanding , I can do many fancy lil things but I struggle to hold one arm handstand.. thanks man and I ❤️ your videos your a really great instructor
Is it true what I learned as a small boy that it's bad for you to get all the blood rushing to your head like you do in a handstand? Whenever I practice the handstands I seem to get a bit of a headache
I've done handstands for a year now and had the same problem at the beginning but with time it gets better and your body gets used to be in an upside down position. How long have you been training for?
Can you handstand walk? How far? Can you do a RUclips short showing how far you can handstand walk? I am trying to learn that a little bit now, it didn't take me long to take a few steps, now I can walk a few metres, hopefully eventually i can go pretty far 😊
Do you have a tip on how to be always ready to do a handstand? So I can hold a handstand when I'm warmed up. Also my consistency increased a lot I would say I catch it in most cases and than can stand for like maybe 1 Minute max. But If I want to do it on a party or something like this, I first have to stretch my shoulders and wrist. Or need a couple of trys before being warmed up. I want to be able to do it out of nowhere on the spot
Hello there! So, i have been doing handstands for 2 years and i can tell you that it takes a little while to do it every where or whenever you want, but there there are some "warm ups" That help get you that kinda "skill", like start walking during+- 10 min and every 8/12 seconds do a handstand during the 10 min you Will get way more Control of your alingment and strenght That a handstand requires, and trust me it Will be easy to do it every where! But yea mostly it takes a lot of practice, try to get your 1 min hold very solid for more seconds and Im sure youll be able to improve:) and dont forget to enjoy the Journey;)))
And I wouldn’t doubt that at all😊 I am not at all saying that getting a strong core is wasted, I am just saying that it actually doesn’t matter too much for handstands. And particularly, I wanted to address the fault of the “squeeze everything” form cue I hear all around the place 😜
I was starting from scratch and I hit 7-8 seconds on most of my tries after 3 weeks (counted with metronome, sometimes its as little as 5s and sometimes I have holds up to 12 or 13 seconds). And I had to take in sum more than 1 week of those 3 off because of a bruised toe and wrist pain. I think the consistent 10s in 4 weeks is totally possible if you dont injure yourself and practice 3-5 times a day several handstand with some days off to recover. But then again it depends what you count as "learning a handstand". Consistent 30s will surely not be feasible.
Good tips but Myth 4 is not true for everyone. I learned the handstand without a wall. I always kicked up until I found the balance more and more. The wall can also be a safety that is hard to get rid off when you've learned to controle your handstand because you cant find the balance when kicking up or beeing afraid of falling.
from my experience I can tell you that this was not the case. By practicing belly to wall you learn to go out from the side and then applying it free was automatic. But if I had to learn balance hoping for the luck of a lucky kick up, it would have taken me a lifetime.
We are all different in how we learn and what we find motivating 😊 I am well aware that many people do learn the handstand like this. From my experience coaching handstands (which is what I base my teaching off), I have seen that those who learn to use the wall as a tool progress much faster. I would even go out on a limb here and claim that had you used the wall in addition, you may have learned it even faster 😊 That being said, I definitely also recommend training without the wall, and drills free of the wall as well as falling drills are present in all of my handstand programs. I thing (as with many things) the key is to use the best of both worlds 👍

"Grabbing" the floor is what helped me the most besides wall handstand.
I have watched many youtubers teaching handstands and different ways to learn it, but I think u are the best at teaching it everyone Ive watched have always explained the ”perfect” handstand and stuff wich is a forever journey. Only u are the one saying that it is better to learn to balance first and then progress further. So keep up the good work bro!
embrace that, it's all about the journey
Best handstand videos on youtube by far.
Again with a great video.
Thanks Sondre.
Also, can you make videos on back handspring and kip-up to handstand and Planche.
I don’t see the upper body mobility tutorial in the description- would really love it!
Thanks!
Sorry about that😅 The links are now in the description 👍

Thanks 🙏

Thank you. Useful, i straggle with it 😁
Very informative, great honest content.
Thank you so much brother

Thank you for this very encouraging vidéo 🙏🏼🤸🏻♂️
I love your advice!
Sir, upload your core workout, like how you train your anterior & posterior core muscles.
This person teaches real stuff
Woaw Great i’m stuck in the handstand hold some tips
I think it's tricky marketing for the claims of "30 days to handstand" and other type programs that say you can learn in x time cause what are they defining as a handstand e.g. hold for how long? Cause yes you can learn to handstand in a few mins if you define a handstand as being able to kick up into one but not any criteria for holding it.
Honestly what helped was to figure the balance my self, once I started to just think of my body as one unit my progress started accelerating
I loooove this video 😍😍😍
I learned and unlocked my handstand first 10sec HS(w/o wall assistance) after 65 days. Thanks to you and all youtube dudes. I know i am not alone with my journey. 😇😇
Whats the difference on handstanding facing the wall and not facing the wall?
amazing, I wished I watched this 10 years earlier when I had more strength.
Heya sondre. I just want to know the age in which u have started calesthenics. Love from India
Ти найкращий, так і продовжуй.
Can you do something like this but for transitioning to one arm handstanding , I can do many fancy lil things but I struggle to hold one arm handstand.. thanks man and I ❤️ your videos your a really great instructor
I allready have one (or actually 2) similar videos for the one arm handstand 😊 just search for sondre berg + one arm handstand 👍
Is it true what I learned as a small boy that it's bad for you to get all the blood rushing to your head like you do in a handstand? Whenever I practice the handstands I seem to get a bit of a headache

I saw you did twerk right there @2:57 but stopped halfway!
Cool stuff
Can you handstand walk? How far? Can you do a RUclips short showing how far you can handstand walk? I am trying to learn that a little bit now, it didn't take me long to take a few steps, now I can walk a few metres, hopefully eventually i can go pretty far 😊
It’s funny, that’s what people always ask me if I can walk in a handstand when I’ve spent all of my trying to learn how NOT to walk 😂
Do you have a tip on how to be always ready to do a handstand? So I can hold a handstand when I'm warmed up.

One of the best calisthenics teachers 🩵 Thank you Sir
I want to add to the third point is that for me getting a stronger core got me more awareness. So it can actually help
And I wouldn’t doubt that at all😊 I am not at all saying that getting a strong core is wasted, I am just saying that it actually doesn’t matter too much for handstands. And particularly, I wanted to address the fault of the “squeeze everything” form cue I hear all around the place 😜
Nice
thanks:)
Super❤️
Actually, gymnastics teaches us to look at the floor between the hands too. What you said at the beginning is not originated from gymnastics.
I was starting from scratch and I hit 7-8 seconds on most of my tries after 3 weeks (counted with metronome, sometimes its as little as 5s and sometimes I have holds up to 12 or 13 seconds). And I had to take in sum more than 1 week of those 3 off because of a bruised toe and wrist pain. I think the consistent 10s in 4 weeks is totally possible if you dont injure yourself and practice 3-5 times a day several handstand with some days off to recover. But then again it depends what you count as "learning a handstand". Consistent 30s will surely not be feasible.
Idk why but i learned it whit a bad but not the worse form in less than 3 training session (less than 1 week)
Good tips but Myth 4 is not true for everyone. I learned the handstand without a wall. I always kicked up until I found the balance more and more. The wall can also be a safety that is hard to get rid off when you've learned to controle your handstand because you cant find the balance when kicking up or beeing afraid of falling.

That being said, I definitely also recommend training without the wall, and drills free of the wall as well as falling drills are present in all of my handstand programs. I thing (as with many things) the key is to use the best of both worlds 👍
Not finding balance, with wall or rope help can do for 2min+, freely can not do
Yo bro do you still have a problem with handstands?
You look a bit like Aksnes Aurora, or maybe she looks like you. Hmmmmm 😮
