Man, the focus on up, not forwards/backwards is some seriously solid advice. The chair analogy illustrates this perfectly. Gonna make a conscious effort to remember that during my pulling drills so that it becomes second nature.
This guy gives calesthenics skills learning advice unlike any other ,results following his advice are phenomenal ,keep dropping good vids like this,hats off❤
My handstand progression: try my own thing, get stuck, go back and follow Paul's advice. I finally got 2 unbroken HSPU reps. I thought it would come a lot quicker after getting the first rep, but it took awhile. I also caught 6 kick ups in a row and can hold a handstand for more than 60 seconds now. But I definitely went freestanding too early and that slowed my progress. I've gone back to using the wall to work on my underbalance and HSPU strength (I can do 3 sets of 9 chest to wall).
paul has great knowledge and experience in how to train. one of the main things i've learned from paul is making some form of handstand work a daily practice. developing a handstand and skills beyond requires steady consistent practice over a long period of time.
Не почерпнул новой информации, но приятно было пройтись по уже имеющейся информации. Тренируюсь 1 раз в 1-2 недели. Сейчас отрабатываю Headstand. Могу удерживать это положение 15 секунд. Попутно учусь контролировать ноги. Мне требуется 1 минута, чтобы плавно перейти в Headstand. Для самой стойки на руках освоил Stand Full Pike, т.ч. при подъёме ног таз у меня уже на уровне плеч. Не забывайте растягиваться 💪
Great video! Can you do one about handstand to the over-flexible people? (usually women) I used to be a gymnast and I am struggling to keep the form and collapse to a bridge most of the times. I feel like most tutorial videos are for men, and the problems are different
More consistent practice would benefit me. I'm guilty of doing long grueling sessions less often rather than short 5-10min consistent sessions more frequently
in the under balance position, chest to the wall, if I move in front with the shoulders and then I try to push "up", what happens is that I just slide up and down with my feet on the wall, and I'm not able to detach them. Any suggestion to detach the feet from the wall in that drill?
hi paul, when i do handstand and i push away from the floor as much as i can and make my shoulders tall, my balance becomes more weak instead of getting stronger i dont know the reason for it ( also to note i keep my glutes and abs tight ) also paul if i am in handstand should my pelvic be pushed forward or backward ( assuming i am in handstand and the direction my fingers are pointing is forward )
What would be an optimal training schedule. I can hold a handstand but want to improve my time, line, balance window and percentage of success when I kick up. Is 15 mins a day good or could more be better? Thanks for the awesome video it addressed a few questions I had!
I think 15 minutes per day is good, but depending on what other strength work you're doing, you could have one day where you do more. I do one day of just HSPU and handstand training and another day I do all my other stuff (front lever, planche, muscle ups, etc., but I also throw in a little HSPU) basically just enough to maintain. On the other 5 days I do like you, just ~15 min working on handstands. Some days I work on kick ups, some days I work on holding for time, some days I work on overbalance/underbalance and I'm starting to try to maintain balance while moving my legs around like Paul recommended in a different video (it's tough!). But I'm still pretty new to calisthenics, about 6 months, so this is working for me, but everyone is different.
Learning the handstand is the weirdest thing ever, yesterday I made my first 10 second handstand ever, and 2 days later I couldnt get more than 2 seconds anymore like wtf..

Your best handstand video. 😊 thanks man.
Thanks!
Wow thank you 🙏 much appreciated
your lessons are gold...
Awesome points, loved the getting up the chair analogy.
I wish I could practice everyday but my wrist can't handle that right now 😭
Thanks Paul !
Ty Well made mate ❤

No problem!
Amazing explanation! ❤
Thank you! 😃
go up good tip
What would be your advice to get a high bar straight bar handstand press?
amazing
Thank you! Cheers!

also paul if i am in handstand should my pelvic be pushed forward or backward ( assuming i am in handstand and the direction my fingers are pointing is forward )
So my question is, should I still practice raw handstands even though my alignment isn't perfect?
Yes I'd do both but change the percentages depending on what you need to work on most. I've sent you a video link on your other comment

@@nicktsotu5493 thanks a lot for the feedback. Will try to focus on different aspects of the handstand everyday.

Yes that’s very common, it’s gets easier and more consistent with regular practice but balance is very different day to day
Ima go try and apply your advice.
Gonna add atferwards in this comment if it worked.
Awesome let me know
