See you in the next video!
OH MY GOSH, I had the strength, the balance, the flexibility. And I couldn’t do this. But your second tip just HANDED that press handstand over to me!!!!
Come Instagram DM
Anna Marie Krupka same!
Congrats!
Sameee
Same!
People who do tutorial videos, make some notes! This is a good tutorial, well done! Very well executed, good examples, proper explanation (Explaining why something is done, not just doing it). Got myself one extra tip from here, cheers!
great tips, but am I the only one who has to overcome fear? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Use da wall
Question was a year ago but..
Get yourself a soft ground not a yoga mat but like multiple blankets or beach chair cushion things
Fall on purpose
Do some tumbles roll on the ground drop your body in a controlled way so you know how to fail
then you know it's not a problem when you do
You can apply this to other things as well learn how to fail properly so you remove your fear
A) use a wall. B) learn to fall by using a mat and overpower your handstand to overcome fear and learn your swinging point.
What are you scared of? Lol
Use da water bed
good tips, as always! One thing I'd like to add because it made me go from not being close at all to doing my first press without any warmup is this; instead of just trying to lift your feet from the ground, start with your feet a little further (closer to a plank position) and slide them towards your hands on the top of your toes. From there you press handstand.
I think this works because you get an idea for the "rolling" up sensation because you start with a pulling like motion. And of course the momentum helps :p. Ill maybe make a video to explain it a bit better at some point!
I use a similar drill with clients a lot, definitely helps :)
Sadly I don't understand what you mean 😯 The way you explaining is not soooo very good 😉
I couldn't do a press to handstand, then I watched this video and on my first try I DID IT!!!
epicccccccccccc
hNord _Z for real ? How long you been trying for?
I about 4 months in and close to a bent arm press
hNord _Z oh really..?
how you can develop core strength for raising the hips in the bent arm press
Awesome quick tip video! I know what I gotta train for now
Great video.Unfortunately I was one of those ppl who always underestimate mobility and thought it could be compensated by strength :/
You can to certain degree but you're just making it harder for yourself ;)
I actually got my first press handstand last night after spending 3 days of practicing these stretches ! Awesome video man helped me pinpointed exactly what i was doing wrong .
We are on October. I will update every month to see when I get my press handstand
When I got notificiation from Tom Merrick: Fu*k yes!!! I needed this.
After I saw length of the video: Fu*k me...why so short?!
Marin, I feel the same. Why so short? I am guessing here, but Tom has probably been criticized for being too long winded. See for example 0:40 where Tom half apologizes for the older "long winded" video. Sure is hard to please everyone. But heck, I am voting with you Marin, no need to go to extra work to make them short. haha
ohhiguy So true! I dont usually enjoy longer videos but when it comes to Tom, i could watch 30min of him. He makes his video so entertaining, its unbeliveable. Glad you agree with me. :)
If it was up to me, I'd happily do a 30-minute lecture haha. Unfortunately, 90% of people only watch 3-5 minutes. I'll still continue to make those 20 minute ones but adding in these quick tips videos to distill those important pieces of info mean I can help everyone out :)
Tom Merrick wait really? I thought people were just like me, enjoying every second of your videos. It is probably because I watch plenty of other youtubers (fitness) so I learnt to recognize quality ones and appreciate time they put into videos. I hope more and more people will realize how quality your content is.
Whomoomoo good points. Nice to have both. Also good for this easy short video for newcomers Esp with the links for more info. Reel them in Tom!!!
You didn't done a press to handstand since a lot of months ago and then you got it now a tutorial hahaha what a beast xD good video!
I've been able to "do" the press to handstand for a few years. Still a long way to go...thanks :)
Tom, you better ignore this kind of comments! You don§t need to explain anything to them. Your videos are fully professional, understandable and you help a lot for those people, who understand what you are talking about! Thank you for your work! :D
@@doralugosi4617 the person said he wasnt able to do it a long time ago now hes here doing tutorials about it it was a compliment not a insult
I always love that your videos get to the point and don't drag on. Great vid!
I am struggling to rotate my hips, is this normal?
Maybe you need more hip mobility bratha
Awesome tips! Thank you! I forgot that I wanted to do this, I am gonna start training, I agree that it is an awesome skill)
I have the pancake and the pike fold flat but I still have to lean far over my shoulders and I still can’t do it 🥺
Why am I just finding this video now literally with tip 2 I can do handstands so much easier now wtf
Starting with legs together made it easier. Thanks man!
I love this turtorial man! Helpd me so much
awesome pieces of advice here, thanks Tom
The straddle move at 1:38- I can’t do without getting terrible cramps on the outsides on my hips. I am very flexible and I have all the mobility and strength and have my press. But I’m trying to do it from the seated position and for some reason I just can’t lift my legs like that
I have all the flexibility, lots of strength, but cannot balance the handstand yet. The balance is what i struggle with the most. With a wall i press up...easily, but without that wall, i d fall backwards. I find that leaning forwards until the legs come off the floor is extremely hard for my wrists, although i do a lot of planks, down dogs, aerial (i am an aerialist). Strange. What do i need? More Wrist strength?
Omg! This really helped! Thank u so much!
This video alone shows you everything you need to do for a press
I’m basically flat in my pancake and my pike fold is all the way down but my legs only come about and inch off the floor for like a split second and then they come down ! What do I do???!
Cotton Candy shoulder strength!
Tom Merrick ok thanks 👍🏼
Hey mate great videos.. Can you just clear this one for me.. I can bring my hips over my shoulder but I just don't know what musceles to use bring that legs up??? Cheers from India mate..
GOOD JOB TOM!
Darn i'm stiff as a rock haha. Looks like I'll achieve the straddle planche before a P to H due to the mobility issue. Thanks for the tips Tom!
No excuse! I couldn't touch my toes 4 years ago....get stretching ;)
the second tip made me do it hell yeahh, thanks broooo
Haha this comes at a perfect time when I was just watching your old handstand video! :D
Seriously great tips man! Gotta get my basic handstand first :)
Not just flexibility, body proportions matter as well. Short legs and long torso are not good to achieve the required tipping over of the hips without a jump. Basically, if you have short legs, it's as if you were doing it with your HANDS elevated on a block and feet on the floor. You can try that to see what "press handstand life" is like for the anatomically less fortunate among us.
Is it still possible to learn it..?
Mava Mava with a mini-hop it is very manageable, and I suspect with more training the mini-hop won't be needed either... it also depends on how deep forward you can bend
@@clray123 okay - thank you for the quick answer :D
I love that i basically need to do a full planche to press to handstand because i have the worst mobility you can imagine XD lol
I have three bulging discs which hinder me from doing any kind of compression or flexion in the lower back, so…we‘re in the same boat 🥲 good luck!
Am I the only one falling onto my face doing this?!
No 😂 Me here too 😣 This handstand thing is a damn shit IMO...
video on dealing with elbow tendonitis? great job with your channel!
Definitely in the works good sir :)
awesome!
It's interesting to see how your perspective has changed over time (You know what i mean)
Where do I need most strength?
Shoulders and your core
Ugh i still cant do it
Ok I think you’d need to come and help me cuz I KEEP FALLING OVER. I know how to walk on my hands, hold it, press up by jumping but somehow can’t lift myself up slowly !!! It’s too hard I feel like it’s impossible for me
Here's a little help from a bodybuilder... Grab yourself some shortbells and train the "shoulder press" with it. Use a solid weight to make ~6 reps. Do this 6 times with a break of 60-90sec between your (so called) "sets" of 6 reps.
After every 4 weeks you should need more heavier weights to NOT overpower your 6 reps. 6 is your friend, not more not less...
When doing so, after 6 months you will be able to lift your self up while handstanding😊
It's not working for me 😔
Thank you
I feel like my mobility is good but just can’t physically get my feet off the floor :/ do I need to focus more on the compression exercises? Also my wrists kinda hurt lol
Any tip for having less wrist pain? it is horrible
I thooght you were going to do a straddle press to handstand
Thank you 🙏🏿
great video
on a mission to get this!
Thank you mate !
Thank you!
Booom! Thank you sir!
Sweet 🍒 as cherryzz tuto' Tomo !! Thank you from a new subscriber in the land down under 👍
hey tom,can i give you a question? well,what's your favourite training? for example,my training i muscular failure (or even beyond),light/medium weights and medium/high reps. Strenght endurance. wgat about you? maximum strenght? skill? buffer or failure? anyway,great video!!!
I like to do a bit of everything. I generally prefer more strength moves though :)
Suggested subject after watching your vid on circadian rhythm: any progress in terms of insight in how quality of sleep affects your physical form and what constitutes good quality of sleep in your experience?
It does look like you never train late in the day, is that correct?
Could be a great video. I think the original video covers a lot of good stuff but diving more into sleep and recovery could be a good, and important, one to make :)
Would be awesome! Yup, circadian rhythm can be a bit of a headache if you want to adjust everything, so best use is focus on areas we want to specifically improve, and for me that's sleep (and digestion, but that's too complicated, I'd rather eat good stuff whenever I can instead of planning too much).
I did find that being more precise in sleep rhythm makes a different. I used to think I had a basic sleep cycle of 90 mins, but now I've fine-tuned it to 80 mins and it does make a difference.
Also less coffee (used to drink 4-6 cups a day, now 1-3) and no laptop to bed (even with f.lux) is better.
Major improvement also for those who are physically nervous : take a bit of time to relax physically right before bedtime. Whether through stretching or yoga, taking a slightly warm bath or short shower, having a good time with friends or family, quality time with partner, or even just 10 minutes of decent meditation... all of that can really make a difference. Cheers!
Creio que a o peso do movimento da press são em ficar maior parte suportando a perna na força isométrica.🇧🇷🙏👏👏👏
I kinda got bored wit doing over a hundred pushups at a time and accidentally did this glad to finally know what it’s called
Amazing
Core &stradle its so nice for core strength:)
absolutely :)
absolutely :)
How often should I practice press handstand a week?
You tore your supraspinatus and didn't become forever immobile? What on earth .. I've been recovering from bursitis for 14 months and am still not ok...
I am very flexible, but I haven't strength and I can't even move from the ground? Any tips?
it seems impossible when i try it
Bruh
when I did it I went into a forward roll
Felice Saw same
Awesome 😎
Yay, I got mine too😍
Ah, flexibility. That's why I can't do it. I can do freestanding handstand push-ups, but lifting my legs without bending my arms feels literally impossible
Thank u man
happy to help
your second tip was the one that let me got my press handstand dont get me wrong am a LEVEL Four gymnast
When I lean over my shoulders I fall that is why I can't do it
Same
How did you tear your supraspinatus
What if you have short arms!?
I can't even lift my legs up HELP
No video is helping ☹️
Bro, this is good just for advanced people... too advanced tips...
legs.
the shorter your legs the easier a handstand. its relatively easy to press into handstand with short legs. you almost never see acrobats who are tall and have very long legs compared to torso.
👌👌
I think I’d end up falling on my face forward or doing a bad front flip
Same here... meanwhile i think not everybody is able to do handstand. It's simple and sadly the truth IMO.
I need 10 years to reach it 😢
hand in 2 minutes in 5 steps
#aryanfitnessstreak
I’m really flexible, with a flat pancake and everything but when I try, I just fall over the other side :/ I can do it against something
The wall
I just can't take off, only get it by kicking up
It's kind of funny... Im a bodybuilder, pressing tons of weight in "shoulder press" & be able to perform some nice variations of headstand - but I can not do handstand. 1 year ago i started to train but - no chance. So I think not everybody is genetically able to do handstand; sadly.
David Beckham that's bullshit. If you're able bodied you can definitely do it. I just held my first 10 second handstand today after about 2 weeks of consistent practice.
Dude I am not flexible at all uh oh
Its working ,thanq for video,,,make me YT frnd....
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
(Japana not pancake love you tho)
Because I’m not skinny
this did not help
speak urdu

I didn't understand this comment until I just watched the video on suggested. These principles are pretty universally known in handbalancing though, nothing new :)
Your right men! The hips over the shoulders is Important for your Injury that brings the spine in a better Position . That put less Stress on your Supraspinats Tendon!✌️
I sorta lost mine 🥺🥺
Can a fat guy learn to do a handstand? :D
Yes th-cam.com/video/RUgbXynvpX4/w-d-xo.html
Yes but it's maximum difficult. When you're fat you don't have flexibility and don't have power. Both is needed for handstand...
