It took me half a year to be able to do reliable handstand press. (Funny side note: I’ve learned handstand press before handstand, so I was able to press myself into handstand but not to hold balance) I've started from yoga background so my progression was as follows: 1) First I’ve learned bent arms bakasana (crow pose), known as frog stand outside of yoga. 2) Second was straight arm bakasana, there is like million guides on youtube on bakasana progression on it's own. 3) Next big thing was tucked handstand press from bakasana... it's surprisingly easy because you are half way done with press movement. 4) After you are able to do tucked press from bakasana, before you do press movement you lower your feet almost touching the floor with your toes, unbending your knees. This is progression from tucked press to straight leg press. 5) As you straighten your legs during step 4 you start touching floor with your toes, offloading some weight to your legs. This is where real handstand press starts to take place. At this point it's SUPER IMPORTANT to keep leaning forward as you were leaning in bakasana otherwise you will be physically unable to lift your feet from the ground no matter how strong are you... physics, bitch. 6) At this point you should be able to do a handstand press without intermediate bakasana: at starting position for bakasana you don't just lean forward but you also lift you butt to make you spine almost vertical and than you lift your legs up with strength of your lower back. I know it looks super messy without visuals and ready to make clarification if anyone finds it useful.
I actually really needed this video I have been starting handstand presses but had no real idea where to start thank you you guys are my favourite channel!
Summary of Exercises: 1. L Sit compression in pike 2. Pike Lean (lean forward and try to shift the weight on your arms and shoulders, at some point your feet will leave the ground) 3. Wall assisted handstand presses (you can walk down the wall with your knees bent, remember to lean shoulders over your wrists) 4. Positive presses (hands on a high box or kitchen bench, pressing legs up the bench or walking the legs up with the toes) Level 2 Exercises 5. Negative presses from handstand (can use the wall if can't hold handstand yet, remember not to go too close to the wall because you need to lean forward when you go downward, can go down in straddle/pike/tuck) 6. Tuck Planch Presses (press yourself up from the tuck hold to the support planch, this will build up the necessary strength, allowed to use momentum at the beginning, when mastered, do it with control) 7. Assisted Handstand Press (elevate feet on a small box and press up from that)
Einfach nur danke ich mache jetzt ein Jahr calisthenics und habe mit meine Traumfigur Ich fühle mich endlich wohl und ihr seit ein Teil davon eure Videos haben mich sehr motiviert Dankeschön (scheiß YT Name ich weiß hab ich gemacht als ich noch jung war ;) )
Thank you excellent!! I am working on doing a straight handstand and the balance is sooooo difficult BUT I am going to make...Thank you and hall the success and happiness to you and yours:-)
Hi there! I really love this video. I can do press handstand but I want to do it from straddle. It’s really hard for me. We see a lot of videos showing drills to do press handstand but a few from straddle. Could you guys show us a video to start doing it? Thank you so much for sharing these amazing videos!
You guys are awesome. I'm a big unwieldy guy nearing 40 so I'm a way off this standard yet. I think I would always struggle with balance for some moves.... Do you have a gymnastic background El Eggs?
Michał Baciński think of your hips like they are being pulled by someone upwards.Or think of getting your belly button as high as possible while leaning forward and youll notice your feet gonna lose contact automatically
very good tutorial thanks! I'm able to perform straddle press to handstand on floor but i'm not ablte to perform press on handstand with parallette and tuck press handstand with straight arm! Can you tell me some tips to achive it, please?? Thanks!!
So I tried it today I managed to get my head down and my body up but the moment I stretched my legs slightly out I fell over and bear in mind I fell on my upper back on a TV and a air purifier causing my parents to panic and run into my room
hey man, awesome tutorial as well. I saw you put the channel from where you took the instrmental but could you detail the name of the track, cuz he has so much musics on it... Thanks!
danke danke danke :-) ich habe ein kleines Problem ich übe momentan hamstring pike Stretch also im stehen die Handflächen vor die füße ich bin jetzt an dem punkt angekommen wo ich mit den Fingerspitzen den boden berühren kann nur seit 3 Wochen komme ich nicht weiter runder und ich habe schon viele Stretches bemacht
Sir unilateral whole body workout if we have one side weaker or heavily injured how to correct it make a detailed by bodweight exercise at home without equipment s plz sir support me
+He Ziyong Depends on your goals. For holding a handstand or doing a handstand press it's not the best exercises, but if you want to train your balance in general or like to walk on your hands why not :)
Hey Calisthenicmovement, I am having some problems with my press to handstand. When I press up, I fall forward at the point just before I have to extend my legs. Any tips on how to improve?
+kosinus trollet Hard to say but Level 3 is designed to get stronger and reach level 4. If you're not ready for the level 4 requirements after completing level 3, just start with level 3 program again. Sometimes you reach a plateu and it can take time to get to the next level.
What exercise would you recommend so I can get the press ups down? Because I can do the negatives without any walls but I cannot lift up even with a block. :(( HELP ME PLEASE! Thank you
Hello is there any way to increase teh strength of my wrists? They hurt terribly after performing a couple of handstand presses ... same with my planche training
I am nowhere close to being able to press all the way through from seated using parallettes, either straight or bent arm. Which exercises are best if I want to progress into these specifically? I am female and able to do straight arm handstand press from the ground using some shoulder/core and a lot of balance and flexibility. (straddle - very easy, tuck - fairly easy, pike - less easy, can't pull legs up past 'L' shape after doing several in a row)
I'm doing the bent press but then I put down my legs slowly as a negative straddle press, so which sets and reps i can do it? 2 weeks ago i did a straddle press but now i can't do any press, why that is happen?
thank you for replying . I may have misunderstood but do u mean u are training since u were seven or u started at 27. I do normal weight training and I jog for at least 20 mins when I get time but I am not interested in this . I don't just want to build muscle , I want to build the actual muscle strength, resistance not just size .I am from India can I learn calisthenics or gymnastics . I was always interested in some thing like this but it's not available in India. Calisthenics and Gymnastics are they same ?
Excuse me ,i know it’s weird if i ask the question here but know i have some problem about my routine ,which is i train for strength monday,wed,friday and tues,thursday,sat fot stretching but my hamstring’s so hurt when i pike stretch can someone show me what’s wrong with my routine,thanks alot
Rash Pandey For pressing, mainly shoulders at the beginning and later traps. You'll also feel a lot of pressure on the wrist and for keeping the right posture throughout the movement you'll require activation on most major muscle groups at some point.
should shoulders be elevated in the bottom position of the press, as in planche shoulders are depressed, but i know that in handstand shoulders are locked/elevated.
We LOVE your Tutorials! True quality content! Thank you!

What is the name of those things he starts using after 0:30 to do his press?
Hi Alex, is handstand walking recommended as a part for training?
+He Ziyong Depends on your goals. For holding a handstand or doing a handstand press it's not the best exercises, but if you want to train your balance in general or like to walk on your hands why not :)

I am just worried to lean forward more to bring my feet off the floor without the wall.. Any suggestions.. Thanks
I'm doing the bent press but then I put down my legs slowly as a negative straddle press, so which sets and reps i can do it? 2 weeks ago i did a straddle press but now i can't do any press, why that is happen?
I did eveything you said i always get my elbow bended when i go up .... Any solution bro
this probably got fixed overtime if you still train calisthenics. But its shoulder strength
Thanks guys :D

What are areas where force is exerted while practicing press handstand.?
Rash Pandey For pressing, mainly shoulders at the beginning and later traps. You'll also feel a lot of pressure on the wrist and for keeping the right posture throughout the movement you'll require activation on most major muscle groups at some point.
I can hold tuck planche for 20 seconds but i cant even move from this position.What should i do.
should shoulders be elevated in the bottom position of the press, as in planche shoulders are depressed, but i know that in handstand shoulders are locked/elevated.
Pav Asenov, moar liek Ass Pavenov amirite?!
I am an amputee so do not get the exact push from the leg how can make it possible
how can i start training the planche?
