Notes on the video: 1) Overhead band support (0:34) 2) 45* Wall Hollow (1:42) 3) Pike Handstand, shrug (2:33) 4) Pike Handstand, shoulder taps (3:07) 5) Pike Handstand, waist taps (3:33) 6) 45* Wall Handstand (4:12) 7) Chest to wall handstand (4:47) Thank you for the high quality video Daniel!
Great Video Daniel! This is exactly what I do for my clients who are learning how to do the handstand. I personally love the band drill. It works on your endurance and builds great body awareness.
Thank you so much. I am 57 years old, and am redeveloping my core strength because I want to continue to have good quality of life as well as having the stamina to help others. I have a yoga bench, and can bring myself into an upside down position, but all the weight is on my shoulders and clavicles, and I want to learn to do a real handstand, and quit punishing my clavicle shoulder area. I will say, that even what I am doing now is increasing core strength immensely…but I feel it would be better for me to learn the actual handstand. You have given me an excellent way to begin training for this safely. 🥰
I love your atrention to detail it really helped me a lot, especially since im 6"2 so alot of calisthenics. Skills are pretty challenging. Thanks mate.
I came on youtube because my handstand shrugs were giving me trap burn. I wanted to check if this was notmal or if i was engaging the wrong myscle. And the first video of daniels i clicked kn had thr answer. These videos are gold. Thanks daniel.
This is so informative... I've recently recovered from my shoulder pain and I was about to get into handstand training back again... Thanks for this video...
This is so good. Most people just tell you to kick until you do it but this is what I was looking for. How to build some strength. I'm pretty strong but I'm 67kg 6ft teenage boy
Will these movement help with OHP? perhaps as a warm up drill before doing OHP? Also how many reps for the shrugs and taps? And how long should we hold the static holds?
Instead of having your body facing the wall, inverse it. Meaning face the wall, do the handstand and if you over reach, your legs will hit the wall and stop you, keeping you from going over.
@@DrFit96 Everyone learns differently. I didn't like chest to wall personally and learned non arched fine with back to wall because I kept body alignment in mind.
I'm old, and I went directly to chest to wall handstands and tried to do a push up. Shoulder injury. The progressive steps in this video are what I should have been doing to work up to handstand type exercises.
thanks so much for those videos Daniel! i always wanted to join your programmes. now i finally got a proper job gonna be able to afford them:) right after i get better of my escafoides injury. cheers from Barcelona!
Cheers Daniel, I've been trying to learn the HS for the longest time but I can't seem to get it right. I am going to try these exercises as a foundation.
James D high rep band push downs. Very fast tempo, and shoot for 100 reps in a row. This WILL give you a crazy burn in the tendons and will help with blood flow to the areas that don't get a lot of it. Two sets of a hundred 3 times a week should do the trick.
I know this a late reply and maybe you already fixed your issue, but High rep eccentric exercises are usually the best thing for tendonitis. I recommend checking this post out if you're still having trouble: www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/42z67g/gathering_data_on_overuse_injuries_protocol/
Hi. Thanks for the video. Great deal of useful information! I'm quite new to calisthenics and would like to know if you would recommend doing these five exercises in one session or pick just one or two per session and on the next one pick other two different ones. Thank you!
Hey Daniel! These are really amazing exercises for improving strength necessary for handstand, I will definitely use them to help someone getting that and I would also like to add that another fantastic exercise which is a little bit harder is 90° hold in hips against the wall upside down, that helped me the most to feel more confident in HS, what do you think about this one?
Damn Daniel this is exactly what I needed! I had shoulder pain attempting HSPU's and pike pushups. Used your video to recover from that. Now I find difficulty in doing pike pushups at least with correct form. I believe I lack the shoulder strength. Very frustrating. Is this all I need to increase my shoulder strength to progress? What else can I do??
Great Great Video Daniel!!!! A+++!! This is an awesome video, and is just what I have been LOOKING FOR to get strength and confidence for being upside down for working on my handstands! Thanks a million Daniel!! Greetings from USA!! Daryl H.
Where would you suggest we focus the pressure in our hands? It feels like a lot of pressure is going to go to the wrist. Should we try to spread the pressure across the whole hand instead? Many thanks!
I have hyper extended elbows, which means if I lock my elbows my arms will be slanted outside. When doing handstand should I lock my elbows so it slanted, or keep it straight but not locked?
When trying to hold an elevated pike handstand, I noticed my wrists and knees give into pain the fastest for some reason. My knees can’t handle having me leave them straight while I hunch down in that V shape. Wrists hurt and ache the longer I try keeping myself steady. Then my neck makes breathing difficult, almost as if I am slowly suffocating. These things do really ruin my ways of trying to learn handstands. Am I going too soon into elevated pike handstands? Am I not stretching right?
thanks a LOT for this video !! How many times a week and sets/reps for progression ? Since this is a skill, then should be 2-3 times/week progressing from one type of handstand to another ? One more question - I tend to have "red eyes" after handstands which will go away, but not a pleasant thing to see - do you experience the same ?
Ying Bxua I think most people advice to train the handstand much more often, like almost every day, since it’s really hard to get the balance right, but obviously don’t overtrain (meaning don’t destroy your shoulders and if tired take a rest). I don’t know about the red eyes though, it could be an allergic reaction...
seems like increased blood flow to the eye itself causes this - hence wonder if this is a common thing and just stepped approach is required when training for handstands....Daniel can you please comment ?
To someone able to do the Handstand Chest to Wall, for HS strength purposes, I'd invest all the energy on it. Doing different progressions is not necessarily a good thing. They have to serve a purpose and deliver a good return on the investment you've made. And the Handstand Chest to Wall does just that, Amazingly!
I’ve tried doing handstand holds against a wall, and with walk ups to improve strength on my arms and shoulders, however I notice a lot of strain in my wrists? I’m thinking I should bring myself to puke holds to build wrist strength, does this matter or am at fine to do handstand holds using the wall?
Hey Daniel, I know this is not related to the video but I would really love your input here. I am currently doing FL rows as a GTG and was really wondering what back exercises I should do in my regular workouts. I know that some people still do pullups l so they have some vertical pulling in there too, so I guess that would be fine, but what about face pulls? It's a horizontal pulling exercise that fatigue small muscles in your back, so I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to include those. The only other back exercise I do is the one with a stick in your sternum prehab/pain from dips video. Hope this wasn't too long!
Hey Dan prolly a silly question but with the chest to wall handstand, I can’t get as close to the wall say as in your video. Is it just a matter of working closing towards the wall over time?
Hey I would try crow to handstand and a bent arm press to handstand in a pike position. It's easier than a hspu and you can build up a few reps with that before moving on to the free hspu. Also doing negatives and holding the bottom of the hspu will really help... Ohh and also doing some military press with dumbbells to get more volume in can be really beneficial too
Do you think planche push ups help to learn the arm position for hspu? I am not strong enough to do them yet but feel like I can't even start to try as when I do negatives I just feel so out of alignment it is too awkward. In terms of my arm position I mean, angel of elbows narrow or more flared both seem wrong.
Awesome video Daniel & great info. I'm looking to increase my overhead strength to be able to do handstands, etc. A lot of the things you do in your FitnessFAQs trailer I want to do one day. Great motivation, Thanks! Greetings from USA! d.

Namaste!
I was looking for "Simple exercises to build strength for a yoga handstand." This is spot on. Thank you.
I love your atrention to detail it really helped me a lot, especially since im 6"2 so alot of calisthenics. Skills are pretty challenging. Thanks mate.
thanks for the video! Handstand takes so long to evolve!
hows your handstand now if i can ask?
You are a fantastic teacher and an inspiration.
I came on youtube because my handstand shrugs were giving me trap burn. I wanted to check if this was notmal or if i was engaging the wrong myscle. And the first video of daniels i clicked kn had thr answer. These videos are gold. Thanks daniel.
I am always confused whose notification it is calisthenics movement or fitness faq. I realise it after video stats.😁
Best fitness guy on youtube! - Great job Daniel, keep the videos coming, absolutely love your content!
Thanks Daniel.
Insane vid bro keep it up loved it really helpful
Thank you!
I have found overhead squats help a lot with shoulder mobility and overhead strength for handstands. Good video!
Great vid bro keep it up loved it really helpful
This looks great, going to start it this week! Thanks for uploading it. Cannot wait to feel the burns and the gains
This is so informative... I've recently recovered from my shoulder pain and I was about to get into handstand training back again... Thanks for this video...
Mr. Daniel, you are such a good teacher! xoxo
Nice vid Daniel, but pleasssse, give us more clips from your workouts like you did in the past!!!
This is so good. Most people just tell you to kick until you do it but this is what I was looking for. How to build some strength. I'm pretty strong but I'm 67kg 6ft teenage boy
You are awesome! Just keep coming with the videos!
Did this yesterday and feel great after, you're right I find a lot of static ones boring and taps and shrugs help me build into a workout
Will these movement help with OHP? perhaps as a warm up drill before doing OHP? Also how many reps for the shrugs and taps? And how long should we hold the static holds?
I'm afraid to do chest to wall handstand because I don't know how to roll out of them. Does anyone have any tips?
Keep some strength in the tank; in other words, don't hold until failure.
Thanks for the advice man! I'll definitely try that
Instead of having your body facing the wall, inverse it.
Meaning face the wall, do the handstand and if you over reach, your legs will hit the wall and stop you, keeping you from going over.
@@jeffreyk8789 bad advice to teach non arched hs
@@DrFit96 Everyone learns differently. I didn't like chest to wall personally and learned non arched fine with back to wall because I kept body alignment in mind.
Wow the unilateral pike exercise at 3:15 is golden
Thanks so much Daniel.
I'm old, and I went directly to chest to wall handstands and tried to do a push up. Shoulder injury. The progressive steps in this video are what I should have been doing to work up to handstand type exercises.
Hope you’re okay now
thanks so much for those videos Daniel! i always wanted to join your programmes. now i finally got a proper job gonna be able to afford them:) right after i get better of my escafoides injury. cheers from Barcelona!
I just finished writing down my Handstand program, but it seems I need to revise, thanks for those tips Dan! Great Vid as always
Just 30 seconds into the video and I already get sore muscles from watching 😜
Great video and timing! I have been trying to learn handstand for a while. Deffinetly gonna use these moves.

Daniel, would you recommend any conservative treatments for "snapping triceps syndrome" or any exercises to improve this condition? Thanks

Could you do a video on how to increase handstand balance using different exercises perhaps? Thanks

Thanks bro
Can you do shoulder and waist taps while doing the chest to wall handstand? Thanks in advance
Shoulders opening exercices please !
VERY GOOD. CONGRATULATIONS.(MUITO BOM. PARABÉNS)

How many reps, sets and how many times per week?

Hi Daniel, any tips for The fingers?. when i do handstand on The floor my fingers bend to much. I don't know if i'm doing it right.

What is that band called? Where can I buy one?
Going to learn a good handstand soon, so it’s great you maked a video about it. Thanks a lot!
Im scared to fall on my back while doing face to wall handstands, what would you suggest?
roll to the side
Fall to the side

I know you've got videos covering how to warm up your wrists before exercises like the handstand but what else could I do to strengthen my wrists?
Do wrist curls. Also just look up some exercises and you find lots of them

Do you know How to get more reps on Free hspu? I can only do 1 rep Max, and cant any more, please Help! Thanks
If you can only do one rep I'd be doing other press exercises to build strength, like pike pushups.

You are very good man:)

Remember when I was making handstand on the wall, I lost control and fail. Hehe. But, I gonna try avoid fail again.
