The most astonishing thing and a proof of your strength is that you're talking while doing the exercises. I'm trying not to crap myself while doing handstand... I hope I'll be there one day! 💪🏻🤙🏻
Timely video. I never have a problem pressing with my fingers enough to bring myself back from overbalance.. but underbalance is my kryptonite! Time to add this drill...
I’ve consumed a lot of content - ur idea of training the underbalanced position is a very unique perspective - appreciate you sharing. I can’t freehandstand yet but hopefully this nugget does the trick!
Hi Paul! Love your videos and everything you teach! I think this will be the way to completely straighten out my line, no? I am 87% of the way there, but my back still doesn't have the perfect straight clean line I want (like yours). These drills are so much harder than they look but I'm going to give it a go! Thank your for all your help and advice! It's a life long journey to have the perfect HS, but it's so worth the work!
nice video bro, so i am at the stage where i am fully comftorable doing chest to wall handstands but im just using the wall for assistance because im trying to find my balance and take my feet off the floor. Also i have 100% got the strength and flexibility and mobility for the handstand i just need more balance. Would it be neccessary to be able to hold chest to wall handstand with feet off the wall for 5 reps of 10 seconds and then go into kick ups as kick ups are an entry phase to the handstand. i fixed my shoulder placement which helped alot and pushed with my arms shrugging my shoulders
Practicing handstand with wrist band is a bad idea because you can't develop strong wrist while learning handstand. This under balance position I think has a great demand of wrist endurance I will start practicing this drills Thank you mister Paul❤
Love your content!!!! I tried the under balance facing the wall drill today leaned a little too much and fell. Not horribly but not great. Can you do a video how to bail or fail properly? That would be awesome. Also, the wall I am using is behind a rig (like in a crossfit gym) so support beams are present. Thanks Paul and greeting from Los Angeles!!
where should the weight be at while in the under balance position? or rather, should i push more with the heels of my hands or fingers of my hands in under balance
Now I don't understand how to combine it, recently you talked about pushing up to the ground, and with this movement I'm not sure if I'll be able to do a straight handstand again. I've been practicing handstand for two years and it was very difficult for me because I wanted to have perfect technique and a straight line. Ultimately, I have a straight line and I'm afraid that this movement will disturb it.
I learned handstand with this method. Can you make a video on going from under balance to a controlled straight HS line? The strength is their but the balance, proprioceptions and shoulder engagement is lacking. Its hard to lock my shoulder in that stacked position because I am so good at holding the under balance with shoulder strength.
Doing the back to wall leans do I have to make sure that my whole Back touches the wall? I’m having trouble where my but and upper back touches but not the lower back
I tried it but I’m not advanced enough to stay in such a strict full body diagonal shape. Not possible for me, I’m used to also already having hips over shoulders
Yeah hips over shoulders will work but it makes you very top heavy which is harder to control. Build conditioning through chest to wall holds and toe slides from wall. It will come 🙃
@@PaulTwymansame here, i film myself from the side, with toe slides i hold the straight line, but when i am doing toe pulls, i often observe an angle between legs and torso (slightly piked hips) I have been doing this drill for more than half a year now and generally I’m comfortable with it, sometimes i do 20s holds from it, but still I cannot understand how to catch the underbalance when kicking up. When you kick up, it seems that your legs are sometimes relaxed and you still catch the balance. I thought that for catching such a line in underbalance one’s abs and glutes should be activated?
It’s very individual, listen to your body and reduce intensity and volume accordingly. My female clients normally continue but we sometimes reduce workload
Hey Paul, not sure if you can answer this, but ive been following along with your handstand videos, and ive gotten so much better thanks to you. I have run into a problem though, whenever i get into the Handstand position against the wall, with my back to the wall, I feel a terrible pinching/tingling/burning sensation in my right should/upper trapezius when i stare at the ground. Ive kind of hit a wall that I cant push past, any advice would be amazing. Thank you for all your videos. Sorry for the confusing paragraph
Great to hear you have been seeing progress after watching and practicing. Tingling and pinching is quite common with anything overhead and can normally be reduced or taken away by creating more space. I try a few things like wider hand position, external rotation of hands (at minimum index finger forwards), increase overhead mobility with hanging, thoracic mobility etc. If that does not help I recommend being assessed by someone in person. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome can cause these types of symptoms
@@PaulTwyman It will be done! Thank you so much Paul, your videos and advice have been invaluable. You are a massive inspiration to me, I will get my handstand press some day!
Gold.
Thanks!

I love You balance , it's My goal 👊👊
Those handstand wall leans are 100% the reason I finally got a really solid push-up
Yes they are a great drill
solid push-up?
Sir I can do headstand but not handstand plz share full basics for handstand.

So its all about shoulder strength?
Yes but positioning/skill of the movement
can i practice handstand on my period ..is it harmful for my body to be upside down during that time of the month ??
