I'm 187, 75kg. You won't believe but seeing your insta snippets of hspu with "I can't stop" playing in the background, got me my first hspu. I always had this strict, with nose touch on the floor ideal in my mind and just few days back I achieved that with not 1 but 2 reps. So proud. Thanks a lot Sondre, seeing you doing that 1 finger hspu still pumps my shoulders.
That's great to hear bro :) The fact that you went straight to 2 reps just builds on my hypothesis that technique training is often neglected. You had the strength and once the technique clicked, you went straight for 2 reps. I see this a lot in my students. And congratz on unlocking the most versatile bodyweight strength skill there is :) A whole new world of opportunities just opened up for you! keep it going!!
@@Sondre_Berg it was a funny coincidence that I got it way back but wasn't able to do a nose touch and come back up, the one day I did, I was able to do two in a row :p. Also, yes I've neglected the technique part and have been banging just reps non stop, 4-5 times a week till I got it right. Thanks a lot. Keep inspiring.
I have injured my shoulders with labrum tear and tendinitis because of insisting on "proper" technique and going too fast on the progressions(some were together with "proper" coaches...), seeing this video is awesome for me at the moment. I hope I will heal and be able to do these again. Always, I mean ALWAYS listen to your body. Especially when your mind is too fixed on the goals. Just play and enjoy the moment, you don't have to race with anything.
I think it's a very good thing that a "master" of the handstand and hspu makes videos for beginners. He knows what he's talking about bc he has been so far with the hspu progressions, so "easy" stuff for him is really simple for him to explain. Thanks Sondre !
Such a great video!! Your thoughts on form are so true! I spent a lot of time trying to get my HSPU to look perfect when just learning it. I've realized how overrated 'perfect' form is... Also spent a lot of time falling towards my chest after using chest to wall HSPU as my main progression (always thought of back to walls as a bad progression from listening to people). Only thing I would add is that form can be useful in keeping difficulty consistent between workouts, but seriously I wish I had this information years ago... Definitely going to help a lot of people out with this one 👍👍👍
Nice video. I also think that many people move too quickly to wall assisted HSPU. I think spending more time with pike push ups and elevated pike push ups is very beneficial as well. I found that my wall HSPU improved then. You covered some great points and the one about back to wall HSPUs and tecnique work really speaks to me. I'm going to start to incorporate back to wall HSPUs once I can do more reps (4-5+). Cheers!
I think it's really cool how the crow to handstand is a shortcut to BOTH the handstand pushup AND the handstand press, besides being a great skill in its own right. It's unfortunate that it's so often seen as a "yoga thing" and underutilized in other disciplines.
Love your content bro. Great video. I was super bummed with my progress because of crappy form, its nice to know its a normal part of the journey. I cant wait to see you hit a one arm HSPU!
Thanks for that bro :) I see way to often that people are bummed out instead of hyped after achieving the HSPU. You should be hyped AF just unlocking the skill. It is an awesome achievement regardless of form, and the form will come with time :)
I find doing the HSPU with a straddle so much more motivating. I can do 3-4 reps for 5 sets and I get to feel for the motion. Hopefully my full HSPU can become 'nicer' over time :) Thx for this video !!!!! Some days I do wonder if I should be a form freak haha
A lot of people do :) It is mostly to do wiht the fact that many are more comfortable with a straddle handstand. Strength wise it is about the same. I imagine you will get the straight HSPU as your handstand gets better and more comfy :)
Thanks bro, I can do handstand about 20sec but I felt frustrated and just started to think that HSpushup is somewhat hard to do. This video is really helpful for me.
I will keep that in mind. You could check out my new app (link in description). It contains a program for HSPU including training for bent arm press and crow to handstand :)
Where should the weight distribution be through the hands during both the eccentric phase and the concentric phase?. Like more in the finger tips or the heel of the hand. By in the finger tips i mean similar to standing on your feet
Having most weight in the fingers is common in the beginning and makes it a bit easier because you can rely more on finger strength for balance. In the long term, as with handstands, you would want to focus on distributing the weight more evenly in the balm 👍 Having weight in the base of your palm or the hand heel as I like to refer to it will make you fall down in your legs very easily. Hope this helped :)
Is there an actual difference in the strength required to do a crow to handstand and a non strict hspu? The only diff is lowering yourself first, right?
I can do 8 strict wall-HSPU (chest facing the wall). I can't do a handstand but if someone is correcting me by holding my feet when I do a handstand, I can do 3-4 HSPU. Also, I have enough stenght to push from a headfreeze to handstand but I can't hold the handstand. What progressions should I train?
hahah, yeah, we are taught english at school :) We also get exposed a lot to english through movies, shows etc. and I have been traveling a lot, which really helps. It probably also helps that all of my courses through my master degree was in english and now as a PhD student, most of my colleges are non-Norwegian speakers :P
Hey sondre or anyone else I'm able to military or overhead press 115 lbs my bodyweight is 140 lbs and I'm able to balance a handstand for 15-20 seconds, should I start learning this move or spend more time increasing my hold.
A lot of people is guilty of that I guess, heheh. This is my opinion on the matter though, and I am well aware that there are many others who would claim something different 😅
You have become a way better TH-camr comparing to the previous years. Nice progress 💪🏻
I appreciate that! :)

Why is this guy so wholesome? I pumps out HSPUs and other skills like crazy but nothing about it seems like flexing

You might not get to a point you were before the injury, but you can get even better than that with proper lifestyle.
Gratz on 100k, Sondre! Returning to this video for training tips and noticed your recent gains - well done on your consistency, quality & work ethic 🌲
Yo… those drills you showed in the last segment are gold.
I think it's a very good thing that a "master" of the handstand and hspu makes videos for beginners. He knows what he's talking about bc he has been so far with the hspu progressions, so "easy" stuff for him is really simple for him to explain.

You're welcome, and thanks for you comment 😊

Completely agree on your point regarding form being a consistent indicator, which is definitely important (at some point)👍

Point 5 is giving me a lot of inspiration! Also it's a way to have fun in the meanwhile
Yeah, totally agree! It's as important to program fun into your workouts as anything else :)

I agree with you, being form geek is the reason you get slow progress...
I think the "form geek" is the best advice.
I find doing the HSPU with a straddle so much more motivating. I can do 3-4 reps for 5 sets and I get to feel for the motion. Hopefully my full HSPU can become 'nicer' over time :) Thx for this video !!!!! Some days I do wonder if I should be a form freak haha

@@Sondre_Berg thx man ur awesome!!!!
Thank you so much for this Amazing Tutorial 🙇♀️🙇♀️🔥🔥💪💪
You're so welcome! :)
i love this video man ! thanks Sondre
Super helpful video keep up the work❤
Thanks man! Great video and good explanation.
I will apply that to my training :)
The crow exercise seems like a great idea, especially as I'm a little heavier than ideal. Thanks!
Very comprehensive, mate.
Great points!
Good to see back bro
Yeah, i guess it has been a few weeks since my last video. Have loads of content lined up now, so keep tuned :)
Thanks bro, I can do handstand about 20sec but I felt frustrated and just started to think that HSpushup is somewhat hard to do. This video is really helpful for me.
Hey man do you have or could you make a tutorial for bent arm press or frog to handstand?
Nice content 🔥
I will keep that in mind. You could check out my new app (link in description). It contains a program for HSPU including training for bent arm press and crow to handstand :)
@@Sondre_Berg thanks, I'll check it :D
I agree great video 👍🏻💪🏻
Appreciate it!
You're Killer Bro ✌️✌️
I love your personality and your teaching skills good job also you are very strong
Awesome man 🤘
Great video!
Hi where is this location? The background is very scenic
Where should the weight distribution be through the hands during both the eccentric phase and the concentric phase?. Like more in the finger tips or the heel of the hand. By in the finger tips i mean similar to standing on your feet
Having most weight in the fingers is common in the beginning and makes it a bit easier because you can rely more on finger strength for balance.
In the long term, as with handstands, you would want to focus on distributing the weight more evenly in the balm 👍
Having weight in the base of your palm or the hand heel as I like to refer to it will make you fall down in your legs very easily.
Hope this helped :)
Thanks

@@Sondre_Berg what size would you recommend if I am 5'10 and 155 lbs lol
Great video Interesting stuff Big Big like 💪💪💪💪💪👍👍
Big Big thanks 😊
Very good video bro 👍👍👍
thank you :)
Is there an actual difference in the strength required to do a crow to handstand and a non strict hspu? The only diff is lowering yourself first, right?
Thank you!
Welcome!
I can do 8 strict wall-HSPU (chest facing the wall).
I can't do a handstand but if someone is correcting me by holding my feet when I do a handstand, I can do 3-4 HSPU.
Also, I have enough stenght to push from a headfreeze to handstand but I can't hold the handstand.
What progressions should I train?
Learn to handstand. Also, when you have to balance yourself, it’s much harder to rep out hspu
hows your handstand now?
How did you get so good at English? Do they teach you English in Norway or you learn it by your own? Holy cow! Role model in every way. :b
hahah, yeah, we are taught english at school :) We also get exposed a lot to english through movies, shows etc. and I have been traveling a lot, which really helps. It probably also helps that all of my courses through my master degree was in english and now as a PhD student, most of my colleges are non-Norwegian speakers :P
💪💪
Hey sondre or anyone else I'm able to military or overhead press 115 lbs my bodyweight is 140 lbs and I'm able to balance a handstand for 15-20 seconds, should I start learning this move or spend more time increasing my hold.
I think 15-20 sec is fine, however 30 sec would be a lot better
@@nerocalisthenics2829 I think I'm ready cause I got a pr of 40 seconds yesterday handstand gains coming in
The majority of people are not flexible. That is why they can do it only while keeping an angle in the shoulder aria.
Interesting stuff. I'm definitely guilty of being a form geek.. I can do 1-2 strict handstand push ups but struggling to get to 3 reps in a row.
A lot of people is guilty of that I guess, heheh. This is my opinion on the matter though, and I am well aware that there are many others who would claim something different 😅
