Thanks for good explanation! Will try these tips and tricks right away! p.s. couldn't get my eyes of this cute dog of yours. Such a great bonus to the tutorial! 😍
I really liked that you allow beginners like me to do the banana handstand, other TH-camrs say that it's just not acceptable. My HS is not extreme banana, my legs remains touched together, it's just a slight banana which I'm not able to fix for a month now. But now after watching your video I'll surely follow all these steps, thank you very much!
Amazing tips, thanks! The one about your arms getting bent when your hands are too close to each other and you're lacking flexibility is awesome and I've never heard it before! It's something I noticed with my handstand but never figured I can just spread my hands a bit farther apart.
The “one-two” drill is very helpful! My longest hold after 7 months of training is 26 seconds, so I’m getting there. All this with a pretty bad lower back. In any case, my kick ups are incredibly inconsistent. Thank you for the great drill!
Yes that’s totally normal. You will be fighting yourself a lot when learning which uses up loads of energy. Stick with it and it will become easier and easier
Great the finger position made a difference. Overtime the floor or Handstand surface won’t make much difference but when learning it makes a big difference
When I'm against a wall I kick up and barely even touch it and can hold my handstand 6-7 secs.. But when i try to do the same in the middle of the room I can seem to hold it for longer than 2-3 secs... What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for the encouragement. I am up to a five second free handstand, but do I look like a banana. I’m glad you made me feel OK about that. I need to figure out how to fix it though
@@PaulTwyman When I step into it I have enough momentum to kick up into a handstand next to the wall and am also able to hold it for 45 sec (although perhaps not very much longer). I am still scared of falling though so cannot do a nice straight chest to wall handstand at the moment.
This is very common if you have a yoga background. Try bending the knees more as you go up and learning to balance/control with the shoulders not the hips
I’ve got an inconsistent balance. Slow progress- 5 months in on it. I can get a 5-10 second balance once in awhile. I usually kick not enough or too much
@@PaulTwyman Thanks for the reply ,i think during the handstand is my bigger problem , because pften my knees and hip just start star bending over(like in a bridge ) over my head and i cant keep them in this "locked" straight position. Ps. Kick up is also not completely straight but it is improving the more i train it
@@angelstormmm7899 yeah it’s normally a combination of mobility and position of strength. Daily hanging can really help the mobility and chest to wall conditioning holds can teach the body a better position

Yeah and its a great way of tracking your progress, week to week, month to month watching your line change
Great tips, thanks. I thought the rain was applause at first because of the one arm handstand!🤣
Was great timing!!

Commenting for algorithm. You deserve so much more recognition. You are the reason I was able to take my Hs from 30 to 60 seconds.
That’s awesome!! Great to Hear
Thanks for this, you explain it all really well.
Great to hear, hope it helps
I love your videos
Thank you!
Best TH-cam Channel for Handstand that is out there… keep up the great work. Greetings from Germany.
Thank You!! Great to hear
Is it normal to feel a bit out of breath practicing kick up if I am a beginner? Can't even imagine doing 10 reps in a row 😅
Yes that’s totally normal. You will be fighting yourself a lot when learning which uses up loads of energy. Stick with it and it will become easier and easier
How is it that you don't loose your cap while being upside down with your head??😇
Big head and small cap 👌
Does having an unbalanced platform or ground gravely affect your handstand? Also that index finger pointing straight was really helpful
Great the finger position made a difference. Overtime the floor or Handstand surface won’t make much difference but when learning it makes a big difference
When I'm against a wall I kick up and barely even touch it and can hold my handstand 6-7 secs.. But when i try to do the same in the middle of the room I can seem to hold it for longer than 2-3 secs... What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for the encouragement. I am up to a five second free handstand, but do I look like a banana. I’m glad you made me feel OK about that. I need to figure out how to fix it though
Time and consistency 👍
im new here, very nice you have playslists sub like and thanks
I just cant seem to get enough stenght to kick up all the way, despite having practiced for years. Would you have any suggestions?
Hard to say without assessing. Can you hold 45sec + chest to wall handstand?
@@PaulTwyman When I step into it I have enough momentum to kick up into a handstand next to the wall and am also able to hold it for 45 sec (although perhaps not very much longer). I am still scared of falling though so cannot do a nice straight chest to wall handstand at the moment.
What is a solution if you kick up and your hips stuck in pike?
This is very common if you have a yoga background. Try bending the knees more as you go up and learning to balance/control with the shoulders not the hips
Where should u place ur hands when kicking up to the wall?
different for everyone but a good place to start is one hand space away
7:01 😂😂 balancing is not that easy
yes 😂
I’ve got an inconsistent balance. Slow progress- 5 months in on it. I can get a 5-10 second balance once in awhile. I usually kick not enough or too much
Most detailed handstand coaching out there! You give great advice!
Thank you! Great to hear!
How do i keep my legs staight?
In Handstand or while kicking up?
