How to press handstand?
The press to handstand is cool skill and a classical bodyweight/handstand move in that it requires both strength, mobility, technique and balance. Learning the handstand press is on many movers bucket lists due to its elegant nature. I mean, it looks pretty bad-ass to just glide into a handstand entry like this, doesn’t it?
In this tutorial I will present press to handstand progressions and drills that you can learn to develop the strength for the handstand press up.
The press to handstand is a popular handstand skill in both gymnastics, bodyweight strength/calisthenics, as well as yoga and rightfully so.
This video tutorial for the Press to Handstand attacks the move from three angles: strength, mobility, and balance/technique. More specifically I will let you in on the best exercises, progressions and drills to build strength for the Press to Handstand, stretches and exercises to acquire the needed mobility, and techniques to help you learn the press to handstand.

I really think I found a gem of knowledge and I am one of the few that did.
heheh 😜
Very true, I literally just thought the same
As a lady I usually avoid learning body weight exercises from men because most of them teach techniques that are simply impossible for me.
But your Sir are amazing. You break everything down and give honest advice. There's no showboating, no fake bravado...
You give practical doable steps.
Thank you so much for teaching these techniques.
You're the best.

The best handstand tutorial, easily
Some of your videos are sooooo helpful !
Love your approach to teaching - thanks Sondre
Really enlightening, one of the best tutorials on the subject! Thanks!
This is one of the best tutorials I've ever watched.
Great tutorial. Implementing now. Thanks!
Some of the best guides to make calisthenics accessible where it meets people wherever they are in their progressions. Also, doesn’t hurt that the production quality of your content is top notch!
Excellent video.
Really well explained and demonstrated.
Thank you, a pleasure to have gained knowledge I will put into action
Thanks Sondre🙏 for your precious instructions and advice
I am impressed by your tutorials. You have an amazing ability at describing how to do these moves in ways that make sense. Thank you for these videos!
One of the most lovely videos on TH-cam, surely! And of course very useful!
I am female & have a goal of handstand at 50. Have tender glutes after trying kickups yesterday. Managed to get some lift but have a way to go until get hips up. It seemed easier when I was a thin kid & teen. Working on my strength & flexibility. Now have big hips, bum & short legs so quite a challenge.
Nice.
How’s it coming along?
@@LeighaButler I managed some wall handstands then injured myself. Intend to build up again but will only do versions without momentum (I injured hip flexor with lunge)
Way to go!
Man I love you! You mentioned so many things to consider which I've never thought of. Keep up the good work!
Great tutorial! Thanks 🙏
Your ability is amazing!! Genius!! 👏👏👏👏
Amazing especially seeing him do it with flexed feet which is harder in the beginning. Thank you for these progressions.
Dude, the shoulder strength explanation helped me figure it out. Thank you! I can’t believe I did it
Wow so many good tips . I’m just getting to hold a hand stand against the wall for about 30 seconds so I’m going to use some these tips to train with . Thank you 🙏🏼
Best tutorials on the internet :D always. So much clearer cues and concepts than most ppl. let's hope u get to 5 mil subs :P
The video is amazing, thank you very much!.
I feel enlighted after watching this video😃🙌🏻 Thanks for sharing Sondre😊
Wow. This is so well explained!!! Thank you Thank you Thank youuu!!
Very very very Helpful This Sondre!! Thanks a lot🤸
Great video!
Perfect tutorial!
I loved the detailed breakdown!! Great job!!
Thanks 😊
Yes I agree,I'm no where near doing a full planche ,but since I've doing the tuck ,I physique and strength has transformed.
whaaa really cool your tutorial video. Complete and good detailled. I'm french and I was happy and surprised to understand all things you explained. I'm novice with the Handstand. I'm training with frog to h., L-sit to H., and simply Handstand/press to H (a sort of).
And I'm more motivate now to train to do the Press to Handstand (and to continue with the Tuck planche and Lean planche).
Thanks a lot :)
i'm 45kgs over weight. i lost 22kgs in past 6months . i'm 20 more away to reach my goal. i will reach my goal in exactly 5months. my goals post mid 2022 will be six pack training,learning kickup&handstand, learning basic boxing techniques. thanks for the tutorial,added this to my playlist will follow this after 5months.
Sounds like an awesome plan you have there! Keep going and best of luck 🔥
Amazing video 🙂
Most needed video thank you 😍
you are welcome 😊 hope you enjoy it
Awesome breakdown of tips to get HS!!
11:15 Defenitely going to be using that drill, that's a really good one
Let me know how it works for you 😊
great video thank you
Boy, You well done, You explain very well. Молодец👍
Thank you for sharing this. I used to think that long legs are good help in press up handstand since our hips are easier to be positioned above pelvic but in all the videos I watched people said that long hands short legs are more beneficial. Because of this I thought that may be I was wrong. 🙏😄
WOAH! Now that is one awesome location!
Tours?
I needed this video!!!!
❤❤❤this is what I was looking ❤❤❤ thanks 🙏
Teach other ones soon...
Really good concise tutorial and breakdown of elements! Even though I knew elements from it somewhere, you organized and structured it so well and explained it very clear! Instant subscribe+like
Glad you liked it 😊
Thank you so much.
Men, you are really a inspiration and a true master of your craft. I came across you watching your video about planche a month ago, and because i'm still recovering from a wrist sprain, i've been doing your wrist push ups, just to prevent it from happening again! Thank you man, I send you blessings! 😎🙏🏻
Happy to hear you like my content 😊 Let me know if you get your wrist sorted out! Good luck!
To me this is the best tutorial to learn the press to handstand, it's been a year since I have begun calisthenic, and I have applied nearly all the advice hear (without seeing this video my experimentation just lead me to trying a lot of what Sondre present here) the only "criticism" I can make is to maybe focus on the tuck press to handstand as it allows you to attempt the move quicker as not nearly as much flexibility as the other version (not saying working on flexibility is bad I think quit the opposite but being able to attempt the move as quick as possible seems important to me) I would also advise training the bent arm press to handstand (frogstand to handstand is an achievable goal it was my first press to handstand ever) as it allows you to work on the same type of pattern but including a strong strength element to it. I have unlocked the tuck press to handstand a month ago and I have just unlock, L-sit to handstand yesterday, and today I have unlocked the pike press to handstand and the tuck planche to handstand so being consistent and patient does pay off sometimes you can unlock a lot of skills very quickly and the different presses are good example of this. Hope this can maybe complement this already excellent video
Great video Berg.
Thanks 😊
good job thank you
Mucho bueno amigo vikingo

Thank You
Thank you
Easy for you to say ❤
THANKS SONDRE BERG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank bro for information
lovely!
When I was a teenager ,we used to pop up into a handstand on a skateboard in a similar way,,while moving and it almost seemed like it was easier than doing it on flat ground
Just tried this (Been training it on and off for a bit). As soon as I used my back properly as you displayed I felt a new centimeter of movement, AND then my entire lower stomach when into full cramp, similar to a hamstring LOL Thanks for uncovering the areas I get to address!!!
Glad to hear! Good luck in learning this great skill🔥
I love how I’m your demonstration you just casually pop into positions I currently can only dream of holding😂 and then talk in them😂
Hahah😜 I’ve been practicing for many years. You’ll get there as well if you stay consistent 💪
@@Sondre_Berg thanks:) haha
From now you are my coach:))
😊
thank you"
You deserve more subs
I’m 52 and I’ve been training to do the press up for almost three years! Almost there… start young if you can!!
Need many, many years exercise befor to beginn this program....
can you explain or do a video of "pushing your back to make body shorter"? Thanks
This video is great! I've only been training my handstands more consistently for 2 months (before that I'd only do it like once a week at most vs now several times a week) and I'm at a point where I am more consistently getting 10s holds when pulling off the wall, but still struggle with finding that balance point when kicking up into the handstand. I know I still have balance to improve on, but I at least want to start working on the strength for the press as my shoulder strength is definitely lagging behind everything else. I have decent flexibility so I'm not too worried about that.
Anyways, I think I will look up drills/exercises for the planche tuck and build up shoulder strength & do some of the active hip flexor things you showed, while still working on just the balance part of my handstand. That way, in a few months hopefully I'll be able to bring them all together for a press!
Also, I know so many ppl suggest not to work on the press at all until you can hold a better handstand and while I don't disagree, I still think I can work on the required strength for it alongside the balance so I appreciate you giving drills and strength exercises that aren't only geared to the press but a beginner who eventually wants the press can do as well.
Coach berg, proud bergmoVement here🙂
😊
Bro there are 6 years old girls doing a handstand and you are telling me a handstand is about for strength? Keep up the video man! Love the comic delivery.
This was wonderful. Pure gem. But ..What if I just lack the strength to do it? How do I know if I am lacking in flexibility, technique or simply body strength?
Great to see your Wildling shoes :)
One of my favourite shoes😊
Thank you bro, I'll wait for subtitles in Spanish 😃
Will come soon :)
I found out that when u keep your legs together then lean forward and then straddle your legs, u can boost yourself to a handstand, especially when lacking flexibility
True, because your legs are longer when closed and you’ll get your hips further up! 👌
Hope this video helps me to get this movement,Which despite having some shoulder strength(that is the part I think I need to get stronger) and I have very very good Harmstring flexibility and a solid handstand hold,I cant lift more than my toes a bit
Hey! Nice video, helps a lot. I’m learning it also, and noticed that normal palms forward position attack the wrist dangerously while leaning forward at the beginning of the press. Do you think that about a 45 degree turn out of the palms (like at the planche) would help in a good way?
Great😍
Could u make a video about elbow? Suffering from years of golfer's elbow. Have u got some suggest and exercise?
Since im almost able to do the middle split, what took me 1 year, i was planning to start with this.....after watching your video, idk 😂 thanks for the demotivation
Sondre, I noticed you mentioned having long legs is helpful. How do we train that?
that was super comprehensive...i can do wall stand pushups, but still no free standing handstand yet. i wish i was at the level to put these tips into practice.
You’ll get there for sure😊 just stay consistent and train smart and your handstand will come soon enough 👍
@@Sondre_Berg thanks for the encouragement...
Dude, amazing scenery for these videos. I live in Norway as well, but it seems like Bergen is a place with much worse weather (and temperature for what I know) than where you are, haha.
Btw, that straddle planche press you did there was insane! I can't imagine being able to do that, but maybe one day. I agree that planche work helps with press to handstands because both are shoulder flexion, right? I'm going to continue on my pseudo planche push ups and planche leans and see if I can get a press in a couple months without much direct work (knowing that I will do a lot of pike/pancake and L-sit work as well).
Great video. Cheers.
I am going to visit Bergen for a few days in the beginning of November, do you have any recommendations on places that I should definitely check out? Also, do you know a cool spot in Bergen where I can do some calisthenics (a scenery similar to this video would be awesome!). I'm from the Netherlands so I should feel right at home with the bad weather :)
Well, some places you could visit are Fløyen and Ulrikken (mountains). Fløyen has attractions and a calisthenics park on top. You can take a gondola sort of thing up there, or you can walk.
There are a few museums there like the one for natures history (different animals and plants etc) and a fishing museum.
Other than that, check it out yourself. The web has a lot of stuff. Hope you have a good stay.
Cool! Seems like you’re allready on your way then😊
kan jo egentlig skrive norsk 😂 stedet jeg filmet på her var i Fagernes hos moren til kjæresten. Bor I Trondheim og desverre ikke stort bedre vær her enn i Bergen 😅 denne videoen var forøvrig også filmet for nesten 2 måneder siden😜
Ah, det gir mening. Har lagt merke til en ganske stor værforskjell mellom høsten og sommeren.

What about practicing shoulders to the wall to eliminate the lean?
Thank u so much! I have an odd question. I can even do pike press to handstand but only when a wall is behind me though i don't even touch a wall but when not having to a wall behind me i am just lost. What to do about this? ,😯😯
What are your thoughts on l sit for the hip flexor hamstring flexibility core compression aspect of it. Besides being primary medium degree of shoulder flexion strength
How do you position your hands, should they be sgoulder width apart?
How to Hefesto?
what order of calisthenics achievements (muscle ups, front lever, back lever, planche, handstand, and human flag) should we go for; going from easiest to hardest.
It’s very individual which of these are hardest, but I would definitely say handstand 1st mostly due to it’s carryover and applicability to other skills. Back lever is the easiest of the levers, muscle-up is a cool and attainable skill. Human flag is the least useful, but very cool and also easy to injure yourself, so I actually recommend waiting a bit before perusing it. Front lever can be started early on is provides a great back and core workout. Training toward the planche is also super relevant and the carryover to other skills are huge.
To sum things up, I would personally recommend focusing on handstands for skill training and to develop strong shoulders and great body awareness. I would train planche strength and front lever strength, and include back lever as every now and then for skill training as the planche strength will have carryover to this. I would also train for the muscle up by building strong and explosive pull-ups and strong dips and include some specific technique training on the side. This will allready provide a complete workout with push and pull strength, both bent and straight arm. And also it would include some technical training to achieve some cool skills.
Human flag I would recommend to wait until you at least have very stable handstand (in terms of strength), at least solid tuck planche and dragon flags.
👍💪😎
Which workout pants do you use?
Does anyone have advice for short legs and long torso? When I fold over my shoulders are barely lower than my hips.. would I need to lean over even further?
Atleast have the same pancake as sondre or deeper
You'll be a big TH-camr soon
Haha, I guess we’ll see 😊 but thanks for believing in me
I hope I can get an answer with this. when doing handstand is better to your hands to tilt it like 45 degrees or better to put face it on front.
Front 100%. A 45 degree angle is much more difficult, but may be useful in moves such as press to HS, planche and other skills that requires a steep wrist angle
Are hand stands better than coffee for waking you up?
In your opinion does crow pose train strength for developing shoulders in the beginning?
Yes definitely! Once you are able to, you should try elephant as well (crow with straight arms) - it’s even more relevant
More specifically body comes outside center of gravity line... to center of gravity when both legs go all the way up...

*I never practice this press to handstand but weird I can do it easily from a full split into a handstand, I'm a tricking martial artist though but I wish my legs are as strong as my upper body, what am I gonna do with these ground moves when I love flying in the air, it's like I was given somethin I didn't really ask for, for Free*
😭😭 *I want strong legs so I can backflip as high as shosei iwamoto*
*I don't want this press to handstand or split to handstand I want high backflips and tripples and Quadruples twist*
Why is it that I can bent-arm press to handstand but I cannot do it straight-arm?
