PAUL THANKYOU SO MUCH!! I was the one who emailed you and commentend on your video about making a video for balancing on the parralettes. Thankyou so much paul for uploading the video. We really appreciate you🙏🏾
Thanks again! U r great! Can u please explain in detail or separate video what is the “open shoulder “ position? But more detailed, how we should focus on having it corect done! 🙏
I will try the wall drill! I’ve been practicing HS on my hands for a few months and could hold it about half of my attempts but it hurt my wrist way too much so now I’m trying to learn HS on paralette and I can barely hold 1 in 10 attempts when trying free standing so I guess I have to go back to the wall first!
Excellent Paul...and you pointed out exactly the Pbars I'm using: hexagonal dumbbells. Good point about handstand entry with shoulders over hands...think I was starting too far back as you showed...what is your hand distance away from the wall? Looks further than I've seen you do w/o the Pbars - looks like about 2 hand lengths? With hands 1 hand length right?
Thank you, Yeah I’m further away for these demonstrations. The P bars allow you to use more strength so it’s easier to be a bit further away. I’d do a mixture of both 1 and 2 hand distances from wall
I don't think I ever met anyone who learned HS on parallettes before they learned it on the floor. For myself, I can say that the reason I learned it later was because the extra height (even if just a little) greatly increased both how 'scary' it was and the difficulty of jumping to handstand. A few months into floor handstand training both factors became negligible.
I´m actually one who learned exclusively on parallettes and p-bars and never practiced on the floor (due to a tennis induced wrist injurie). 3 years only on parallettes (low and high), 90sec PB, good control, shapes etc... Just last month I tried on the floor and I´m quite inconsistent because I don´t know yet how to use the fingers to balance (felt weird at the beginning but it looks like Im improving fast). One advantage of learning exclusively on parallettes is that I never developed the habit of saving the handstand by walking :)
The problem with parallettes for me is chest to wall practice, specifically entering the handstand. If you're not flexible enough to use a split and/or you can't cartwheel into an handstand you always find yourself too distant from the wall to the point you can't pull yourself into a straight position because the angle is too big. I've tried many ways from cartwheel to walk over parallettes (literaly) or moving my hands over them but nothing works. Do you have suggestions?
The mid chin metal ones with big rubber feet. They are very common in sports stores. The wooden one I use are nice on the hands but can move on smooth floor

Happy to help! Hope you enjoy the video
this is one the best handstand tutorials I've ever watched
And I've seen dozens
Thank you! Great to hear
Best video ever dude, it has made it very clear how to balance
Thank you so much. Best hs tutorial ever
The video I’ve been looking for a long time . ThNk you

Try this video for cleaning up the shoulder position
Best video on an under covered topic. Appreciate the content you put out!
Thank you! Great to hear
Really well made video. I appreciate it and i hope you will be more popular because you deserve it
Amazing coach, thank you mate
Bro..... That helped me a lot Thanks for the video and also 1+ sub

Yes, do a mix of both. Start with 80% wall and then slowly swap to more freestanding based on the success of the catches

is there any solution im afraid of falling from the paralletes is always think its high from the floor
Try this one th-cam.com/video/KE1z_SKTJyo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vBH3FkZ3TRF3iHiC
Is it true that those learned it on floor have much easier time learning on p bars? vs those who had learned it on p bars later learning floor version
I'd say its hard in both directions. Most people that use the P bars would also do a little on the floor as well but not the over way round.
What are the most stable parallettes on the market?
The mid chin metal ones with big rubber feet. They are very common in sports stores. The wooden one I use are nice on the hands but can move on smooth floor
