  • I've wanted to be able to handstand for a long time, but only in January of this year did I decide to commit to practicing handstands (almost) every day. I am quite satisfied with my progress of going from not being able to hold a handstand at all to being able to hold a 20 second handstand reasonably consistently. My form isn't perfect but I can work on that in the future.
    Hope you enjoy(ed) the video. If you did for some reason find it to be worth your time to watch me fall on my neck for 11 minutes, be sure to subscribe to the channel and we'll be uploading more videos like this.

      Use a wall but practice both walking up and kicking up against it...
      With your back against the wall you build up the endurance and kicking needed while doing it chest to wall you learn proper allignment...
      Once you can comfortably do 1 minute each its time to move on to freestanding...
      Doing like a scissor split variation facing away from the wall you will build the balance needed

      Hahaha, relax, I have been more than a constant year and my progress was very slow, I suspect that he practiced much more than a month

    It's my 3rd weeks... It's frustrating...
    I often can handstand for 2-3secs...

      Hmmm
      Strenghten your wrists. :)
      It'll really help you reach it
      You'll be able to balance handstands in no time with stronger wrists!
      Kinda like your body will "tell" you how to do it.
      Think of it like a simple stamding on your legs except there's 4 different rules.
      1)You will eventually start moving back and forward
      2)FOCUS on where your body is moving.
      3)If your starting to fall forward,add pressure with your fingers to balance the other way around
      4)If your falling backwards..well that is the hardest part of the handstand. You can try walking a little with your hands
      I'd suggest learning how to do a straddle planche for 5-6 seconds(requires a lot more strenght tho,both in delts and in abs) As you would have to lean forward to not fall
      So when I'm falling backwards I open my legs and lean a little forward so I can stop falling.
      But there's a better way my friend can do that I haven't learned yet. I am a dude that likes to just overcome things with brute strenght so that's why I'm using the strenght way
      If you make a stick fall forward then if you push a little with a finger it'll come back on it's neutral position,but then if the stick falls back again forward you just put it again in it's neutral position with your finger!
      Same goes for a human body. Prevent it falling backwards by just leaning your mass forward,and if it leans too much correct that with your fingers.
      That's how you do it. You do need strong fingers,strong wrists,strong shoulders,strong abs. You just need strong everything,lol!
      But if you learn how to handstand for 20 seconds at least then that's a big great goal there!

    So 30 seconds is the perfect goal

      of course you should get there in the future but you can say you know how to handstand even if you do it for less than 30 secs
