The goal of this video was simply to make the best free handstand guide there is on the internet, what do you think? Did I miss much? Make sure you check out the full blog post too if you prefer to skim through it. Happy handstanding!
A nice summary of your past content, and as you said at the end, perfect time since we're stuck inside. I've been practicing handstands for a couple weeks now, this video is timely.
I also bought rings on Amazon when my gym closed down, there's a convenient tree outside my apartment to hook them onto. If you're looking for video ideas, a beginner rings summary video would be cool too. I'm basically doing dip negatives and chin-ups so far (I was up to 8 dips at the gym, going back to dip negatives on the rings feels bad). Also false grip is unbelievably hard, I can't hold it at all.
I am actually training handstands during quarentine so this video came on a perfect timing! I love the 5 steps! I am currently in between the 3 and 4 and seeing them presented that way really helped me understand where I stand and what I need to work on :) i am also training to do my splits through your videos! I love this channel tks so much for the great content
Tom Merrick hey tom! Thank you for the content! I have been meaning to start a handstand journey for a long time! However, my left wrist has pain whenever I try! Do you think I should just train the flexibility or strengthen it?
The level of detail here is amazing! You answered a bunch of questions I didn't even realise I had. Especially around the application of it all. I had no idea what training would be best to focus on as a noob, nor for how long or how regularly I should do it. Invaluable content, thank you!
I'm working on hs for a couple of weeks now and watched a lot of videos for this and also did some classes. This video is really good and sums up everything i figured out the past few weeks...kind of sad that i found it just now ;)
Good job!
The transition at 5:33 from arm bend to straight arm. Really difficult, its a big step. Straight arm is whole new level.
Yay! A new video - thanks to quarantine I have been applying your videos and others like it trying to understand how to workout without hurting myself. Your videos are great! Thank you so much for sharing your synthesized knowledge and making informative and comprehensive videos for anyone willing to learn. It's a much needed education. Plus you're so much fun to watch. Healthful quarantine!
I literally started learning handstand today...tom coming in clutch
I want that „chill less.handstand more“ poster 🙌🏼
Amazing content as always, thanks for the summary and the links for all your handstand videos. just came perfect in time for my 2020 goals :)
Thanks for these amazing content, keep em coming 💪
Been following your routines for the quarantine. And this is great! Thanks.
Big up Tom. It's as good a time as any to start learning to handstand now!
Thank you so much for your explicit and Amazing sharing and guidance. You're truly a mighty warrior!! Greater heights and success ahead along the Journey.. Keep rocking!!
Damn, I struggle with step #2😔
Thank you so much Tom for putting all of this together🙏🏼💛.
I will revisit the videos you posted, and keep at it.
Thank you once again! Stay safe.
Istg I was just looking for a handstand tutorial, and this just popped up
Same ! Thanks man !
Me too
same!
Awesome vids, man, I'm trying to get to my first handstand myself and I'd probably be doing your follow along beginner video! Crossing my fingers to be able to do it soon :D stay awesome
Perfect timing! Just started learning frog/crow stands.
This is brilliant, I have started calisthenics and this ties in really nicely. Thanks for the info, I will begin today.😎
Thank you so much for this video. This was what I needed!!! You're amazing btw! Please keep up your work!
Great video, already practicing my handstand during my quarantine, thank you
Excellent summary ! Thanks !
Simply the best guide there is online. Dont go look other places, youv reach your destination.
Thanks for your video; it’s the most comprehensive to doing the handstand I’ve watched so far 👍🏼
Really helpful. Never wanted to do a handstand but since I have lots of time I guess I will start at beginner
You are doing a wonderful job, thanks a lot 🙏
Great stuff. Very informative👍
Omg I wanted to learn handstand while in quarantine thank you so much.
Any progress? 3 months in and even with my wife spotting me like 20 minutes a day, still can't figure it out. This shit is super hard to learn, but I was never an athletic person (more of a lanky gamer).
@@pdblouin It takes time and frequent training and keeps your body in good shape. Good luck.
How it is going?
@@pdblouin can you handstand now
@@pdblouin we're here for the update. Did you do it?
Liked and subbed. Thank you so much for this content!
I wanted to start with Handstand next week, perfect timing :)
Great vid bro keep it up loved it really helpful
yes, I need them wrist strengthening workout
Love the content man, I enjoy all the videos! I've been looking for a good lotus routine, but I can't seem to find anything as good as the other videos you have with regards to the splits. Would you mind doing a lotus tutorial?
You rock , as always💪
I think Tom Merick has a video for everything! Loved the video man going to be learning a handstand on my learning series on my channel! Learning non stop whilst in quarantine!
17:00 this part motivates me to keep trying. Knowing that it will take a long time and that I just have to stick through the dip. I'm already approximately two months in.
Great vid, taught me a lot.
Thank you, I will try this.
Great work on handstand
Very helpful to me, thank you
Loving your work. Could you do a video on handstand walks please
I have a sneaky suspicion it will involve less Pringle’s and pecan swirls 😂😂
No
Wow! Really needed this video, thanks 🙏
I've been progressing with handstand training for about 5 weeks now, I would say I'm at the entry level where I need to focus on that, kicking up into balance. I've been watching these videos for some time and these definitely help tons. 👍
It's been a year now!
Did it work? Can u handstand now?
If yes Congratulations! It's my turn now xD
@@eliotdelcray8642 I got it to about 10 seconds free standing
Looking forward for a planche tutorial for the quarantine
Thank you
Thank you Tom 🤙🙏👏
ps. do you plan to do in the future any workshops in London??
Thanks mate
Great bro 👌👌🙌🙌
Thanks soooo much, I’m about to begin this gurney. I started last year, well one privet lesson and lots of practice, i got a shoulder injury and stopped. I think between jujitsu and weight lifting my shoulders are tight. The reason for is so I get more mobility in my shoulders as not to get pined so easily in jujitsu class. Anyway, thanks a bunch - I’ve been wanting to do hand stands for as long as I can remember.
6:12 hehehehh, I've fallen over in the elevated pike pusup😂😂😂
Perfect 👍
All thanks to you. I finally achieved my first target of the year - A 10s HANDSTAND. Thanks mate. Keep up the good work and keep inspiring.
Did you manage it?
I started drilling 2.5 years ago 5-6 days a week 45-90 mins after 60-75 mins yoga, I took lessons, made major adjustments practically lost all my progress but somehow kept at it. I restarted my Aerial hoop training August 2020 when NYC studio reopened and It was the cross training and development of pull strength that recently helped me find the body awareness for consistent entry control and sustained 5-15 sec balance. It easier to train and run the Marathon and still a WIP...
Hey Tom,
I’ve just started doing the daily Emmet Louis pancake routine you featured on your channel a while back. I want to also do your middle split routine, what’s your advice on training both at the same time?
Were you writing: “You suck, get goo-“ at the end? 😂🤣😂. You are amazing! Don’t talk about yourself like that. Your videos are helping me through the handstand process- and you’ve done all this FOR FREE! Seriously, can’t thank you enough! Keep up the good work. (You are good. You’re handstands are #handstandgoals)
Good morning Tom. How are you & better half doing. Lol
Thank you bro we need this. 👍🏾😊🤙🏾🔥
Best!
My main issue is confidence, like you said it. I once just tried handstand for fun and managed to hold for 3-5secs. But Im still scared of falling off...
I have the pleasure of watching the guide of handstand, especially when I achieve handstand for over a minute🙂
@Dan Don as You wisch

Hard work
thanks for such a thorough explanation! really helpful and encouraging!
im 26 and ive been wanting to do a handstand atleast for two years now. Looking at this video i think its going to take a long while before I even develop some confidence to attempt this lol
Hi,,
I am from Indonesia
Thanks for giving me the hand stand
Science👍
I like it.
Nice Saturnomovement joggers!
That stache!
hello tom , thank you for your videos ,
is it a good idea to focus on HS and Planche in the same session followed by strength training ? or would that be too much at one time ? thank you in advance
Please make a video on handstand push-ups
Hey tom, could you do a pistol squat tutorial?
think it would be a great leg workout for those in lockdown rn, I have so much trouble keeping my leg straight haha
great vid as always 👌
Check out the squat university, they have a great video on this
It turned out for me that the way to get over the fear of falling on my face was to fall on my face.
buster only full screen mode captions on boss rush can’t argue with that logic
Wow I am early to one of Tom's videos 🤩
i remember my first and last hand stand session
was doing chest to wall, went a bit too close to the wall,
fell backwards and slammed my back straight into the ground...
since then i have avoided anything upside down
but maybe this week ill give it another go
Maybe you need to find someone to spot you.
Hi Tom,
Love you work, always insightful and intelligent.
I’m a martial arts instructor based in the Sydney Aus and have always struggled to maintain my flexibility despite over 30 years of practise.
I put a lot of this down to the majority of the martial arts industry having little or no understanding of anatomy and just doing what they were taught.
I’m good friends with the guys at Manly Warringah Gymnastics like Lachlan Walker who have helped me implement stretching methods like PNF and other mobility exercises which have greatly benefited both me and my students, however I am finding sustained gains hard to maintain whilst constantly having to teach and demonstrate.
I teach an average of 3 times a day 5 days a week and am required to demonstrate and conduct a stretch in each session, and was wondering if this demand could be responsible for my fatigue and lack of progression, and if so is there a stretching method which you feel will enable me to continue working, maintain or increase performance.
Deepest regards and stay safe.
Jason
Where did you receive your training from?? It seems very similar to what Ive been taught by a few trainers! I think I am going to work on my own road to a OAHS and film the journey 😊
Literally just posted a video on my first handstand attempt and this came up - this is perfect!!
I started today too!
Im trying to get to a 10 second handstand, ill make a video when i complete it! Wish me luck im at 4 seconds now!
Any tips for head position?
alright now lets begin
Hey Tom! Do you think the best possible and straight forward to get a handstand would be through your app? If money/time/whatever is no issue
Hi Tom can you rate my stretching routine i been doing just started. Takes about 20 minutes, once in morning and once in evening.
Warm-up
Calf raises - 1 minute
Deep knee squats - 1minute
Lateral lunges - 1 minute
Front lunges - 1 minute
Hip rotate hands on waist - 1 minute
Stretches
stand up toe reach (emphasis on pelvic tilt), 3 sets 30 seconds
Seated spinal twist, set each side 30 seconds
Front lunge hip stretch, set each side 30 seconds
Front lunge quad stretch, set each side 30 seconds
Lunging hamstring stretch, set each side 30 seconds
Pidgeon stretch / 90 90 stretch, set each side 30 seconds
butterfly stretch 3 sets 30 seconds each
knee splits / sumo stretch, 1 set 30 seconds
lay on back reclined knee to chest. set each side 30 seconds
lateral lunge static, set each side 30 seconds
Side split attempt on wall stretch to extremity. 30 seconds
Abs stretch to shoulder stretch, 30 seconds each.
These stretches are all purely static with maybe the odd bounce involved if i feel comfortable.
What are your thoughts please.
Is the blog link working for others?
I am so afraid of toppling over . So I used one leg to rest on a platform and then raise the other leg as high as possible without toppling over.
7:38 Bring back the mustache
I'd like to see him with a beard
My left arm doesn't straighten fully because I broke my elbow years ago. My handstand is coming along but is there anything I can do to help my balance to compensate for my arm? Thanks!
is this all simultaniously to do exercises and proggresions??
For whatever reason my neck hurts when in the handstand, any solutions for that?
🙏
What are the different merits of back to wall or chest to wall?
I can do both, but can’t freestand either way for very long
Feel like I should focus on one or the other to improve my freestanding time but don’t know which one to choose 🤔
My ultimate goal to be able to do a press stand 😅
Is this Miami?
Tom, do you have any thoughts on using forearm supports during handstand practice? Basically instead of using your entire body against a wall you instead place only your forearms against a sofa or stack of mats and then attempt to balance your handstand?
I would say it’s a drill that makes you feel good about progress but not necessarily the best to make it. You need to spend time understanding how to balance with the hands. Similar to people doing the puppy press vs actual press drills
dk if anyone can answer but i always have problem regaining balance when i start to fall back by my palms is there any tips or drills i could use???
Don't you already have a video on this?
I have a slightly curved spine (kyphosis) and therefore struggle with flexibility of where I can get my arms above my head. Will I still be able to do this?
I like the moustache
Awesome video! Although, that mustache from the hollow body, man... good is gone! Haha
Very helpful video! Whenever I do a pike hand-stand, I feel tightness in my hamstrings. Do I just need to work on mobility, or am I doing it wrong?
If u stand on ur toes u shoudn't feel it anymore
I weigh 100kg. I can do a wall plank for about a minute without any pain but it starting to get pretty intense after it. Do you think I'm too heavy for a handstand or is it just a matter of time?
I can hold handstand 10-30 sec but much depends on luck. How can I Improve it?
You look like the son of walter white also nice video tought me alot
i was watching this then an ad poped up about how handstand tutorials suck!:)))
yeah i am trying but i can't right now because i just smashed my leg on my bed frame so yeah that is why i have a fear over going over in a handstand . . . . . .
Rocking the saturno movement joggers, i like it.
I am gonna fucking get this, it's driving me mad
