    Yes. In summary, push up to the floor rather than forward, backwards, or everything at the same time. It requires also some glute and abs strength rather than just shoulders. Also, keep the body straight without forcing too much.

    Paul, fantastic video! HS training is different for different people. What I mean is that there are many parts involved to master the HS. As you train, you will start to understand the various keys to unlocking it. A good coach will help you tremendously. Consistency and patience are very important.
    Your explanation in this video about pushing up instead of sideways is an important key. Other trainers have spoken about protracting the shoulders upward, but sometimes it just takes a different way of saying the same thing for someone to understand; for the light bulb to go off in their head (oh, now I get it!).
    I believe you hit the nail on the head with this video for many people who, just like me are trying to figure out why they keep tipping over to the ground as they practice back to the wall HS while trying to balance off the wall.
    Thank you, Anthony (Former one-on-one student).

    my brother! I've been practicing handstand for a year and a half almost every day, 40 minutes at the wall and an hour without the wall, and I kept wondering why I was doing so poorly if I worked so hard! I love you! It's really a lot of work, frustration, watching guides and you changed it completely for me! But I checked now and kipping into position is still difficult for me, so I think handstand press will be quicker.

    • @PaulTwyman
      @PaulTwyman  Před 2 měsíci

      Yes very common, I'd recommend everyone does something towards press, hspu and balance as they all feed each other.

    @langhel Před 2 dny

    This was exactly the hump i couldnt get over. Overestimating my shoulders and underestimating my core was screwong me. Engage your core! Once I focused on my core I was able to push up more and navigating my wrists and shoulders was a breeze. But at least I got some good shoulder and wrist workouts over the past month trying to correct my balance!

  • @MarkHous
    @MarkHous Před 2 měsíci +1

    Thanks for this info Paul. Reaching tall with the kick up has given me a much more consistent banana. At 61 I’m still working to straighten it out. Thanks again for all the info you share.

    Just discovered this the other day. I found that while I keep over balancing coming off the wall to a hold, when doing strict hspu I could feel myself coming off the wall to a moment of balance before going back to the wall. When practicing balance then I was trying small dips and pushing up and getting closer to the balance point. Now I know why! :)

  • @julezwood7002
    @julezwood7002 Před 2 měsíci

    Perhaps this is why I always under balance when moving away from the wall. Even when I move towards a HSPU position just to force extreme overbalance I can end up still falling back into under balance. Will keep hanging as much as possible to improve posture I guess. Thanks for the vids they are very good for all levels.

    Can you explain more on how to use body and hand to stop yourself falling back down to the start position. It easy to stop yourself from falling forwards, because you can use your fingers to push back and balance yourself more, but the other way you only have the palm/heel of your hand, and I always find my coming back down to the start position

      @PaulTwyman  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Thank you 🙏 Impossible to say as everyone is different but it’s common to straighten a handstand in around 12-24 months. It depends a lot on your target as everyone changes the goal posts as you improve

    @vallabhmanjrekar6771 Před 2 měsíci

    I saw calisthenics videos and frequently heard technical words like protracted retracted supinated neutral, etc. Can you explain it in brief, because it's very difficult to understand for beginners or ordinary people. Did you already make this then send link. I hope you understand what I'm saying

    • @JoakimIshmael
      @JoakimIshmael Před 2 měsíci

      Protracted means the scapula is rounded which will look like you have hump in your upper back from the side view. Retracted means you pull your scapula into extension which will look like you have a slight arch in your upper back from the side view. Supination refers to your wrist position in moves like planche or front lever; when you supinate your wrists your elbows are fully externally rotated and your palms are facing forward from the front view. Neutral is where your palms are facing your sides from the front view

    So weird question. But is it normal for you to see black spots when in a handstand position and for your lower lip to start to go numb and tingly? 🤔😳

    • @PaulTwyman
      @PaulTwyman  Před 2 měsíci

      Try upper body mobility plus slighter wider hand position with hands turned out, also relax through the neck by tucking the chin a little. Test how your body feels in a standing position and look up to the sky, if it doesn't feel good I'd recommend getting assessed by a physio or similar. Hope it helps
