3 Reasons You Can't Balance a Handstand Yet

[@herahad99]

Thanks El Eggs, I needed to hear this. Back to wall handstands

[@HelloJosieLiz]

Wonderful tips. Thanks so much!

[@jangodla8448]

:-D

[@abstuart2039]

Just started practicing handstands. "You won't learn a handstand in two weeks" is all I needed to hear. I couldn't understand what hardheaded me was doing wrong, turns out it's my impatience. Thank you for the tips and inspiration!

[@elsantosff.1479]

It took me two years to actually be in a position now probably would take more two-year for me to be able to balance it

[@Ziaxx]

It took me 2 months to learn, in the beginning i thought i was never gonna get it but one day it just clicked lol

[@dj3psilon566]

How long could you hs after the 2 months? after 1 month my record is about 12 seconds

[@mickp5558]

Dj3psilon bruh i can do a headspin ( search it up ) for 30 seconds

What did you do to learn it

[@nlbeast1929]

After 6 month I still missing it! Can hold it like 2-5 seconds ... I really freaking out but i never give up!

[@Tom-wk6pv]

how do you combat exploding head syndrome? I feel like my face is gunna burst and it's painful

[@nathandrake3737]

me too and my thumb also hurt

[@julietmikealpha]

Consistency again, gotta get used to being upside-down. Crow stand will help, head-stands too... then follow the natural HS progression.

[@RGV2300]

The practice will give you a lot of resistance, just that.

[@JonnyMarshall5]

I get the same thing. Normally accompanied by a lot of burst capillaries around my eyes. There's a few things that have helped me with this: 1) Don't do handstands on a full stomach. Or after drinking alcohol (this is a big one for me, I get head explosion pretty bad after a night of drinking. I have to leave about 24 hours) 2) Focus on your breathing. This can be difficult because you're trying to concentrate on your balance, but really try to make sure you're breathing steadily and not holding your breath. (I try to breathe very loudly so I'm aware of the rhythm and regularity of my breath) 3) Don't immediately go into handstands, and don't immediately go for maximum hold time. Try to start by getting yourself into position and leaning your body forward without kicking up, getting your body adjusted to the pressure of being semi-upside down. Then do a few small holds (maybe 5-15 seconds) before going for anything longer. Hope this helps!

[@JNith]

If you're in good condition i think you can learn a handstand within a week starting off with frog stands, but probably not a perfect gymnastic handstand like in the video. i got learned to balance a handstand within 4 days of actually trying in the mean time while i am working on conditioning and flexibility to achieve a straight back handstand one day. Good luck!

Wow, das erste realistisch und gut erklärte Video. Es hat mich irgendwie motiviert zu hören, dass es einfach seine Zeit braucht bis man es packt. Es ist einfach eine Lüge in 10 min einen Handstand zu können, was aber leider in vielen Videotiteln so steht. Vielen Dank für das Video ich denke in ein paar Wochen werde ich endlich auch so weit sein.

Thanks for the tips Alex. I have been trying handstand for the last 10 years and still not able to balance:)

[@Famulus]

Ich liebe eure Videos wegen genau solchen Contents! :) Ich übe neben meinem Krafttraining den freien Handstand schon seit Monaten. Das Halten ist kein Problem, aber ich kippe immer wieder nach hinten - und ehrlich gesagt fühle ich mich in der Situation etwas hilflos. :/ Ich bräuchte mehr Raum, da ich zuhause trainiere und nicht einfach abrollen kann.

[@Gleichtritt]

wie wärs mit ner wiese?

[@Famulus]

Gleichtritt Das habe ich natürlich auch schon versucht. Hier sehe ich das Problem, dass man keine Wand o. Ä. (z. B. einen Baum) hat, an dem man sich anlehnen/stützen könne. Ein Partner vor Ort wäre besser! :D

[@Gleichtritt]

Famulus Dann halt einen Wald :D, eine Hauswand. Es wird sich schon irgendwo was finden^^. Was ich teilweise viel schwieriger zu finden finde, ist eine gute Klimmzugstange. Im Moment muss ich ein Ölrohr im Keller benutzen, aber dieses ist eigentlich zu dick. Man kann sich zwar diese Türstangen kaufen, muscle ups oder andere spezielle Dinge, funktionieren dort aber nicht. Es gibt hier weit und breit keine Möglichkeit. Wird wohl darauf hinauslaufen, dass ich sowas im Garten bauen werde :D

[@Famulus]

Gleichtritt Haha, das gleiche Problem habe ich auch. Ich benutze derzeit den Türrahmen im Keller, welchen man nur im Ristgriff benutzen kann. Die Stangen unseres Baugerüsts sind zu dick und bereiten schon nach kürzester Zeit Unterarmschmerzen. :D

[@imagzz4942]

I've got another really important tip. This is actually something he doesn't do. Don't look at the ground with you face. Your head and ears should be almost parallel with your arms. At first, this might be harder, but if you then combine this with tightening up your body like he says in the third tip, then it will get easier over time. You can still look at the ground, just look with your eyes instead of your whole face. It also makes it more comfortable for your head, so it doesn't feel like it might explode if you hold it for long.

[@radovanfeco6762]

Hey guys! Alex could you show us some useful excercises or progressions to get so flexible as you are? I am talking about deep squats and perfect toes to bar. You know its hard to do toes to bar without bend knees if you are not flexible. Yes, I tried to stretch before sleep every day but the problem are leg workouts. I do usual weighted squats for less than 6 reps for strength and pistols for hypertrophy, but usually after leg day my legs are sored for 3-5 days and Its impossible to stretch like this, but also even stretched muscels get short again. How to deal with this? Rado :)

[@eleggs]

well that's incredibly hard to do. I had the advantage that I started stretching training with 8 years. and that makes a huge difference. so now you can just do it again and again and be patient. check our stretching video for getting info of what and how you can do it.

Another reason to stay on the wall until you're definitely ready for freestanding: When losing balance, I was walking a bit. Which would be ok, but I was always walking forward with my left arm, and eventually falling to my left side. I wish I had avoided the resulting muscle imbalance by using the wall until hand walking was unnecessary.

[@EOCmodernRS]

I learned even though I did mistake #2 for my training method? I can stand pretty much still for as long as my muscles can bear it.
