What most athletes find difficult about the press to handstand at first or really all advanced handstand skills is that many things need to happen at the same time. You have to be strong, flexible and you must time your movements right.
Whilst this might seem like a curse personally I think it's a true blessing. Training for the Press to Handstand will help you drastically improve your hamstring & lower back mobility, hip flexor strength, core strength, lower back strength and coordination, shoulder strength and of course handstand ability.
Press to Handstand training has so many faces that your entire weekly routine can be build around it if desired. To get excellent at the Press you have to train flexibility regularly. Make sure to always do your technical work before your strength training.

Could u also do a pike press video or do these same drills apply to pike press?

[@HoracioRedigonda-el2il]

Necesitas años de entrenamiento para sacar este ejercicio, no es para nada fácil hacerlo

[@user-en3sf9ji2y]

I tried ur stalder workout from the description and although I can constantly do a stalder press I couldn't do ur wall drills 😂😂😅 u use much wall drills and I find I hard to activate and engage when doing chest to wall drills. But I'll be doing them coz I think they would be beneficial nonetheless

[@CoachBachmann]

They’ll be oh so beneficial for you. The wall forces you to use and engage all the right muscles. Without the wall you can sometimes cheat your way around certain parts of the press or handstand in general

[@user-en3sf9ji2y]

I can make a concentric pike press constantly but struggle with an eccentric

[@CoachBachmann]

Working on the eccentric will really help you build strength and control. Stick to training it. Even if it's hard. It will be rewarding!

[@krestenp707]

wow

[@CoachBachmann]

(:

[@user-en3sf9ji2y]

It's interesting that u always start the straddle press with ur feet close together instead of straddle. What is the reason+

[@CoachBachmann]

If your feet are a bit closer your hips are higher and you have to press less far. Also if your legs are too open you can not compress and are forced to planche up

[@martinhinkelmann9487]

❤❤❤❤

[@supriabudiman2425]

how is the finger and palm concentration? do u lean forward and let the finger hold or do you press on the palm so the legs are pushed up? do you use the upper body same as the planche? also the elbow pit rotation?

[@CoachBachmann]

Hey, you have to be fingertip heavy and lean into the fingers. Only if you are leaning towards the front you can actually use your shoulders to apply pressure. You would never push with your palm. Think less of the legs coming up and more of your hips being lifted up by your back muscles. if you are VERY inflexible than you will use your upper body like in a planche. ideally you will lean significantly less in the press. This skill is physically significantly less demanding on a strength level. A press is more like a VERY rounded tuck planche press to handstand. Lock out your elbows and rotate the pit towards the front. Check out my How to Press to Handstand video for more detailed answers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqbapH97bZeGg7c

[@supriabudiman2425]

@@CoachBachmann wahhh very detailed explanation previously ive been very active in breakin' especially doing powermoves, I was very good with upper body strength and legs flexibility but Ive been off for about 6 years and now Iam trying to recover it all but missing the micro muscle and details on finger/ scapula/ pelvic/ and other 'secrets' that I just forgot hehehe your explanation helped me a lot thanks!!

[@CoachBachmann]

@@supriabudiman2425 always happy to help :)

[@dirtworshiper2800]

Still busting my ass everyday one day I’ll be strong as you. Well maybe. Haha. Thanks for all you post.

[@CoachBachmann]

As long as you don’t stop you will absolutely get as strong, skilled and as flexible as you want to be! Keep it up

[@marcelchalobah7946]

Much respect to you i got injured lost my handstand balance and HSPU

[@CoachBachmann]

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that! Time to heal up and get back up onto the horse! Allow your body the time it needs to recover and get right back at it!

[@adonisvillain]

is this athlete 100% natural? i kinda interested in bodyweight skills and learned free handstand 15sec and 2 pushups only interested in upper body, esp. biceps? is it possible with bodyweight?

[@oman9492]

It's possible. I have a body better than that and I'm 37 and natural. Calisthenics is easier with less weight and muscle mass. So steroids wouldn't help that much. More skill and techniques

[@olo8482]

Nope

[@YouTubeAddict384]

What do i do if my forarm really hurts when doing tuck planche

[@CoachBachmann]

Externally rotate your hands on the floor and use parallettes to ease the pressure on your wrists but more importantly chose easier progressions like leans etc with protracted shoulders and fully locked elbows to build forearm and elbow joint and tendon strength
