Cheers for the update, Tom. I always appreciate your down to earth perspective on movement culture!

[@ashleyreal9265]

Super happy your back vlogging !

[@finboyYYC]

glad to see the vlog back!

[@SaulAdrianVL]

It's aswome to see lots of people that are in the same situation .Man you always put me back on track .And you right about the ego in training .I get to frustrated with oah training because I haven't gotten a good base yet .My basics aren't good .Man thanks !

[@GM-ko1ed]

Best fitness channel on KZbin! Informative, no BS and engaging. Lotsa love

[@srmangiapoco]

Another great video. This is my favorite calisthenics channel by far.

[@unguisan001]

I’m on the handstand journey as well. Many shoulder corrections needed before so basic training key. Thanks for sharing

[@cortisolblue2208]

This is truth man, been doing handstands for a year, wasn't until last 2 months I buckled up and got serious and considerate, saw more progress in 2 months than I did in 8 months. Anyone looking to perfect this stuff, It truly does take dedication.

[@stefangodfrey1301]

Great video! Missed these vlogs!!

[@plabebob]

Thanks for another ace video. I'm still working on my handstand but it's good to have some inspiration!

[@viktornerlander1409]

Good to see you back, man!

[@ethantrainingyt]

Super inspirational Tom!

[@chinmayak09]

Wow. The peeps at bulk powders are amazing! So nice to see another give away

[@stejackson123]

Wish I could achieve some of your 'basics'! Keep up the good work.

[@isaacaasi1]

Awesome video! Always an inspiration

[@KIGH1389]

Free stuff! Still trying to work on any form of handstand at the moment. It's taken a back seat for the last few weeks as I've been focusing on my mobility and following some of your routines. Seeing some good progress, but got a long way to go!

[@dontwheynoeko]

Nice video Tom. Working on the same problems with my OAHS atm. Thank you very much.

[@anne-charlottetop5427]

Yesss I love your videoss! I really like your content and all the nice speech your say in all your videos! I am now using bulk Powder because of you!

[@darrenplatt3924]

Missed the vlogs!

[@jbklein1]

So happy to follow your OAHS journey

[@isda5659]

Great v-log! I'm just beginning to get into mobility and calisthenics type stuff but have been doing bodyweight training for over 2 years now. Your videos are incredibly useful (:

[@craigtelford3006]

Very impressive skill and quality of content. Keep the knowledge coming! (please...)

[@mikkelschleicher8166]

I'm also slowly grinding my way towards a OAHS and it's cool to see and hear that you are struggling as well ;) I guess we both just need to push harder.

[@duncan5800]

Cheers for the insight Tom! Can you please make a video on PAILS and RAILS?

[@craigd6328]

Great video Tom. I'm still struggling with a 2 hand handstand but some good tips in your video. Im clearly not putting enough time in!

[@rogeriocardoso1773]

Great video as usual!

[@norohruska]

Great progress Tom 👌

[@demetris6214]

Tuck Handstands feel amazing in the shoulders!

[@xourafino8335]

Awesome vid!

[@dustinsnailman8480]

Nice Tom, keep at it. Everything is built on basics!

[@jamescse3214]

nice progress

[@lekotokio]

That's called real dedication, never give up!

[@christinamckechnie596]

You have inspired us to improve our BW fitness. Thanks Tom :)

[@DylanJLey]

good job pushing through the pain my man!

[@pascha-j]

Really good takeaways man, thanks for the video!

[@likesgymnastics5767]

Road to OAHS - I like this a lot

[@MrEintein]

Hey Tom, glad You are back with the Vlogs, keep up the grind! Just recently ordered from BulkPowders because of their birthday promo, but who does'nt love some extra free stuff! 😁

[@ElZwanto]

Great video. This made me realize that I have to work more to be able to do a regular handstand. Well, if Tom can do it, so can I.

[@27jakrabbit]

Good video, though don't know when I will ever get enough time to train to that level. Thanks for keeping it real!

[@jeanlucgatoh]

nice you mentioned the actual time commitement

[@fraznn23]

Tucks is something I really struggle with too. Could you do a little video on some stretching and form breakdown?

[@MarkHaylock1]

Great vid Tom. Thanks for sharing your one-armed handstand journey. Back on that gain train :)

[@maciejh2660]

Good luck with OAHS!

[@MrJ13R]

The video for your golfers elbow, did you add to it / alter it to recover? I have golfers elbow and am covering what you recommended. Congrats on your progress.

[@dudeskinus]

Always enjoy your videos dude.

[@ashleygillespie9883]

Hey Tom , i feel your pain ,I’m exactly where you are with regards to shoulder flexibility , it seems like I’ve hit a massive plateau. I’m still ploughing through with flexibility drills but it’s hard going man , we’ll get there in the end though so keep it up 💪🏽👊🏽

[@Despacito420]

did you get there in the end?

[@tc-3]

Enjoyed the video! What I wanted to ask you if if you could do a video regarding SCAPULAR WINGING. I find so many opposing advice online and it's driving me crazy.

[@higha77]

Tom's back!

[@crossborderz]

i think i saw @handstanddiary at 3:06

[@fabiopercio5012]

Wise words 👏👏👏

[@Mert-E-E]

Great video, thanks mate! Giveaway is pretty cool too

[@supersammy00]

I love free stuff

[@akazaki13]

Ive gotten lazy with my training, this motivates me to get back on track!

[@aaronmaxim]

Im still trying to touch my toes and pancake my hamstrings!!!.... showoff!!!! J/K I've gotten so much from your videos recovering from surgery, thank you. Keep up the content I and everyone else appreciates it.

[@swagpanda9359]

Nice video Tom :)

[@mahmoudlaban4636]

I love free stf3

[@XPietro95X]

Hey Tom, was wondering, what are you planning right now with your body while learning calisthenics? I mean, bulking or cutting o just eating to maintain? Because the lighter the easier isn’t it?

[@Athatag]

Good job with your handbalace journey! Thank you for the giveaway :)

[@arturwieczerzak]

Very nice giveaway! I was just gonna buy some stuff from them, just to change a little bit my usual supplements and try new ones :D

[@Kimahrey]

Did you eat that ice cream afterwards?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Tales of Horror maybe

[@ioannismarinakis7988]

Nice vlog mate. Thanks for the insight and the giveaway as well. Cheers! ;)

[@arthurdent9160]

I sure would love free stuff! ;)

[@MicaelPereira]

I got the handstand with little investment. On the other hand I have invested loads on hip mobility, and it's taking so much time. Different people, different struggles. But if we work hard, with a good process, it's a matter of time!

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Micael Pereira same. One arm handstand is considerably more investment though

[@victorvictor9662]

The only drill that gave you the feeling of balancing on 1 as a beginner is to walk up and down on blocks. My advice would be to focus on that over and over. I can now balance a straddle one arm for a few seconds after YEARS of struggle.

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Victor Mouclier I’m doing some basic block work but I’d say I need pike handstand more

[@borisumanov9308]

Great post! What are your thoughts about pelvic position in the tuck and the pike? Seems like going into a tilt and bringing the hips back will make keeping the shoulders open easier. Or should you try to keep a pelvic tuck with the pelvis in completely alignment over the shoulders ?

[@lucadellasciucca967]

i m pritty sure hips and back should stay in the same allinment as when you are in the regular handstand

[@borisumanov9308]

@@lucadellasciucca967 I've seen both versions done, and for different purposes. Trying to figure out what those reasons are. Should be able to do both

[@lucadellasciucca967]

@@borisumanov9308 gotcha!

[@kobr4h]

Handstand Volume motivation boost. Thank you Tom :) Question tho, I have very poor overhead mobility, and handstands are pretty exhausting for me. Can i still freak up the volume?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

kobr4h I spend more effort on getting the flexibility but this can be done through handstand training that is going to demand it (ie tuck work etc)

[@tobi4400]

I'm working on getting a solid handstand of the wall

[@awesomeguy3211]

best way to deal with a rotater cuff injury from handstand, my subscapularis is ridiculously sore

[@leolyo7]

The thing that's usually badly explained is the transition from the wall handstand into the freestanding handstand, that's what has been bugging me for the past half a year when it comes to my handstand progression!

[@leolyo7]

@Alec Stern Wow mate, wasn't expecting a reply at all, let alone one as comprehensive as yours 😶 Anywho, as far as my capabilities go, I've no problem doing 5x60s with 90s breaks in between sets when it comes to wall handstands. As far as the back bridges go, I'm able to easily do one arm rotations into low/high bridge, an exercise that can be seen in Ido Portal's workouts. My conclusion is that I could potentially be struggling with balancing and, as much as I hAte to admit it, I guess fear From freestanding might also exist somewhere in me.

[@leolyo7]

Alec Stern I believe I am using it but seeing as I'm not completely sure I might not have been aware that it actually has a name. Exiting for me is easy, although I find the cartwheel to be a hassle therefore I exit by spinning on one arm and jumping (never failed me in the past year). I'll try those drills that you've mentioned. As far as my other skills go, the ones you've mentioned are pretty weak: I can't do either one of those exercises, although the variations that I can do are pseudo planche pushups, tuch front lever, hspu negatives and as far as one arm pull ups go, I'm doing one arm assisted pull ups. I'd say my strength is a bit lacking., although I'm pretty good iun other techniques (I can hold a 15s L-sit easily, for instance).

[@ClaarTube]

Can you explain why you mix the vegan and other types of protein? Is there a benefit to mixing?

[@lucadellasciucca967]

no, it s just a a matter of total protein per day/per week. He s choosing vegan proteins because they are way healthyer

[@ClaarTube]

Any basis for saying it’s healthier or just your opinion?

[@rafis213]

Handstands used to feel very easy when I was 6 years old, now it scares me to fall over! hahah

[@likesgymnastics5767]

Tom Can you give a specific example of deficiency you had that was corrected by you doing the basics? Cause I don't do them unless maybe if I include them sometimes in a warm up.

[@BodyweightWarrior]

soya just the tuck handstand, wasn’t good enough for a base for one arm. Or front lever, didn’t spend enough time with pull ups / weighted pulls getting strong ass lats to help development

[@st1508]

Gimme the Free stuff

[@Jeroeniboy]

Good luck :)

[@pablojuncal9714]

What is your weight usually, Tom?

[@adiudis]

Hello, Tom. I have the same problem right now, just im not advanced as you, right now I can hold a handstand for 30sec max I think. But whenever im starting training my freestanding handstand after rehabing my shoulder for few weeks i feel pain in my left shoulder and bicep. Should i spend more time of practise standing with wall to condition my shoulders?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Augustas Našlėnas you want to fix the route cause of the issue. Likely bicep tendon is trying to do the job of the rotator cuff. Take your time to condition and get back to it :)

[@adiudis]

@@BodyweightWarrior thank you so much! :)

[@blind_abstract1787]

I have pain in my shoulder every time i try to stretch overhead, do you know any low impact stretch or any exercise i should do to minimize the pain?

[@OberonLacroix]

How tall are you? being tall with long thin levers makes calisthenics harder :(

what does that even mean?
