BUILD Crow Strength for Press Handstand and HSPU

[@ericgerritse8593]

One the very few channels with high quality content left. All the big calisthenics channels with millions of follwers have become rich and are now complacent and are not creating any new real valuable content. Thanks Paul. You are outstanding

[@PaulTwyman]

Thank you, that’s awesome to hear. I really enjoy making the videos

Awesome let me know how you go

[@nickretrae2487]

I practice both yoga and calisthenics, currently working towards planche. Love that there is so much overlap between the two. Thanks for this, helps a lot with mapping out progression.

[@PaulTwyman]

Yes! The more and more I work with yoga practitioners the more I see the crossover

[@petaluma0]

Thanks Paul

[@PaulTwyman]

Thank you !!

[@andrzej552]

So useful. Many thanks.

[@PaulTwyman]

Glad it was helpful!

[@olliethomasbrown]

This is great, I never considered the crow being that useful for other skill development. Humbling first few attempts, so it’s in my training now! Thank you Paul.

Master P, getting a recurring light strain/sprain of wrist-forearm here. Can you demo any progression/s for wrist-forearm flexibility-strength, please?

[@Asadc1995]

Sounds like you get inflexible wrists?

[@PaulTwyman]

General flexibility and mobility drills for the whole body can really help, the forearms are probably taking the stress from the thoracic, hips , shoulders etc while in this position. Passive hangs can be one of the best options. Also try these kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKfWmoGJrtR5rM0

[@MathiasBanas]

Thought crow pose should put knees on triceps, but I see you put them rather on elbows.

[@MathiasBanas]

Probably on triceps much easier.

[@OlmoLungring]

Thanks again Paul. I have some doubts. I can easily stay 30 seconds or more at crow and crane (straight arms) and tuck planche for around 18 seconds. But I can feel what you mention by gaps. For example, I still can't do one leg crow and I don't have enough strength to release the knees from the elbow and go up in the direction of a handstand. Don't you have any intermediate drills for that part of the ascension? Your videos are great but sometimes you go too fast and forget about weaklings 🙂. Another doubt is about the crane or advanced frog (with elbows straight), the way I learned was through the gymnastic bodies method and it seems to be different from the way yogis do since they fit the knees into the armpits. I don't know why but I can't do that. It doesn't seem to me to be a lack of compression. If I squat and tuck the knees into the armpits, they simply don't stay there with the leaning, is it possible that different proportions don't allow that or am I missing something?

[@PaulTwyman]

Yes you need to find how each position, pose or drill fits your body type. I struggle with knees into elbows as my hips and spine are tight in that much flexion. I recommend filling some strength gaps with some more foundation calisthenics skills like these kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKfWmoGJrtR5rM0

0:19 straddle Planche progression?

[@PaulTwyman]

Yeah could be, I do a lot of 90 deg HSPU reps that pass through Planche like positions. Any of those definitely help but I’d also be hitting lots of Planche specific sets
