Couldn't say better! For me was the same thing, I started with the wall but once I could hold it without the wall, I stopped using it, until I understood what I was missing!

[@Beats-By-Anthony]

Amazingly good video Tom!

[@AsianSwaag9]

Thanks for the tip! Will definitely try this as I've been struggling to find balance

[@nika_cm]

this was super helpful, esp the second tip. Thank you!

[@drsharmaarun]

You always make so much sense to me... Currently I am at this stage of chest to wall HS balancing. And I actually realised that I was doing more of what you mentioned in 'A' part of the 2 comparisons. Will be doing more 'B' now. Absolute gem of information. A big👍

[@gabrielleterry6754]

So thankful for your videos. They’re super helpful in my CrossFit journey !

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

So the handstand lesson was super as per...but I LOVE that wall! Joyous. Hope you are well Tom. x

[@manasupadhyay2979]

Very valuable advice. Thanks.

[@alexiasalazar6034]

Very helpful!! Thanks😍

[@FilthyVirus]

These are great! Thank you very much!

[@gcortinaa]

Hi Tom, I started watching your videos as a way to warm up before the day starts, since I don't have a lot of time to work out. I work sitting in a desk all day and was wondering if you have any videos to stretch in the office, something anyone in a desk job could easily do to avoid bad posture and all the complications that derive from such work. Thanks and great job man!

[@h_h03]

Thanks for the video 🙏

[@CubeCityBoy]

I love watching someone doing a hand stand!... I'd love to be able to do that!

[@whatsstandard]

Thanks for this! I didn't know I was doing this until just now!

Thanks my friend

[@joshuapolycarpe102]

I've recently downloaded the app and it's been a super helpful guide to follow along with. Thanks! I've definitely been guilty of being the A guy thanks for the tip today I'm going to push myself to be the B guy today. Even more thanks!

[@desigilmore5044]

Concise. Informative and bang on the money. Peace

[@lorenamurialdo2780]

Hello!! I would love it if you would do a follow along on how to hop to handstand. I am totally stuck and I know you have to think about hips going up, shoulders over wrists etc. Any help would be appreciated.

[@mattc4266]

I’m downloading your app to check out the handstand progressions . I really want to learn !

[@user-ri5yu8jh3y]

So, can you do that or what?

[@horsespiritDK]

Thank you 😘💪

[@MarkMugen]

Thanks for the tips! 💪🙏 basically use the wall

[@40youngman]

대박 멋집니다. 굿 저도 연습중입니다

[@JAHIDxJD]

Wow. I think I’m just worried about falling 😂

[@VinayYadav-zz9ou]

Same problem bruh..😂

[@lawrencebutler7016]

really good advice cheers, i'll get back to the wall

[@khue6377]

Thank you Tom, I will begin trying your techniques and let see where it would lead me to ... I would comeback to let you know my progress

[@enhancedlemons484]

My god this helped so much

[@puddingball]

I needed the second tip about a year ago. Still learning the normal handstand, but noticing a lot of progress in the last month (actually performing less handstands) :)

[@harshjain8939]

His videos are like "Meditation" for me. 😊😊

[@changename8820]

Perfect 👌

[@samueleballerini6442]

Right now is impossible to sign in in the app, it crashes. I wrote an email to your support team, hope they'll fix the problem because it seems a very good workout app!

[@atticus319]

From the thumbnail, I thought it was a guy without legs doing a handstand

[@kilgoretrout6136]

Me too. Lol.

[@anshumansingh3642]

Hey Tom I've been following you since 1 year, can you please tell me best side oblique bodyweight exercises. I just want to add more muscle mass to my side abs, please help, I know internet is full of these information but I trust you more 😄😄

[@henhentanuwijaya8311]

legit. I watched loads of youtube videos, most of them realized they wasted months just to practice kick-up without even bother the proper technique and how to activate core etc etc.

[@MrBeeMeR320D]

Would love to do/try more handstands, but i have really painfull wrists... I try to loosen them with (your) exercises, but i have this problem for all my life...

[@Deadtired83]

Have you tried turning your hands a bit more outwards/spread? (a bit like in this this picture, maybe even slightly more: barbend.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Handstand-1024x684.jpg). I have also issues with my right wrist, but turning hands into a bit different position makes the pain disappear pretty much completely.

[@MrBeeMeR320D]

@@Deadtired83 tried it in different positions and yes, this works best. Thanx for your input.

[@basedlukashenko5249]

Love you bro. Collab with Max True and little beast?!

[@rozarozo8026]

I’m having difficulties to kick up, any tips?

[@antonioperez7528]

Thanks for the tricks & tips Tom. How long did it take you to master the wall balancing H/Stand. Some people might take longer maybe because lack of scapula & wrist strength. Keep it up bro. 🙏🏾 💪🏾💛🤙🏾

[@antonioperez7528]

Before surgery 5 months ago. I started holding against the wall & wall walks for strength. Sense then I have lost so much Upper body gains. But it’s ok because I have been working on pancake, H/Strings & Front splits my weakness.

[@AzadC]

Press with your finger tips to brake the weight from falling forward that way your have some time to bail out.

[@antonioperez7528]

A.C.A:1995 Thank you for taking the time to reply. Will do.

[@tristanpegnottga2002]

Second is the best

[@leotastic5572]

Why do you do the wall handstand with you stomach facing the wall. I know how to handstand but when I learned it I did it with my back facing the wall cause when I fell over I could land on my feet.

[@Beats-By-Anthony]

Tom I have a question (not related to the handstand although).... How should my head postion be in the front lever (tucked, advanced, straddle, full)? Should I look to the sky, should I look to my feet or everywhere in between?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

no real right or wrong here. Whichever feels good

[@karthik_silkroads]

B? pointed toes? less arched back?

[@harsheettiwari2641]

I feel like when I get tired while doing thses my face is gonna hot the floor so help me out that how do I keep my self from falling hard on the ground while doing wall handstand.

[@blakethebirdmeister5336]

Harsheet Tiwari fall on your elbows instead of your face

[@rharoundworldcp]

Amazing! Have you considered relaxing your head instead of looking at the ground? Makes it even harder! Great vids!

[@aliensoup2420]

Yeah, you should keep the head down, and just look at your hands through the top of your eyes. Generally, your body follows your head, so forcing your head up induces an arch in your back. Looking down or toward your front will reduce the tendency to arch.

[@amandamate9117]

are u in a private gym?

[@panoskaiolakala1053]

What if you fall forward ?????

[@jaredadams1551]

Hi Tom, I tried using your app, but it didn't accept my email address(I'm from the US). I hope there is a way that you can fix this because I am really interested. Thank you

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Hey Jared, sorry it's not working for you. There shouldn't be any issues. Drop me an email to [e-mail] and i'll try and help you out

[@elvisohult]

Me : tries doing handstand at the gym Wrists : I’m about to end this mans whole career

[@zenlifestyleandmannersshow6892]

[@MrADancerUK]

Another aspect of using the wall... and specifically facing the wall.. is your line. A freestanding kick up and you will invariably banana... using a wall takes one element out and therefore you can focus on your line and core-stability. The amount of people who 'think' they can handstand with out a wall and then just look like a floppy piece of pasta.

[@aliensoup2420]

Front to the wall is the best way (dare I say, the ONLY way) to learn a proper handstand. I recommend getting even closer until your entire frontside is flush against the wall. This forces your body into the proper form (no arched back or excessive pike). The balance point is a tiny tap away, or just a slight adjustment of the body or pressure in the hands. I taught myself this method in high-school gymnastics, and my team-mates were in awe of my handstand on floor, parallel bars, and rings.

[@DIYToPen]

Kicking up into handstands is the biggest mistake. It's sold as the easiest method to start with handstands, but really it just makes it harder. Tuck jumping and moving onto pressing is the best way.

[@piotrekuygiutf4946]

Not everybody has strenght or mobility to do this

[@DIYToPen]

@@piotrekuygiutf4946 but that should be the strength and mobility that is their goals. Not everyone has the strength/mobility to handstand at all.

[@piotrekuygiutf4946]

@@DIYToPen yeah, only small part of people have enough mobility for handstand. Most of them have strenght but every kind of pressing is harder than just handstand in terms of strenght. And tuck handstand requires even more mobility than just standing. Anyway i think tuck jumping can be better only if you have requirements. If not you should stay with kicking

[@piotrekuygiutf4946]

And keep working on mobility and strenght

[@XieTianXieDi888]

Why do you look at your hands?

[@davesurya1356]

Wall is literally your next gf when learning hs. Hug and treat her right.

[@AzadC]

Yeah agree give her some love appreciation!.

[@abuzohaifa1066]

Except you kick it to learn handstand.

[@jgsource552]

Abu Zohaifa you don’t have to kick it

[@theomega24th37]

Make out with it as well, if necessary.

[@agufana]

I learnt handstands by continuously kicking up. I know I should've used the wall, I'm sure it would've been quicker, but I found the wall so boring! It was more fun to just keep kicking up!

[@codyheiner3636]

The main difference I saw was in A you are tapping the wall much more frequently. I'd be hard-pressed to find a convincing argument for that being a difference of correct vs incorrect rather than degree of skill though, but let's see what you've got!

[@JDRuleZZ1]

Cant understand why everybody gave advices how to belly to wall handstand to noobs (like me). I think the problem of many many guys -like me- is to be afraid of falling hard on the back! I started with back to wall to fall on feets. So my pro friends. How we can programm our brains like dont fear to kick up and how to fall right and not die...
