Get Your Handstand Stronger! Beginner To Advanced

[@Dan-cz5sj]

Your idea of what is beginner and advanced has shifted significantly over the years looool

[@thomastucker7317]

Knowing is nice, doing is better. Very based

[@karlbratby4349]

Thanks for this tutorial, in my teens i could do this, county gymnast. I have a determination now 53 to get there again.

[@juansabaTV]

Very well explained Tom, Handstand can be tricky, hard to train and these kind of things are needed in order to improve accordingly

[@ItachiUchiha-wb5qe]

Thanks for this video tom, you really have changed me after a rough patch in my life. watching and doing the follow along with you bring peace in my life. I do follow your flexibility and mobility follow along daily. Now working on my handstand. Recently bought rings for getting more pull as well as push strength. Would love to have some follow along for beginners ring workout and a follow along V2 for beginners handstand

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Love to hear that man, you’ve done the hard work but happy I was able to help out. Consider it on the list 👍

[@ItachiUchiha-wb5qe]

@@BodyweightWarrior thank you tom, eagerly waiting for it

[@Venserql]

With the videos like this and "You Can Balance A Handstand, Whats Next?!", it feels like I have a clear progression instead of just blindly trying things. It's really helpful, thanks.

[@wetsand7379]

Tom, can you do an at home follow along complete leg workout?

Tom is that one college professor you never want to miss ❣

Perfect timing as I am formulating my 2022 goals: this video will make my handstand goal fly by

[@philippd8844]

Once again, love your content! Keep up the great explanations :) Also tons of details for all the progressions and inbetween progressions. I am at the tuck version, will definitely try to bring it to the next level within the next training sessions

[@runforyourlife7229]

Thank you for this video, currently learning the handstand from 0 and i can definitely need all the help i can get! What would you say is the average time for an overall athletic person to get to a full handstand?

[@sports9060]

I had it in around 2 months ( holding an okay 30 seconds +- ) I wasn't super consistant and did 10 minutes every two days or so! Most important thing I should have known is the strength needed to perform a handstand. I jumped straight in and my back and arms weren't strong enough to hold me, so definitely try and hold 2 minutes against a wall for a week before really trying the balancing act! Then it's a matter of trial and error, repeating and repeating till you get it right! I just kicked against a wall for a month and was getting little 5/6 seconds here and there and after a month I managed to hold 10 seconds ish! All of Tom's video were incredibly useful but at the end of the day it's really just practice practice practice :) goodluck! Starting the hold 5 seconds one hand handstand now, around a year later :)

[@davidcauson7008]

I'd say the average is 6 months to a year depending on your shoulder and finger strength and consistency of your practice.

[@harshrathod5061]

Thankyou for the amazing video. Loved it. 💯

[@flowmotion_sw7616]

awesome video! i will apply some of those!

[@Isai314]

My goal for 2022 is do a handstand. I weigh 152 lbs and I'm 5'7 aswell as just turned 14. I want to get fit in order to join sport teams in HS when i join high school in September

[@friedchicken-fan8845]

Thank you very much for this. Really helpful on getting those basics right. I used to have extremely limited overhead mobility and now I've been told my shoulders have become "too open"!! Hopefully some of the basic handstand techniques, especially, the box starting point, you outlined will get some of that control back. 😞

[@Asadc1995]

Also work alot of that heavy elevation push trapezius strength besides flexibility that makes the learning curve in other handstand handbalancing elements easier

[@brookbisrat1244]

Please do a 60 minute all lower body!

[@JB-sp3el]

Thanks for the vid🙃! I can implement this directly to my current schedule ✌🏻

[@SavioToms]

Yay, thank you for this video! My goal for this year is a handstand haha

[@youtuberdisguiser6075]

Thx for the video man. Im currently doing my first bulk (gained 15kg sofar) and im not planning to cut anytime soon. And this will hopefully help me get back into handstand training once i feel like it.

[@NeoArmstrongJetArmstrongCannon]

It's always funny when people say that handstand is more about balance than strength. My brother in God, balance is merely the manifestation of strength. Strength of the supporting, deep muscles. So yes, handstands are about balance. But balance is about strength.

How did you get up on the 2 boxes? 🤔 I only have wall anyway but that slide action would be beneficial.

[@antoniocorbachomatthes1629]

Hey Tom, thx a lot for this great video. Mabye you can answer me a question, or link to a video where this it's explained. I'm having issues with my neck, having a feeling it's too short, like a nerve it's pinched, when I put my shoulders upwards to my ears...

[@Aranore]

Hey Tom! Just stumbled upon your chanel and my goodness amazing. I'm currently using your flexibility routines and curious if you have any recommendations for hip flexors and Achilles tendons? Many of your stretches I'm having to alter or stop as I suffer from abnormally short and tight Achilles, and this also affects my hip flexors (if I try a splits, they seize and cramp immensely) Thank you so much for all your content!

[@plnkfloydian7814]

I’m noticing a pattern for me of getting comfortable kicking up into and holding a handstand for 10-20 seconds and then injuring my wrist and losing progress while having to stay off it. This time around I had to take a month off of training it and even avoided push-ups.

[@dean8147]

do you stretch your wrists? any mobility training?

[@morleybridwell871]

Tom, when it comes to training the press what ratio between press drills and actually press attempts would you recommend. Great video!

[@musanibilal]

Hey tom i started learning handstand from a month ago, I can hold for 10 sec because of your guide, I think my core is banded while doing handstand and it's look like banana handstand and I can't straight it in handstand , how can I straight my core please, guide me Or make video on that.. At last love you, keep supporting us

[@dazza06go47]

What about stretching to be good at pistol squat

[@AndreasKurz]

Great video. Any hint how to prevent falling backwards (not on the side of the back but back where you started from - the stomach side). Falling forward - I can prevent that with my fingers... but falling the other (stomache) side... I have no clue what I could do then.

[@adriangodoy4610]

Pike handstands are way harder than handstand, you need leg flexibility that you don't really need for handstands

[@nitinsethi1660]

I'm trying since a year but haven't been able to crack it yet. I feel stamina is the key to do drills to hold and improve. Any tips improving stamina?

[@ST3FF3]

Can pike push-ups build similar strenght as these drills?

[@sbattepac]

Strength work at the end of the session? I'm not sure I understand this advice.

[@speculativesapient7139]

A lot of mobility/flexibility is required for many of these exercises

[@BodyweightWarrior]

And all these drills help develop that 👍

[@larrycostas5727]

Get this strong! To do what? What is the purpose to be “this strong”? To have bragging rights?

[@larrycostas5727]

He should use this time to get an education and a real job and still have time to run around the block few times to stay healthier than this. Narcissism is very subtle….

[@jaysonnestic3310]

Been doing basic pike pushups to try to build a foundation for the HSPU and I never know how far apart to put my hands. In the straight like handstand my hands are directly down but when I do my pike pushups they are wider than my typical handstand. For the HSPU are you hands meant to be slightly wider than a typical straight line handstand?

[@dean8147]

ive got the same problem mate, leaving a comment for an answer

[@theevilgoat3263]

Whos doing the headstand in the picture frame behind you

[@a-s7179]

hi Tom is handstand press harder than Straddle planche ? cuz it seems impossible !

[@carlwilkie6220]

I've been doing a bit of pike stands/pike push ups but really struggle to get a good pike position due to a poor hip hinge. What would you recommend to improve that? In order to move away from bending the legs during this movement.

[@hasawiss]

hey.is it safe with a back problems? discs out of place

[@e.a.2359]

Peace ✌️

[@conormacgregor1790]

So an issue I'm facing is dealing with under balancing. My fingers are incredibly inflexible so fighting against falling forward isn't much of an issue but I'm basically incapable of "lifting my palm" to correct falling backwards. I've tried working on finger flexibility and it feels more like my first knuckles are going to snap rather than stretch! Is this something I should continue to try and work on or will I just eventually be able to muscle it?

[@imosyon]

how can I lessen the blood rush on my head whenever i do handstand /upside down skills?

[@TheHabibOfMankind]

These are the tips I can think of: - Drink a lot of water - Warm up - Do little bursts of holds (hold for sets of 10 seconds and go from there) - Breathe slowly and deeply

[@wooopy111222333]

Tom, what is the Brand of your Pants? Love your vids!

[@baz_k]

Man I really try to do this but can't because my hamstring flexibility is so poor and the bent knee version can't get my torso upright

[@Jelieto]

Work on flexibility and strength in the meantime 🙌

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Effort and intent here is a huge aspect. It will gradually open with time but additional flexibility work may be required

[@cic789]

I've got the same issues. What I do is that facing the wall walk up until hip hight and bend your knees as far as you need to get the alignment in your shoulders and back, for me have to a lot. This might not be the proper thing but this way you get the right alignment and also for me is good for building strength in my shoulders and flexibility too. Not so much in my hamstrings.. 😅
