+FitnessFAQs Thanks

[@cuba317]

So fast progress. Just wtf

[@cleber7081]

true comment.

[@benjaminlopez4168]

Your shoulder strength is ridiculous. Your flexibility is out of this world. Simply incredible.

[@JNith]

I've found this to be really motivating. I use to think handstands were just something even kids can do, but now after getting into calisthenics I see how difficult and how much of an art form it is when seeing people balance on their hands in amazing different positions.

[@rievgr]

Bro wtf, the way you isolate each part of your body to do the moves, while keeping the supporting arm perfectly still is unreal, and in less than 2 years, respect.

[@GarrettBodman]

Amazing. I'm so envious.

[@matthinton19]

Great progress. I haven't managed a freestanding handstand yet but managed my first 10 second handstand coming away from the wall. Keep it up!!

[@Thedancerlol]

Really good job, you´re an inspiration man :)

[@Reaching2Sky]

Thank you for uploading this video. It is really motivating to see how you passed from not being able to do a simple handstand, to a beautiful one arm handstand. I will keep training!

[@Rhythmape]

Wow! It's amazing what a year's time can bring.

[@rile06]

Really inspiring! I wanted to do this and then saw your video. I doubt I will be as good as you, but I will try my best. Even if I have to wake up early every day and train. You're a big inspiration.

[@jonmanabimichael]

Quentin you are amazing ... incredible strength and balance ... truly extraordinary!!! I've posted/share your video to Facebook and I hope a lot more folks view your videos!

[@sanchezquentin9619]

+Jon Michael Thank you :)

[@mikeferris889]

Super motivating work! I also have a background in martial arts and kickboxing, and it's translating well into my hand balance training. I'm taking a little bit of step approach, working on other poses like the crow, and bent knee/straight leg lever before serious handstand training. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@Itsjonnylopez]

the best progress i have ever seen..

[@wimm1392]

WOW, super flexible, fit and healthy. Thanks for sharing

[@yogathenics]

consistency bring results.💪

[@tevai2107]

Cette vidéo montre bien a quel point la perséverance et le travail paie. Respect Quentin , arriver a un niveau pareille en si peu de temp c'est ouf !! En espérant que tu continuera poster des vidéo ya rien de plus motivant avant de faire un bon training one arm !! :)

[@sanchezquentin9619]

+Maleko Merci, je vais essayer de poster plus de vidéo sur KZbin a l'avenir :)

[@pablo_ripoll]

It's just insane. My god. Congrats!!!!

[@leonznsm]

really awesome balance..

[@VinhNguyen-ey8ew]

Wow, it's like art!

[@sinexissionex1389]

Perfect!Perfect!Perfect!

[@sarahcrisp9194]

this looks amazing! I would love to try it myself, but I'm scared of aggravating my elbow injury from last year. =( I think I'll stick to yoga for now, but maybe once I've built up some more core and arm strength I'll give it a go.

[@funnycompilations9]

Arm and core strength will increase naturally, if u practise

[@HandstandGuy.]

Nice my man. THIS IS ART !

[@sagaeq]

Incredible! I am following you on facebook for quite a while and I am really surprised to see such a dramatic progress in short period of time!

[@sanchezquentin9619]

+SagaOfEquilibium Thanks, i had a good progress but i still have a lot of work to do.

[@wandererstraining]

Je suis toujours impressionné par ta progression foudroyante, Quentin. C'était une très bonne idée de la mettre en vidéo comme ça.

[@sanchezquentin9619]

+wandererstraining merci, j'ai trouvé ça agréable de retracer mes progrès( et de voir le chemin qu'il me reste à parcourir pour atteindre mes objectifs), je pense uploader la vidéo sur Facebook. Et toi, ça avance comme tu veux ton entrainement?

[@wandererstraining]

Sanchez Quentin Oui, tranquillement pas vite. Je prends mon temps. Là, mon poignet droit est pas mal endolori, alors je fais attention. Mais bon. Ça va. Question: as-tu déjà essayé de faire du main à main? Je pense que tu y serais bon. T'es léger et ton alignement est très bon. Faudrait juste que tu entraînes ton équi en force un peu plus pour pouvoir le faire même quand t'es fatigué, mais sinon, t'as tout ce qu'il faut pour être un excellent voltigeur.

[@sanchezquentin9619]

+wandererstraining J'avais déjà pensé au main a main, mais avec mon poignet droit encore blessé(ça fait 6 mois, ça s'améliore mais j'ai pas encore tout récupéré), je préfère ne pas essayer. Et puis il faut aussi trouver un porteur. Je compatis pour ton poignet, c'est assez gênant d'avoir mal sur cette articulation.

[@wandererstraining]

Sanchez Quentin Merci. Et j'espère que ton poignet finira de guérir vite! Pour le main à main, tu as l'air super léger, je suis sûr qu'un porteur de taille moyenne te conviendrait. Au moins, ça augmente les chances, si tu veux essayer un jour.

[@hillareeharper3256]

You are amazing I'm self taught and use canes You make it look so easy and I know that is harder on floor cuz you can't grip as well so that makes it so much more impressive

[@kdramaloverboy6223]

Your body is #goals.

[@damir2go]

Love your video. Keep it up

[@BudadsCalisthenics]

Superbe video ! Très belle progression, et dire qu'il ne t'as fallu que quelques mois pour tenir l'equilibre à un bras (en straddle premierement)...

[@sanchezquentin9619]

+Budads .Calisthenics Merci, j'ai commencé à "sentir" l'équilibre sur un bras au bout de 7 mois environ, mais il m'a fallu plus de temps pour vraiment le tenir à toutes mes tentatives. Apres j'aime pas trop parler en mois ou en année, je pense qu'il faut avant tout compter en heure et en volonté. Parce que entre quelqu'un qui s’entraîne 3 fois deux heures par semaine, et quelqu'un qui s’entraîne 2 heures par jours les progrès sur un mois seront totalement différent. Et entre une personne qui se donne a fond à chaque entrainement et qui essaye toujours de faire évoluer ses techniques, et une autre qui se contente de faire x série de y répétitions à chaque entrainement. Il va encore y avoir une grosse différence de progression.

[@BudadsCalisthenics]

+Sanchez Quentin Tout a fait c'est vrai !

[@nickfalciani5303]

Inspiring

[@zeuus026]

bravo, c'est vraiment beau .

[@sanchezquentin9619]

+Jean audibert Merci

[@rh4802]

Inspiring !

[@arafposwal2579]

good progress i love ur progresss

[@tommorobz]

Very impressive. I like your flexibility, I need to improve mine. You are an inspiration. Thanks for uploading.

[@sanchezquentin9619]

+tommorobz Thanks, i wish you good flexibility progress.

[@vladislavtsarkov8922]

+Sanchez Quentin Did you ever stretch at all? Or did you gain flexibility through the hand stand press and just balance? thanks

[@tevai2107]

+Vladislav Tsarkov Of curse he strech this is probably one of the most important training for the one arm ^^

[@jordangarcia3995]

Inspiring dedication brother!

[@sanchezquentin9619]

+jordan garcia Thanks Jordan!

[@giorgiocaggiano8290]

Very inspiring!! 🔥💪

[@antonytrickerswag5975]

Inspiración man 👌

[@daniel1.11]

beautiful . You could recommend something, start on this : D please

[@DungNguyen-gu9gw]

Most motivating video I've ever seen. You made an incredibly fast progression. What the best source would you recommend to learn handstand and one arm progression? Thank you

[@juanptellezful]

I just stumbled upon your video. Very inspiring to see your progress. If I may ask: what books, people, or other resources would you recommend for both handstands/hand balancing and flexibility (it’s clear from the video that you have achieved the middle splits)?

[@benbenne4518]

How fast developments is it? Amazing

[@danielhofmann7126]

Great!!!!!

[@Carrots571]

woah that's amazing! well done :)

[@artroomx]

Could you let us know some tips bro ? i'd really like to know how you strengthen and take care of wrists

[@tilmanrotationalinvariant2257]

how is that motivating?^^ it looks like you breeze through it and I have even problems with my flexibilty despite that I'm stretching everyday in my 3h every day gymnastics training! No, jokes aside, did you just practise or how did grow that fast stable in your body while doing one arm? I'm doing quite a lot of exercises but my hips are often doing what they want. Two arm is easily stable:/

[@patrickmaricic4220]

I would be interested, did you get instructions by a teacher or is this self-thought? Impressive anyway!

[@yarelpineda8095]

fucking awesome

[@nathanegan2546]

very nice how often do you train

[@Linzw44]

your a beast, fast learner for sure .. did you have gymnastics backround ?

[@sanchezquentin9619]

Thanks, no i didn't have a gymnastic background.

[@Mangalover98]

wouldn't that hurt though because I train maybe an hour or hour an a half and after that day my shoulders are swore did you ever do full rests?

[@lastreetworkout3742]

How did you get the flexibility to do the side flag handstands ? I can't figure those out . I need a mentor :(

[@JustKanji]

In one month you were already able to hold and press to handstand?

[@salgorogaztec8846]

Do you only do hand stands during your 2-3 hours per day? I'm interested in improving but I get very tired after doing a hand stand for about 5 minutes. Do you spend your training in one session or throughout the day?

[@mateuszleman302]

Amazing *.* Any tips for one arm hold?

[@sanchezquentin9619]

You need at least 10 hours of focused training per week if you want to learn it. Don't rush when you are raising your free arm. Keep the trapezius of your free arm always contracted, this muscle should stay at the same position during the mouvment. And the most important, one arm handstand isn't a strength move, so think a lot about your technique and work on your concentration.

[@mateuszleman302]

+Sanchez Quentin Thakns for advice. I can hold one arm like you in 0:50.

[@Helios_zm]

where are you bro?

[@razm7926]

Wow man this is really impressive! I have a question for you. Did you do one session of 2 hours a day? or did you do some sessions at a total time of 2 hours?

[@sanchezquentin9619]

+Raz M 2-3 hours a day ( total of approximately 20 hours a week), everything is in the description.

[@alexh.4514]

What kind of calisthenics training, if any, did you do to build up your core strength for handstands back at the beginning when you were still using two hands?

[@sanchezquentin9619]

I didn't do special exercice for core strength, before practicing hand balancing i was into boxing and martial arts and my workout were very commons( pull up, push up, pistol squat...). By the way you don't need a huge core strength to hold a good handstand.

[@Thedancerlol]

Really impressive, how old was you when you started training handstands?

[@sanchezquentin9619]

Thanks, i started a 19 years old.

[@Divodams]

Did you eat just after you finished your training in order to recover and "cure" your muscles?

[@sanchezquentin9619]

Yes, i always eat after my training.

[@astralgoblin8882]

How often did you practise?

[@I4815]

So, I've been trying to achieve it for 5-6 years and I still can't hold a handstand, only with a wall assistance, so for me your success is remarkable and unreal. What's wrong with me, really?

[@azazulsoulmeister7959]

It's most likely the fear holding you back from truly going for it with attempting the balance. look up a pirouette roll tutorial, master that and the fear of falling should basically dissapear because whenever you feel youre starting to fall you can just safely roll out. Once you have that start off by doing your wall handstand but extending one leg off the wall into the straight actual handstand position, hold it for 60 seconds. do this every day for like a week. After youre used to that try to kick the other leg off the wall very carefully, slowly try to find the balance in a way that won't topple you over.

[@I4815]

Azazul Soulmeister Thank You for your reply but it's not about that. I do acrobatics, I can easily do a cartwheel or a roll preventing me from falling on the floor, I'm not afraid of that. My arms and shoulders are strong enough just as abs. But When I do it I feel my spine is like a snake. So it bends and curves easily. There is something with my back, don't know the actual reason.

[@sanchezquentin9619]

Holding a handstand isn't about arms and shoulder strength. Most of the stability come from yours upper back muscles and trapezius. Hand balancing is also more about technique than strength. So i have to ask you, what is your training volume?

[@I4815]

Sanchez Quentin Do you mean how long do I train in a row and what do I do specifically? It depends, mostly now it's 30 mins a day front facing a wall in a handstand position, body is leaned. I also lift a 40kg bar to stronger my shoulders. Plus static workout on my abs and a lot of flexibility training. That's all, actually. Am I doing everything wrong?

[@P.Ripper]

I learnt simple handstand in about month and a half without using walls, just trying to hold it, about 30 min per day, I actually think that you need to strengthen your wrists and fingers. Maybe learning first headstand would help too, that was my method, hope you get it man, keep it up!!

[@GhillieBR]

All day training?

[@sanchezquentin9619]

+GhilliewolfBR Yes, 2-3 hours of training every day.

[@GhillieBR]

Thank you for answer! The video is very inspiring! and your progression was amazing!

[@GhillieBR]

+Sanchez Quentin Hey, May I ask you another question? Do you split your training between strength and balance? I mean, for example; Monday: Balance, Tuesday: Strength, Wednesday: Core. Or you do all these stuffs in the same day? Press handstands, balance, core, flexibility in the same day?

[@tsurugr7474]

nice but thats not progress, thats straight up handstand if your face wtf you gonna do

[@renzoalvarez612]

Beautiful
