It took me around a year of consistent practice to be able to do a good handstand. It’s way faster for others, but damn it was hard for me. Figuring out how to position my legs and actively tightening my butt and core were the tips that finally unlocked it. Don’t underestimate the importance of squeezing that booty

[@ps-dh8ef]

you suck this took me a day lol

[@cockeyedoptimista]

Thank you for those tips!

[@immortaldragon7735]

Im 255lbs, my hands be hurting while trying, but I have been doing some wrist mobility and strengthening which has helped me alot since ive started on my calisthenics and body movement journey! Thanks for the video, you guys really good teachers, peace, one love ✊🏼

[@JH-zr8lo]

I was glad to see you added "hanging" as conditioning, about 9-10 months into comprehensive handstand training I started Aerial Hoop. I had some crossover skills from yoga but I lacked "pull" strength whereas handstanding and yoga is "push". As I improved hanging to pull ups and other aerial conditioning I was surprised how much of a positive impact on my balance, flexibility and grip strength.

[@issaiyahyisrael4869]

Every piece of advice that you give is gold. Big ups. 🏆

I love your voice, and the way you talk is so calm and encouraging.

You are the best Fitness channel on KZbin.

[@Hustrulill]

I love the advice you give in this video. I have worked on handstands for a looong time but never tried the split handstand with a wall.

[@headicuss]

Wow that tutorial was amazing,think I'm going to try it out again. I couldn't move forward with my training because of wrist problems,but when I get that sorted out I'm definitely taking your approach 👍🏿👍🏿

[@floriangirard2052]

Good tips !! Specially body posture to avoid : lordosis ++ and light shoulder flexion

[@TheRussianLondoner]

Amazing video, THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@gabrielborgesteixeira9826]

Thank you Josh! Never thought that training the hang in bars would be useful for the handstand. I’ll add this in my routine. It’s a long journey till the perfect handstand. You are amazing, should know that. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷

Thanks, Josh! I am challenging myself to learn how to hand stand during lockdown. Cheers for the vid.

[@booom615]

hows it going?

[@steveyoung9522]

Josh I’m 10 months into handstand journey. I really want to thank you for everything I’ve learned. Your videos have helped me tremendously!!! It’s hard work but worth it. This beginners overview is on point. Keep making great videos like this!!!

[@PunchNugget]

Simple vid. Thanks!

[@sarelito9202]

Good advice, thanks!

[@anishinc]

Brother, the BEST part of your channel is you make people believe in themselves and the process :) I cant do this today, but I know someday I will, because you've shared simple steps that can get me to START, which is always the most challenging. I know a few years down, a big point of pride will be 'oh you just found out about Josh, I've been watching him kill it for years' :) Cheers to you my friend, god bless :)

[@lloydgilby4865]

Bloody love this josh. Fairplay eye opener to a new format of workout and mobility. Been a pro athlete rugby union, but old now with replaced knees and other joint issues and find you are helping loads. I went to sign up thinking it's 29 a month but I cabt afford 59 a month am gutted but will hope things improve and will sign up. Thanks for helping a old man find his Umph again 🤘

[@RonViner9]

Josh, love your videos!

[@go9ro367]

I practiced for a year against the wall and was quite comfortable, but when I tried without the wall as backstop, I couldn’t find the proper posture and balance point. Finally solved it by abandoning the wall and methodically practicing kick up. Also, cartwheeling into a handstand helped me learn better balance and control. I no longer fear falling because I can always get back to my feet safely.

[@UltimateXmas]

great video, gotta get this going.

[@taylorbreanne7397]

[@ticoalochancho]

Great stuff! Why had I never tried the chest to wall? All my life messing around!

[@Strengthside]

Most people are the same! Chest to wall required a little setting the ego aside 😁

[@therealmathis5362]

Ah man a few days ago I decided to start me reversed vertical journey and then this video pops up. Wonderful as always. Thank you for the amazing content. Peace and love my homie

[@chrisplayz253]

I feel like I'll be able to do a handstand if I follow your instructions. Thanks for the free information brother 💪👍🤜🤛

[@Ex0dus111]

This is great and useful, but hopefully there is a part two to this, as you stopped right at the difficult part. Lots of people try for years and never get off the wall.

[@aengusgiblin2284]

Awesome

[@binoyashok3620]

Hey Josh, rad vid. Thanks for all the options 👍🏻 I have a bothersome shoulder but I WILL GET THERE 💪🏼 BTW, I can't seem to access your video from yesterday. It says private video 🙈

[@tomikk86]

name of the soundtrack please? (great choice) and cool tutorial of course, will try practice front to the wall more, thanks!

[@ma-ox2pm]

I can do forearm stand and head stand but can never do a hand stand, thank you for the advice, cheers mate

[@ricardogkruger]

Very Top

[@PabloMartinez-gt9yw]

Cool I always wanted to do handstands

[@SENTHILKUMAR-eq1fg]

VERY super sir.l LIKE it.

[@User_ML907]

I avoid handstanding chest against wall because it causes me pain in the in the spine at the lowest part of the back. I manged to strengthen my core and back with stabilization and strengthening drills for long time. I will give this a go carefully with pushing hard the floor and squeezing everything.

[@NordKristal1kristal]

Omg amazing like

[@cockeyedoptimista]

I've tried all my life, just like the example at the beginning! Could always do headstands w/ no problem but not hands - and my twin (not identical) could always stand on her hands, even walk! Coupla years, a yoga teacher explained it had to do with strength, and suggested I work up to it by doing pushups and other exercisss to build shoulder and wrist strength before moving to the wall. That was the first I heard that it had to do with strength & not just balance! I didn't work on it - too much chaos in my life - but I'm still interested. Maybe your advice will be helpful too. I always had good balance, but upper body strength is another story, as well as slender (weak) wrists and ankles, which I want to build up. Maybe some people might need more prep b4 they go to the wall?

[@qevivcreations8536]

Hey Joshua, would u like to show us excercies for trapezius muscles?

[@junglegymbali5136]

I made it in june 20 do it each day twice Right now i train going from squat position to it & after gonna train handstand pushups....)

[@angelafeero]

As a fat girl at the beginning, the kick up was so scary. Even though I knew I had the strength I needed my coaches to guide me up to the wall. To all the fatties out there....YOU GOT IT!

[@Blxzeraps]

Man your voice is so soothing...

[@annasaclolo6929]

Ohhhh! Okay 👌.!!!!

[@JR-be7bi]

Oh my.. Handstand just reminded me of my childhood...... Body was definitely more flexibility then 😁😁

[@swethasankar1318]

What should I do to strengthen my hands to support my body

[@DailaLV]

Hi...I'm quite motivated to this 💪 today I tried first time with wall. Didn't last long though 😁 I have two questions : is it normal to feel quite some pressure and pulsating around ears? And how long time I have to do it? I mean, per day, ? Thanks

[@sogood3966]

I'm not expert,but been learning handstand for a while.1)Pressure when you upside down is very normal,as you keep praticing your body will get used to it.2)In training skill,you have to focus on your form,when you're feel like you're breaking it then just stop and rest.With that said,the intensity is low,4-5 times per/week once per/day is enough.If you usually go to the gym,make sure your muscle is recovered(espeacially,shoulders and triceps).Wish you luck

[@Ed-em6mf]

My issue with handstand is that whenever i stop looking at the ground and face straight in front of my body, I start to feel dizzy and lose balance almost right away. :D

[@Baker4life777]

Make a video about working out with a broken foot

[@hilaluzun6266]

👏👏👏✌️

[@Micro.Movement]

Chest to wall is great, but not necessarily the best for beginners, using more wall variations helps practitioners to improve their alignments and strength faster.

[@puntabachata]

How do you get back away from the wall and safely down in the first beginner tip?

[@sujatagawade7770]

The way you got into that position,try to return in the same way

[@lauralarsen5741]

How do I get my wrists from being sore/tired?

[@nomadsland4600]

Thanks Josh... the big problem is always the lack of flexibility of the shoulders

[@gaia_arttt]

Unfortunatelly I just ate before I Watch this video.... I would have do this immediately..... But tomorrow is a good day!

[@varunroy221]

And so is day after tomorrow. 😅

[@gaia_arttt]

@@varunroy221 I am serious though 😋😋😋😋

[@Strengthside]

How did it go ??

[@gaia_arttt]

@@Strengthside well it was too difficult for me to go upside down. I have the strength but I guess it is mostly my fear of falling down even against the wall, that doesn't let me do it. It takes time and practice and someday it will be easy for me to do! Thank you for asking 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@somerandomboi8239]

@@gaia_arttt learn to break your fall first. That will help you overcome your fear. Search up "judo ukemi", it's designed for hard surfaces. It is possible to fall and not feel anything at all, trust me. And it's really easier to learn than handstand bcs it is nothing about strength, only technique. And it looks badass when you do it.💪 Good luck.

[@finnneilson6229]

Is it bad to do handstands frequently for more than a minute, feel like all the blood going to my head isn't healthy in the long run maybe... Doesn't feel good

[@Mike-hw5jp]

Great vid but why does NOBODY on the internet talk about HOW TO FALL? The #1 problem I have is not having a safe way to come down from chest to wall. If you get too close you can fall onto your hips/back and really injure yourself. If you hold it too long you are so fatigued that walking your hands away from the wall to come down is almost impossible. I have started my kickup journey to back-to-wall and it is terrifying but I know that I either hit a wall or come down to my feet. Any thoughts or tips ?

[@Strengthside]

Tom Merrick has a video on this

[@koxanie]

👍🌌

[@lwandilemakubalo7477]

'I appreciate you spending the time, make sure to subscribe'.

[@ienjoyapples]

I've been training my handstand nearly every day for 7 months and I still can't hold it for more than a few seconds with any consistency. I'm really starting to get discouraged. I stopped using the wall a while ago, but I will go back to it and try these tips. Thanks.

[@brambes1804]

The turtle beats the rabbit

[@tepaguilar2019]

Just keep at it. Some people learn fast, others do not. Just keep practicing smartly and efficiently, one day something is gonna click and things will finally start falling into place!

[@Strengthside]

Keep going!

[@MsGeorge50]

Its very hard for me to breath when I try to handstand. It feels like the whole pressude of my body is in my head and on my chest. Edit: I am 60kg with 1,83m height

[@annnichakul]

EC. George yes, I agree that it’s hard to breathe

[@peterpan8360]

the higher your blood sugar level is at this time, the stronger this feeling is. try not to eat anything and only drink water for some time before your handstand session

[@BatkoBrat]

@@peterpan8360 yes! Do it on an empty stomach. I do 80% of my workouts on an empty stomach. It is life changing

[@3DHDcat]

Just weak

[@JH-zr8lo]

Your body needs to acclimate to being inverted and developing your proprioception. Start with down dog and forward fold--breathe slowly and deeply. Also try learning crow pose and headstand before progressing to handstand.

[@kgajjahnhutchinson-baldwin6411]

Holy shit bro.

[@annnichakul]

I think my problem is my upper back and shoulder are not strong enough

[@SeekingandBeing]

Hi Nichakul! I'm strengthening my shoulders by holding downward dog and dolphin pose. You can look them up and see if those help👍🏻

[@Mohammed-js6cz]

I'm 6'3 and obese and have never been flexible or really strong in regards to core strength. Would I be able to achieve this?

[@VinOptimaxxx]

Yep, although you've got some work ahead of you :)

[@N0R3L777]

Using the handstand as an exercise for time is definitely humbling lol

[@AlessiaDarkstar]

Doing the wall stand scares me that I might fall backwards

[@westdel1]

Same

[@lehongduong132]

You need to learn how to bail first. Start with wall walk, then lift one hand up and rotate your body to fall down to the side. At first do this farther from the wall and progressively move closer as you get more confident.

[@rnonthenicschannel4820]

Hello Sorry Brother Do you Calisthenics Workout?

[@yellowrose5978]

I can't do handstand even with assistance, like two people holding me. It's hopeless.
