Coach bachman is an absolute beast. I had seen his stuff on Instagram but I now have a new level of respect. This is a gold mine of information and motivation. Daniel the latest podcasts have been riveting

[@kostar500]

Finally Coach Bachman interviewed… love this

[@aaronb2181]

For real

[@oman9492]

6 hours a day 6 days a week for 6 years. That's great.

[@micklefox]

I’m glad to see more physical discipline artists getting acknowledgment on fitness platforms as their training is rigorous and their body awareness is at a very high level. I was introduced to the Cirque in the early 2000’s and started (without knowing it) training contortion cause I just loved it! 20 years later I have had my professional dance career and am teaching full time. I love continuing to learn and grow from majestic performers like Coach. I am inspired to work on my handstands.

[@dolevmazker736]

Sasha is amazibg at his tutorials at handstands

[@franciscochavez1010]

Coach Bachman!! Yes!! I had hired him for a three month coaching program little over a year ago for one arm handstand! Money well spent definitely took me to the next level in my journey and learned things I never knew.

[@Tacit_Tern]

Such as?

[@franciscochavez1010]

@@Tacit_Tern My technique and approach to one arms. Angles on how my body looked to what it “should” be to gain better control to gaining a solid one arm handstand. For me personally working with him for those three months we’re game changing and learning what I learned is something I couldn’t have got by just searching handstands videos online. I needed someone telling me exactly what I was and was not doing right and how to correct them.

[@higherresolution4490]

Now that coach Brockman is in Los Angeles, I hope to follow your example and hire him as a coach once or twice a week for three months or more.

[@ericpatterson5050]

Bachman is Amazing! I Love his videos. 🙌🏿👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾🦵🏾👍🏼💜

[@JohnLothe]

This mans back is like one solid mass, every muscles is like evenly developed and it looks like one single large muscle. Amazing.

[@maximofernandez196]

This last weeks I took training for the handstand seriously, and I'm making really good progress. This video came just in time for the start of my journey

[@dudejoe8390]

Nice to see Coach here! He helped helped me learn and understand the breakdown of handstands more easily and intuitively than anyone else. Coach has great character and humor too.

[@alanequi2786]

The point about keeping your shoulders elevated is really important, I think. The more advanced I get with handstands, the more I realize how little I know, and that I probably shouldn't have tried so hard to always be self-taught. Oh well, there's always KZbin!

[@socialistprofessor3206]

I'm pushing 50 and can only get a few seconds up without touching the wall but that's better than most. One month down and the rest of my life to go...

[@moshKrug]

Amazing interview and tons of practical tips from an expert. Thanks, Daniel.

[@joshuamarchner1606]

This is incredibly insightful! Thank you both for all of the great information.

[@glendizer]

This is pure Gold, thanks Coach, thanks Daniel

[@higherresolution4490]

It's interesting what coach Bachman says at minute 22:00. He explains that once you have excellent balance, then much of the muscle mass developed in the process is no longer necessary. Years ago on the beach in Laguna, the alternate for the US gymnastics team told me the same thing. He said the handstand movements I was doing in the sand were, for him, a product of his tremendous skill and balance. For me it was some balance and mostly brute force.

[@nilskotter4197]

So nice to have Coach Bachmann in this podcast. He is a legend💪

Another absolutely amazing podcast. Keep them coming Still would like to see an interview with someone who has overcome injuries and continues with their calisthenics journey. As I have had multiple tendon/nerve surgeries and aspire to be a calisthenics athlete at 44😂

[@stevenprice4810]

Great interview

[@blxxdsauxce8758]

I was so confused at some point of time when it happened, the first though was "wait you activate your scapula on handstands"., & Since that day i v finally been able to hold wall handstands. I should have found this pod earlier

[@benediktamerongen6929]

Top Quality 💫

[@albertorossetti7959]

"Lifting weight is the worst thing you can do for your handstands!" Goes film in the background of him lifting weights LOL

[@CoachBachmann]

I mean. I wanna be good at handstands but I wanna look outstanding at the beach. I got my priorities straight ;)

[@user-zr9hu3tf1y]

it's kind of weird to me, because i just earlier today watched Coach Bachmann's short on using dumbell excercises to do accessory lifts for calisthenics exercises, like planche and front lever, and then i come here and hear him say that lol

[@TheDodo7000]

@@user-zr9hu3tf1y I think he means lifting weights for hypertrophy goals.

[@akhlismoves]

This is gold. Thanks for sharing this. I've been following Coach Bachmann also on the gram and his feed is absolutely informative. Love you both. Also, if possible, can you interview Valentin Chetverkerin? He is such a beast as well. Clean form and techniques. Just divine.

[@peterlankton935]

Hey, thanks for the work put into your videos. I recently saw a doctor who told me for stretching to hold the position for around 2 minutes. Everywhere else I see more like 20 seconds. Whats your take on that?

[@CoachBachmann]

Hey, there is different research indicating different things. 2 min is excessive. 20sec is not a lot. I would recommend aiming for 40sec high form quality stretch with only small amounts of discomfort. Recent findings indicate that the weekly overall time spend stretching a muscle is more important than the time spend per stretch. This aligns well with my personal experiences as athlete and coach. Try stretching the target group 2-3 times per week in dedicated sessions for best results!

[@SrtZipTop]

I seriously disagree with not having back against the wall. I do agree with it in the sense that if you don’t know how a handstand should look, than you would likely benefit more from doing chest to wall, but as an fairly advanced hand balancer striving for a more perfect line, the only way for me to get my body as hollow as I desire is to have my finger tips touch the wall and to simultaneously have my mid back touch the wall. When I feel my mid back touch I know I’m where I want to be shape wise, so I then press through my fingers enough to take my back away from the wall, meanwhile knowing my shape is where it needs to be. It’s the only way I’ve found for me to get my desired chest in hollow shape.

[@SrtZipTop]

I’ll post a video of me doing the drill so that it makes more sense. Its also not to say that my personal desired line is necessarily better than slightly less hollow, but the back to well handstand is the only thing I’ve found so far that works for me

[@oriaoutlet_USA]

[@masterchief5437]

22:30 This is like hand balancing and break dancing

[@seomadruga]

where's the caption??????

[@DarthNoshitam]

How do I train handstands 30-45 min everyday and not be over trained? I'm so sick of years of not getting results, but even 15 min/day of handstands seems to push my fatigue threshold (admittedly I also do regular weight training). Daniel please help!

[@chaslyy]

Tbh, I train hs 5-6 days a week. It's my main training. Mobility/ flexibility before every hs session. I guess you build the capacity over time

[@firstlast-wg2on]

Well, training daily before your body can handle it is bad, yeah, but even then, some people will respond to lower frequency better than others. For me, I have to hit my chest pretty hard, so there’s a lot of volume, but my calves never need hitting because they’re genetically lucky, so my jump rope 2-3x a week is enough, and I only do that for maybe 10-15 minutes. Please experiment, however if you’re training every day, then you have to sacrifice those 30-45 minutes to maybe shorter workouts, less intense ones too. Perhaps it’d better for you to consider that the progressions you’re using are simply too difficult. A lot of the time, I’m guilty of this, we tend to pick the most fun progression that we can sort of do, but will ultimately cost longer term. When I started training planche I could tuck right away, but the form needed huge amounts of work, and my entire chain (wrists, scapula, shoulders, traps, etc.) needed to be tightened and controlled. Even when I was greasing the groove doing tuck planche I made so much more progress when I just cut down to a few sets of low reps planche leans. Also, if you’re working out daily, and you’re trying to hit handstands, then you don’t want to treat it like a bodybuilding program. I wouldn’t try a program shoulder press or any push day alongside handstand training, because you will inevitably overexert yourself if you’re training hard enough.

[@thanksgivingh6185]

stick with 15 if thats comfortable with you. take into account this guy is a professional circus performer doing all kinds of variations.. if your goal is just a basic handstand 15 minutes 5 times a week or however you find convenient/comfortable is more than enough.

[@toscadonna]

What’s your diet like? Just eat meat and animal fat, and you’ll recover much more quickly.

[@DarthNoshitam]

@@toscadonna I think many experts would say the opposite (i.e., you need carbs to replenish glycogen), but I am already on the carnivore end of keto anyways

imho these dudes are the closest thing to Shaolin Monks without having been raised in The Temple.

[@The_Hybrid_Grubber]

Why didn't you ask him about his diet?

[@CoachBachmann]

My diet is honestly not too special. It can be a bit tricky because you obviously need fuel for training but you can not eat too much before doing handstands as you’ll feel bad getting upside down with a full tummy. I often trained fasted first thing in the morning but I often wouldn’t be as flexible or as strong. A banana with peanut butter right before training often worked well for me ;) currently I have eggs and oatmeal for breakfast. Then I train. Some complex carbs for example sweet potato etc with some lean protein and greens for lunch. A shake in the afternoon (I crave lots of sugar but sugar is horrible for my skin so this is a way to satisfy my hi get haha) for dinner I have a salad with salmon/tuna/ground turkey. Not many carbs at night. This works wel for me at the moment. Depending on my lifestyle or training goals this diet changes quite a bit tho

[@The_Hybrid_Grubber]

@@CoachBachmann I can't find the words to thank you: not only for answering me, but above all for being so complete and detailed in the explanation. You are truly a kind person, as well as a legend of verticalism. I'm Italian and, in the podcast video, I saw that you were in Rome in a circus show. Had I known earlier, I would have flown there immediately to go see you!
