How the get Flexible | Handstand and the Rest Podcast by Coach Bachmann

Welcome to Handstands and the rest THE Podcast where I discuss Handstands, Bodyweight Fitness, Calisthenics and Flexibility training.
In this episode I provide an intro to How Flexibility training will help you improve your athletic performance, quality of life and overall well being. I explain in simple terms what flexibility depends on, which individual limiting points one might encounter and how your body changes and adapts to flexibility training before giving precise and conclusive information on how you can make the most out of every single flexibility session. The goal is to provide you with a wider understanding to how you can stretch goal specific and what exactly you should be doing to train more efficiently.
Got questions or something on your mind that is not covered? Let me know in the comments below so I can include it in future episodes.

I can’t believe this channel doesn’t have more subscribers, this guy really knows his stuff!!

[@SemperFi-kn8zu]

As a teen in High school I checked out your workout, and I will say that it really works through a lot of inflexibility that I have had built due to me being overweight for most of my childhood. But I have progressed quite far on my athletic journey using many different methods, like the ATG circuits for knee and ankle mobility, your workout on hip flexibility (biggest weakness), and in general freeweights and calisthenics. I'm always looking forward to your advice!

one of the great things about those vids is, than when I am at 12min, thinking omg thats so great and usefull information, looking at the record and realizing there are about 15min more to come. Big Thanks!!!

[@andreypashinsky2335]

Sacha, thank you so much for this content. I am learning so much from you.

[@The_Hybrid_Grubber]

You're AMAZING!!!!!!

[@ginos79]

Thanks for starting this podcast. Flexibility is my weak link. I am training flexibility for about 4 years but my progress is super slow. I think I might be doing it wrong :) keen to hear more about upper body as well. I noticed on your site you don’t have an upper body (thoracic, shoulder, etc.) flexibility course. Why is that? See you in Bali!

[@biancacheng]

Hi Coach, could you show us your favorite wrist prehab exercises? I am a sport climber looking to improve hand balancing and flexibility. Looking forward to seeing more of your series! Warm greetings from Barcelona.

[@rugidofit]

Thanks brother I really appreciate it I will also like to share that doing yoga , breathing techniques and stretching the spine is the basis to everything you can imagine , our body it’s the way to now god

[@Anime_world_33384]

Coach you are the best 😎😎 , I Loved this 30 mins of precise info. 😁😁

[@CoachBachmann]

Thx bro! Appreciate the love! What do you wanna hear about next?

[@Anime_world_33384]

Coach I would love to hear more info about PNF stretches from you 😄😄 in the further episode if you upload on KZbin

[@Yoram-Edan]

Hi Coach B Thank you for the wonderful and inspiring podcast What do think about whighted straching ? Can include links to the researches you mentioned ? especially the one about adding muscle units 🙏🙏🙏

[@romanwetter1744]

Hey Coach, nice episode! Looking forward to the next one! I had an accident in December some surgeries thereafter. Now I’m trying to slowly get back into handstands and my flexibility training… so your podcast comes at the right time for me! ❤

[@CoachBachmann]

Oh noooo! Dude what happened? I’m so sorry to hear that!

[@marionhoulet9038]

Personally I d love to learn more about the shoulders flexibility. More specifically shoulders flexion. I have been struggling with it for years. I saw improvement when arms are straight but as soon as I bend the elbows, my shoulders are not flat anymore.

[@dudejoe8390]

Always glad to hear more from you Coach. Excited to see more from your podcasts.

[@CoachBachmann]

Thanks man! Appreciate it!! What do you want to hear about?

[@dudejoe8390]

@@CoachBachmann Dealing with injury, possible road map in handstand training, more how to's. And as with any podcast, stories are a great addition, whether they are yours or someone you bring on to the show. Maybe even a general discussion of "handstand" fitness industry (if there is one). Misconceptions such as "you can only learn when you're a kid", "can't be too big" etc.

[@danis.1576]

i’ve been interested in finding a good podcast on flexibility for so long! thank you for creating this

[@CoachBachmann]

I am so happy to hear this and that more people on KZbin are starting to be interesting in my flexibility talks! More coming soon for shre

[@movinvince]

Great one Coach!! I had a inguinal hernia in the past, I now have a piece of plastic in my body in the lower belly, this makes my Hip bone on one side wants to rotate backwards. This gives a lot of discomfort and pain in the pelvic area, so I have to be careful and gentle with forward bends and pancake like stretches.. also a dide split is kind of tricky.. I am pretty flexible already.. but getting further is a challenge that resulted in a lot of pain in the past... So I am always looking for the right balance here... We will meet in november Coach, looking forward 💪🤸🙏🏼

[@roxanneroxanne7856]

Understanding of hip bone placements and what different pains or discomfort means and how to address it.

[@Anime_world_33384]

11:30 best part ( human adaptablity is insane 😁 )

[@Anime_world_33384]

Diff. between hot water bath and cold water bath ( as i take cold water bath regularly will it cause a problem to my middle split and flexibility )

[@BabbaShahzada-ek5df]

Very nice

[@TCt83067695]

Unrelated but his accent is pretty cool

[@juliehsunflower]

Hi :) how long should you hold a stretch/yoga pose? how many sets and reps are ideal for individual exercises and how any different exercises a day (push ups, pull ups etc.) thank you for this! I started trying to learn a handstand about two months ago and I’ve plateaued. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I am also a runner and have found I’ve felt so much better with the leg stretches that you use for handstand training.

[@CoachBachmann]

So happy to hear that I am able to help! I’ll definitely include those for future episodes! Thank you for that!

[@user-fm9ik2xx6n]

When will there be some new videos and especially a new episode of this podcast?

[@Anime_world_33384]

Question :- Does sleep help in recovery of sore muscle ??

[@CoachBachmann]

I am planning a big recovery episode soon but short answer: YES! Sleep is a game changer for recovery! How much exactly you need is highly individual but aiming for a solid 8h and adjusting from there is a good starting point!

[@rasheed292321]

Hi Coach Bachmann, What is the best schedule when combine it with calisthenics, is it ok to be the same day? Best wishes.

[@CoachBachmann]

Hey! I can be highly beneficial to do both in the same time. Stretching your hamstrings and Lars before training handstands can make it easier to balance and to get up for example. Generally speaking it is safe to stretch and strength train with calisthenics in the same day. Just in case you are using very heavy weights for your legs I would recommend not doing deeper stretches on that same day

[@Anime_world_33384]

12:09 Does that 2pm - 4pm span of time really efficient ( I will surely try it )

[@CoachBachmann]

This is of course also highly individual from athlete to athlete but for most 2-4pm is the best time!

[@kevinsanchez-wr9vm]

What sort of anatomical differences make flexibility easy or difficult from one person to the next?

[@user-hb2wk3hw3q]

At side split or middle split is it cheating when you have your toes pointed up?

[@AlainLeon]

How can we get ready for flexibility training when we have to train early in the morning?

[@CoachBachmann]

If I have to train in the morning I run outside for warm up. High intensity intervals or just sprints in general will kick start your system plus the extra oxygen from being outside will help you wake your mind and body up faster

[@db6517]

Hey coach Bachmann. Signed up for the flexibility routines but haven't received an email.

[@CoachBachmann]

Oh that’s strange! Did you check your spam folder? Shoot me an email to [e-mail] and I’ll look into it

[@db6517]

@@CoachBachmann done that. Sent you an email. Thanks

[@Talhasarwar47]

My biggest goal is to get front splits all the way down. I am 4 inches above. I can do middle split so easily but front split on both sides really sucks.

[@CoachBachmann]

Funny enough I was at the studio recording a front split follow along workout just yesterday!

[@Talhasarwar47]

@@CoachBachmann it means I am Lucky to have this routine😍

[@andrzejpalak863]

Hi, me and my gf signed for the plan but we didn't get it yet, why would it be?

[@andrzejpalak863]

Great video btw. I would like to see a full video about flexibility for handstands

[@CoachBachmann]

Hey. Strange. Sometimes the emails take a little while to send out and sometimes they go into spam. Wanna shoot me an email to [e-mail] and I’ll send it out manually

[@AmeliaCrafter]

Why am I flexible in all joints of my body but I can't do straddle splits? 😢

[@CoachBachmann]

Well. Difficult to say whats going on without actually seeing your splits but Have you tried to actually consistently train for your straddle? If you are used to simply being flexible it might be possible you have never experienced getting flexible?!

[@AmeliaCrafter]

Yes, i have never started a consistent training on it because of how difficult it results to me to do it (which is exactly why i should do it right? 😅) thanks for your repply!
