How to Bail a Handstand on Blocks, Paralettes, and Canes

[@r.b.4611]

I've noticed a lot of people have trouble bailing out of handstands and find it frightening. Which is crazy IMO but they just don't train it. So good video topic.

Thanks for the vid. I can bail from a regular handstand . However I m stuck w the handstand blocks. Gotta give this a go !!!

Yuri, your shoulders and arms are always so nicely packed underneath. How about a video for us guys who want to learn a handstand and can't make their shoulders do that? I can't even stand with my back against the wall and bring my arms straight up over my head and touch the wall... and so the elbows flair out badly when I'm trying my handstands. What's the best daily stretch to make this happen? I feel like my progress could be so much further if the shoulder mobility was there. Not going to give up though! It's my new goal! :)

Life would be really simple if I could just give you the one magical stretch to rule them all and fix your handstands. It's a lot more complicated than that, and shoulders are more complicated than that I've seen good results with this sequence, though you still have to specifically apply it to your handstands eventually vimeo.com/ondemand/bandedshouldersequence

@@yurimar $5.00?! Dude.. how are you ever going to feed yourself charging those kinds of prices! Definitely grabbing this when I get home later. Thanks for the reply!

[@yurimar]

@@dudleydooright haha I know I've thought about that. something about being an idealist and not holding the information hostage for a high price...

Hey Yuri ! Awesome video. Can you kindly let me know if you have any recommendation in matter of handstand canes for beginners? Any brand or any specific details to consider when choosing it? Thank you much !

Congratulations!

On long p-bars, do you always bail to the side, also when underbalancing? Or can you safely descend into a dip support? I am trying to learn the p-bar swing to handstand.

[@yurimar]

no, only when over balancing. Underbalance you should be able to lower down into a support

[@vladimir193]

Great, thanks ! Next time, rings and parallel bars ? :D

[@suleman9784]

Vladimír yeah I would love to see the bailing on low rings. I have failed too often and landed not on my feet

[@yurimar]

I don't have access to full pbars, and rings I'll see what I can do

[@matteoposi9583]

Im not practicing handstand alone
