How to Handstand the RIGHT WAY (Beginner Full Routine)

[@Strengthside]

Intermediate Routine is out! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4DWg2CnncqKopI Who’s going to unlock that handstand this year ? ✋👍🏼💪

[@jonatanfernandes2542]

Not me , but still cool to watch!!! Peace.

[@trippz444]

Me 😩

[@danniseliger5172]

I hope so but in my 5th decade progres is slower than it used to be :) ... but patience is better than it used to be too

[@parsonstj]

I'm in.

[@sunvavachi]

I would like to try this!

[@aaronstratten9594]

Age 50 and have set physical goals annually “for my birthday.” Last year went from 0 to 10 pull ups. This year I think it’s gonna be the hand stand. Total beginner, and months to work on it.

[@hunlevistube]

If last year you were at zero pushups and now you are at ten, i don't think you should jump straight onto the handstand.

[@Strengthside]

Yeah man I like the ambition 🤪💪

[@robertUK]

@@hunlevistube He talked about PULL UPS I'm sure he can easily do more than 10 pushups.........

[@hunlevistube]

@@robertUK yeah, my bad, although how can you be sure avout a performance of an unknown person from youtube, i don't know. I didn't mean anything bad woth my comment btw, but gradual intensity is key for long term success in human health and to minimise risk of injury. I wish good luck to everyone, i love practicing my handstand and being able to hold a straight HS stable for a minute feels great.

[@robertUK]

@@hunlevistube No hard feelings my friend, well I have assumed on base of my experience that pull ups are much harder. However I shouldn't use term "sure" as pulling and pushing power are not fully "related". I can do 30 pushups but only 10 pull ups from dead hang.

[@TrishCanyon8]

Age 71. I'm working on this. I'm retired and it looks like a fun activity.😂❤😂❤

I’m almost 69 I’m at the feet up the wall stage - but haven’t been doing it regularly but that’s going to change now as I want to tick a handstand off my list before I’m 70. Love your work👍👍👍

How did it go? 😊

[@aus919]

She is still handstand can't answer

[@ohno6955]

@hillarywilkins7395 did you make it? I am 70 and going to give it a try!

[@hillarywilkins7395]

@@ohno6955 Almost 71 now recently diagnosed with end stage heart failure - but do my handstands against the wall every week. Can’t do one away from a wall but that’s ok cause I have bigger issues to contend with now . But I am much stronger and easily walk on my hands away from and back to the wall . I’m still lifting heavy 4x a week so that surely all helps - I’ll keep on until I’m too sick to do otherwise.👍👍

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I like how Josh kept referring to "Josh in the field." I appreciate a good sense of humor. And I like that he included wrist stretching. I think sometimes that gets overlooked because people just want to accomplish a handstand.

[@Strengthside]

I was really honored to be having the other Josh help me out.

[@EmorettaRobinson]

@@Strengthside he is very knowledgeable. 🙂

[@kethelowazah2393]

Im new here...and I honestly thought 'Josh in the field' was another person(a twin)...so came here to see comments

Hanging is what for handstands?

[@lukejackson3901]

Really can’t say enough good things about this channel, so uplifting, so accessible, genuine teaching and valor here

[@joannaschmidt4501]

I appreciate that you’ve released a video for total beginners! I’ve looked up a couple “how-to-handstand” videos in the past and the first progressions are always beyond me... so finding this was really helpful (And way less depressing 😆)! Also, I appreciate that you care about our back and wrist health 👍🏻

[@Matias-gf3ed]

One little tip that worked for me: when you look at the ground when standing upside down, try to keep your head as straight as possible (aligned with your body) while looking at the ground between your hands. For me it was hard to tell how straight my back and hips were when doing my handstand or how to fix that. By just doing this, it forced my back to also straighten. Good luck to everyone attempting the handstand. Great vid!

[@Electronite1978]

Used to be able to handstand as a teenager. Took a longer brake 25 years and 30 kg and tested again. Immediately noticed a lot of pain in my shoulders. Lesson learned remember to strengthen your shoulders if you are going to do this ;)

[@mayaaurkaya]

I went to the park today where a teenage guy was doing a handstand. I wanted to approach him and ask for the basics but then didn’t. And now you come up with something that I have been so looking forward to. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@Strengthside]

Sweet man! Take your time with it. It’s worth the handstand journey

[@caroldurand6803]

Google is watching you 😅😅

[@man_arky]

@@caroldurand6803 listening in more likely

[@returnoftheredeye]

That's a whole lotta detail and enthusiasm to put into a free video. Thanks man.

[@esmeraldarios3234]

Love the way you explained every step and encouraged us to try it but slowly and that’s important ❤

[@cafekkoXoX]

I love this channel. I have only started with calisthenics this year and as a female who has had the motto "Every day is leg day!" I find everything super hard as I have jello arms. The progressions here are soooo helpful. Thank you soooo much!!!

[@Schlauigkeit]

Hey man, really really great tutorial. I have a gymnastics background and even gymnastics couches sometimes forget how important shoulder mobility is. I found myself often asking myself: "Is he going to adress this and that as well??" You always did! Covered all bases. I may still have a mini mini tip for the more advanced stuff you tried later in the video. If you start doing things like press to handstands from a pseudo-planche position: try actively pressing your feet and knees together. Gymnasts not only to do that to avoid deductions but the added tension makes moving your legs in the air much easier as more force you put in gets to the desired joint. Keep doing what you are doing. Great video!

[@lockenkopfjulie]

Def helps a lot! We were actually practicing that with our skills coach (I’m occasionally joining a really nice class here in berlin) by trying to hold small, flat piece of rubber tile with our heels (you would have a partner assisting you with that).

[@danniseliger5172]

What the?? I was just starting my handstand practice right now and this pops into my feed

[@Strengthside]

Sick. Hope it helps!

[@donwetherell8738]

I’m 58 and been wanting to do the handstand for a while, best video I’ve seen on preparing for handstand. I’m going to go for it now. You’ve inspired me!

[@lockenkopfjulie]

Curious to hear how it’s going!

[@everythingsflatunderthesun920]

I'm rockin' it for a month now and this will help me get to the next level. Thank you.

[@felisha7293]

Josh, LOVE LOVE your video. I'm 2 yrs into my handstand journey and it is slow, but coming along. I am a senior citizen, but since retirement, I have devoted myself to flexibility and strength! Therefore your videos are exactly what I want and need. I have hit 28 seconds in my HS hold, although I am sorry to say the consistency is still not there in my kick up. I am improving and opening the shoulders but my line is not yet where I want it to be. It's like once I hit the spot I feel I can hold it, but I am only 20% successful in hitting that spot! I admire your strength and flexibility! You are my hero and so good at explaining the how and why! Thanks for your help in my journey!

[@Strengthside]

28 seconds is incredible and inspiring. I'm happy I can be of any help in your journey :) The straight line can get a little fickle at times... don't let it get you too stressed. A handstand is a handstand no matter how straight!

[@sparra8519]

Can’t wait for the intermediate version!!!!!

[@gqkokidko]

This is the ABSOLUTE BEST approach that I have seen to achieve the handstand and I’ve seen quite a few. I’ve never been successful with the handstand and it makes sense with my tight shoulders and the fact that I’ve skipped right to attempting the handstand against the wall, chest facing away from the wall.

[@Maxxeemoose]

Thank you so much Josh, this video made a subscriber out of me!! I’ve been practicing all of these exercises that you displayed in this and prior videos for several weeks now and my handstands are getting progressively better. I seriously can’t express enough gratitude!! Keep up the awesome content 10/10 would recommend 🤙🏼

[@Strengthside]

That’s sweet man keep going!

[@jimmahgee]

Just want to say thank you for sharing this instructional content with good vibes! One thing that would be useful is an indication of how often to do the routine (I mean I'm guessing this is a 2-3x per week thing for most people, but could be wrong)

[@thestereokid6073]

wow, just realized that I've been doing handstands for probably 16 years. I remember starting out with my older brother on the lawn learning how to twist out instead of falling and trying to get a 2-second stand. Then in high school I broke my leg twice doing dumb shiz like parkour and downhill mountain biking - so anyways, I had a lot of time on my hands and that's when I got my first 8-second hold. I remember it clearly, that's when I knew I could do a good handstand. Quickly progressing to 45 seconds but maxing out there. Getting to today, as someone who can hold a stand for over a minute, this routine is still beneficial for me since I've been struggling with wrist and shoulder injuries over the last three years (thanks to skating- damn) and need to encourage as much strength in those critical areas. Also, rebuilding the foundation of my handstand is necessary to move to an advanced level where I can do maneuvers like 'crow to handstand' or handstand pushups. Really keen for the intermediate level routine. Also, I'm wearing more protective gear these days.

[@TheMovementAthlete]

What drives you to push yourself to new limits? Your relentless pursuit of progress and improvement is truly impressive.

[@garethmarshall6574]

Falling should be part of the beginner stages of this video. I highly recommend adding in a "what to do when you fall while in a handstand" and how to counter/cousin the fall. Not everyone can manipulate or hold these advanced positions even with some strength or mobility. All in all, great video I like the information mentioned to help progress through a handstand

[@unitG19]

Literally texted my buddy the other day that we should start training the handstand together and you make this video haha. Lots of mobility work for me since I been gaming for the last 20 years and just getting back into the gym again. Really solid video though and one day I'll be watching your intermediate guide.

[@Strengthside]

Awesome man. The handstand actually helped me work through a lot of my mobility issues. It’s a worthwhile pursuit.

[@haeppyday]

This is actually 100% beginner friendly and also useful for intermediates. Thank you! The intermediate video would be cool!

[@mirelvasile288]

Nice, you should try to edit the video into a "follow along" version. A bunch of people (including me) would watch that video everyday ;) Btw, you're good at this keep it up!

[@julianflavell518]

you got me my first 2020 muscle up and now I'm going for the 2022 handstand. always great videos done in such a great manner.....thanks for the inspiration.

[@Strengthside]

It's a good year for a handstand! You got it

[@fool3609]

I think you stressing the importance of patience is really great I’ve honestly gotten frustrated with learning the handstand many times as someone who, awesome vid thank you

[@theobgshow]

I don't even want to handstand, but watched the entire video because it is one of the best educational and most calming videos I've seen. Thank you

[@jjslimjj]

Josh, this is fantastic but we need the tip #4. :) I believe that the main mental block if the fear of falling down and getting injured. When I was learning the headstand, my teacher started from teaching me what to do if I start falling down, how to do it supersafely. The moment I learnt it, headstand has become my fav inversion. Oh, and thank you for all your posts!

[@keithwhite5196]

I’m 54 and get stronger all the time by following you. Never did a hand stand but starting today. I’ll report back thx

[@carolinaop5641]

I started with crow, then tripod headtstand with hands, and then with forearms. I am not great at them but I can do them without a wall, so it is a great achievement for me. So I am now on handstands and this video is very good. Warm up, initial tips and a bit of progress. Thank you for this. I am now practising every day after my workout, when I am warm and stretchy, and I am at the later stage of this video, doing the handstand with the wall behind me. I am definitely going to try with the wall in front of me and see how I get on. I was working on holding it for as long as possible. I have a bad shoulder, but can still do it, so I am happy. If there is a progression from this one in the future, I'll be happy to watch it and try. By then, I probably have nailed this part 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Thank you for the video and advice.

[@juli_von.perponcher4672]

I started to learn the Handstant arround 5 Months ago and can hold it now free standing for +- 20 seconds:) One thing that helped me very much, is not to kick up and immediately putting your feet together but kicking up with kinda "spread" feet until you are in the "sweet spot" of balance and then putting your feet together for perfect form

[@Acunza]

Is KZbin reading my mind or listening into my spoken words?! This is something I have recently thought to myself that I would love to do, and then appears your well composed video providing these steps, which I will be sure to follow through with. Thank you!

[@gelarehzahraie9834]

I feel extreemly luky to find these videos in youtube and started as a free beginner. I am 45 years old swimmer female from Iran. Therefore I have no access to your programs.so, God bless you for these free videos. They helped me alot last2 weaks.

First of all I wanted to say I love you and I think we should get married! With that out of the way, I am so incredibly happy that I found you. I've had a massive change in the way I feel and experience life around me, and you are probably the main inspirations. You're the guy that put my feet back in nature, get the mud in my clothes, slow me down, changed the way I exercise (now I funpeacercise) and helped me hang out a lot with the my inner kid. I feel happier, sexier, healthier, freshkier.... Thank you! Thank you for being special, and for all those beautiful beaming vibes you send straight to my core.

You guys are the best! I have grew up in a healthy family spending my childhood in the woods and competing in sports such as track and rock climbing.

This is a brilliant beginners guid. Weakness I have are shoulder mobility and strait arm pushing strength. However, this is something I am committed to.

[@Darkmouse20001]

Nailed it yet?

[@MYJOURNEYWITHSANTAMUERTE]

Awesome video! I'm so glad someone addressed the wrists.

[@greenmedic88]

Chest Facing Wall technique was a game changer after trying the back to the wall technique multiple times over the years (or just not committed enough). It's far easier to build up strength, endurance and become acclimated to the inverted position, which provides a clear line of sight for progression with time and effort. Entertained by the end video practice; your neighbors must love you.

[@joaorocha2242]

2nd time visiting this routine and already feel much better on my hands, this wil definitely take me to the next level

[@Scott-xo1el]

I'm ready! to unlock my handstand. Been using rings about a year (watching your vids) and walking up wall (chest to wall).6 to 8 reps on handstand pushup against wall. I'm 57...want to be inverted and walking by 60. 2.5 years to go.

68 y/o here and in the category of occasionally being able to hold a free standing handstand. good point about chest to wall practice. i do most of my training kicking up back to wall, i'll have to switch some focus to the chest to wall to get everything lined up better.

[@thewondeboerfullife]

I've been trying to get that handstand for a long time... not afraid to kick up, but clearly need more strength as I can't hold my handstand for very long... so going to work on your beginner for a bit, then move to the all exciting intermediate! Thanks so much!

54 and suffered shattered radius and fractured ulna on XMAS. SO FRUSTRATING trying to get back to square 1….ie what I could do BEFORE the accident. Handstands and yoga arm balances seem out of reach, hopefully not permanently. I had a second surgery to remove the plate and 9 screws (YES, titanium is never 100% titanium so can cause reactions as was my case. Swelling and pain were terrible 4 months post initial surgery). Best advice, never break a bone, especially when you are older. Often the beginning of the end
