The tuck handstand is the hardest shape no one needs but everyone needs to lean.
The tuck handstand shows that you have mastered a significant portion of your journey towards upside down dominance. The tuck handstand looks cool, will help you get rid of your banana handstand and might even be the key to the press to handstand.
Mastering the tuck shows that you have reached a level of control, coordination and active mobility equivalent to the level needed when wanting to learn the press to handstand or the one arm handstands. Yet, whilst neither of those goals depend on you being able to tuck, I have yet to come across anyone who learned advanced goals without learning to tuck handstand first.

I have been waiting for this for so long! I just purchased the tuck handstand program! I am ready to take the handstand off the wall!

[@CoachBachmann]

LOVE hearing that! Thank you! Let me know how the collection is working out for you!

[@user-dc3in2ev1p]

Thank you ❤ but how do you build the compression strength in order to jump

[@CandiceWhite-bo4nr]

Never heard it explained like this before. TY!!! Tuck here I come!

[@CoachBachmann]

My pleasure! Glad I can help. Keep us posted about your progress!

[@Colin-pg2su]

Theeeeeeeeeee BEST or BEAST either works 💪⚖💪

[@CoachBachmann]

haha I appreciate it! Thank you!!

[@stevendeen4391]

Hey Coach, I love your videos and pass along all your content to my friends. If possible, could you make a video and playlist consisting of the exercises. Most people don’t have the foundation for these basic moves. When you break down helper exercises, that what separates you from other KZbinrs. Keep up with the amazing work.

[@CoachBachmann]

Hey! Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it! I just wanna make sure I understand you correctly. When you say “consisting of the exercises”. Which exercises do you refer to?

[@18Hands]

Wow, this is really PACKED with information!!!!

[@CoachBachmann]

Yeah I am trying to leave no question un-answered. What do you think the next video should be about?

[@tyroniebalonie]

The background music was too loud and distracting...

[@CoachBachmann]

okay. thanks for this feedback. Unfortunately I can not change it for this video anymore but I will make sure to tone it down for the next one!

[@tyroniebalonie]

@@CoachBachmann No problem. Thanks for taking the criticism well! I only said it to help :) It could just be me so it might pay to check if there are other comments about it. I do have tinnitus and my hearing is a bit more sensitive these days..

[@user-en3sf9ji2y]

When I breathe I fall out of the line. It takes so much concentration to keep myself upside down and but I mostly find myself sinking when I breathe. Any tips on how to breathe and still keep urself intact?

[@CoachBachmann]

You have to practice exactly this. You should be able to separate your breathing from your shoulder push completely. Keep your breaths shallow and make sure they do not influence anything else in your body. Everyone struggles with this at first but I KNOW that you will get there!

[@user-en3sf9ji2y]

Is it ok to take long pauses between the hs sets? coz I feel like it takes so much concentration and tension that I have to breathe and regain my concentration power after every set

[@CoachBachmann]

So this is a tricky question to answer. In a regular technical training session I recommend resting long enough so the pump especially in the forearms goes away yet short enough to stay warm. I would recommend to do a couple sessions a month where you work on cutting your rest time short to push yourself. This could for example be the last workout of the week. As you get more tired towards the end of these more intense sessions work exclusively on the wall to cut balance and "luck" out of the equation. Those days you really want to focus just on your stamina!

[@user-en3sf9ji2y]

Is it normal that u get really conservative with ur practicing place I mean if I change the place where I practice it immediately affects my ability to control and I need time to adjust?

[@CoachBachmann]

100% I used to force myself at least 1x per week to go train somewhere completely different than from where I am used to. This is super hard at first but does get easier eventually. You can start as simple as facing the other direction before jumping up into the handstand. That alone can really mess with you!

[@alexdenk1130]

Handbalancing newbie here... Do you have to be able to do a freestanding handstand in order to to a tuck handstand? Thanks for the great content!

[@CoachBachmann]

Hey Handbalancing newbie! Thanks for checking out my video! It depends a bit. If you have flexible hips and shoulders than the tuck handstand is easier than the straight handstand. If you are less mobile than the straight, legs together handstand is easier! That being said, at the end of the day the tuck handstand is a variation of the freestanding handstand. I would strongly recommend using wall and box variations to learn the freestanding handstand! Let me know if this is clear or if you have any other question / follow up questions.

[@alexdenk1130]

@@CoachBachmann Thanks Coach! I'm quite mobile/flexible, so that will be a consideration!

[@CoachBachmann]

@@alexdenk1130 have a Look through my shorts. I made one about there being “2 types of handstand athletes”. I think that one will be quite beneficial for you to study. Alternatively also here in written form in my knowledge base: courses.coachbachmann.com/2-types-of-handstand-athletes/

[@user-en3sf9ji2y]

The box exercises r terryfing to me. I perfer take off from the wall but with box I don't feel safe if I fall. And the thing with hs is (at least for me) that hs go much deeper than other exercise. U have to work on mental stability, concentration, fear, koordination, I still feel kind of out of control although I've been practicing for a long time and I know I don't lack in flexibility, strength nor concistancy or dedocation. But stilllllllll

[@CoachBachmann]

You could consider placing a thick yoga mat over the box to soften the blow in case you fall back. If the box feels extra challenging to you it might be good to invest extra time here! Get good at the things that scare you until they are easy :)

[@nguyennguyenminhae233]

can you train backbend ?

[@CoachBachmann]

I absolutely train backbends :) so should you! I will make more videos on it in the future!
