Handstand Against The Wall Progression | Learn the Handstand! (Step 3)

[@michaelcolbourn6719]

I'm struggling with the confidence to kick hard enough to get upside down...

[@MinusTheGym]

Michael Colbourn I did too. It took me some time. Keep consistent with your practice and you'll gradually see improvement. Continue working on frog stand, head stand and pike push-ups, too. The more strength you build in the wrists, forearms and shoulder girdle, the more confidence you'll have to hold yourself upside down on the wall. Also, hip mobility can really hold you back if you're struggling to raise a leg up behind you, so you may want to work on your hip mobility too if you feel tight in the hamstring/groin area when kicking up.

[@bachnguyen3296]

@@MinusTheGym bro this is exactly what im looking for, i actually gave up practicing handstand kick up 2 or 3 months ago and started training my shoulders with weights because i cant kick high enough to the wall

[@vivekveer3272]

None of the video on youtube actually says how hard it is to kick up in the first place. It's not about strength, it's just scary. I just got my 1st kick up today and that's why I'm on this video.

[@nore3]

@@vivekveer3272 I have been terrified of breaking my neck my whole life, I have never even dared to do a basic forward roll, too scared and I don't play horror games because I'm scared to fall over and break my neck from a jump scare - but!! Even I was able to master the kick up against a wall. Today I kicked up without the wall, ready to fall over, but instead I stood on my hands straight up for five seconds! xD

[@gaiwerevghwheve6797]

If your able to do it once the fear goes away

[@derNachbar97]

After practicing the Kick-up I began to realize that: 1. It's really not that hard as I thought it would be and 2. It's very much about practice and muscle-memory. I can't wait to master this move.

[@stn6408]

Yeah I learned the headstand in 2 days these things are just about practice and technique we can learn them if we are persistent

[@Bangandthedirtisgone]

The kick up; the fear is real! I wonder if it’s better to first work on pike push-ups then graduate onto walking up the wall chest facing it in order to gain the confidence that your strength will hold you upside down

[@seanmcgrady8688]

This handstand series is seriously good. You do a fantastic job of keeping your advice simple, demonstrating progressions, and the tips are the best part for overcoming a plateau. Please continue this KZbin hobby, and if you're inclined, I hope you add more athletic ring content.

This handstand progression is amazing!! I train regularly but I can't do a proper handstand, with this I am working on the frog stand and wall stand and I feel confident I will improve enough to get to the handstand. You have one of the best fitness channels I have seen.

So, have you made it? Handstand - you made it? Brag about it, now ;-) I'm going to give this routine a try too. Good luck

[@flashgordon6510]

I did a lovely wall handstand this morning, and then had no idea how to get out of it. So I tried to walk forward on my hands and totally smashed my face - fortunately, I had put a mat down. :(

[@flashgordon6510]

An update! Handstands are going MUCH better for me! I'm able to get up on the wall in either direction, chest to wall or kick up. Working on balance now.

[@hetpatel1250]

Thank you for this. I've been wanting to progress towards handstands for a long time. Ive been practicing frogstands for a month now. Feeling much more confident at my shoulders and wrists. After watching this video, i am now practicing chest to wall handstand and walking in and out of it on hands. Its been only 4 days since and im already feeling much more confident doing it. Still afraid to do the kick up, maybe ill progress to that after a month of getting confortable with the current routine. Once again, thanks alot man. :)

[@abkonk]

JUST DID IT!! Found your channel this morning and started with the frogstand. I knew how to do it already but the form you had made it easier to go to the headstand progression. I did the headstand and then I just did a wall handstand, took my feet off the wall for a little and was doing a full handstand!!!

[@dexproxx]

This video helped me to achieve my first wall handstand push up! Your content is awesome!!!

[@normanhuefner9048]

This video was just what I was looking for. Great job, thanks!

[@kooshaalf7240]

So i have been practicing these handstand exercises along with some other exercises i have finally reached this stage after one month and half his advice is amazing i can hold the frogstand roughly about 17s and my headstand is pretty good i can hold that for 10 s as well im gonna keep on practicing these two but from tomorrow im gonna start kicking up and try work on thus step to when i master it i will go for the next step thanks man your videos are awesome and helpful god bless you and your family love from 🇮🇷

[@AkalitosZephyr-qv1xe]

Bro, I watched this like twice after trying for 3 weeks and on my second try I got it. Thanks so much!

[@haris9157]

This is really underrated channel you deserve more subscribers man. I was scared of going into wall handstand but when I watched your video I tried it and got it. My arms were too far from the wall and I was kicking with both legs at the same time. Tip about pressing the floor with the hands while holding it is also great. I can hold it more than twenty seconds. Now is time to start kicking off the wall and find the balance. My advice for everyone would be to try this first on wall that is near bed.

[@mylosovich24]

This mans entire upload list is GOLD! Thank you so much big guy :)

[@nore3]

Big thank you! I just tried again the falling exercise and before I knew it, I was handstanding with no wall (or tree in my case) for five seconds! I have been able to handstand against the wall for 7 years now, and I have been trying the free handstand every now and then since then - trying different videos - but your tip on "focus on falling, succeed by accident" is the only thing that worked!! Amazing, can't wait to add lore seconds!

[@WayneInnator]

After watching this video did my first back to wall in about an hour 👍 great video

[@jiggyasagupta4327]

i am stuggling with that hop up to the wall too.. would you share any advises

[@MinusTheGym]

Jiggyasa Gupta it's hard to be precise without seeing your form but I'll try to help. Make sure you have decent hip extension mobility for starters. The higher you can raise a leg backwards, the easier it will be to get yourself inverted. Also, the leg that stays on the ground needs to have a certain level of strength to help launch you up. My beginner routine video can help develop that leg strength. If you have the hip mobility and leg strength, then you'll also need to look at your shoulder mobility/strength too. You want to have the ability to raise your arms straight overhead without arching your lower back. The more vertical your arms can be, the easier it will be. And of course, you'll need the straight-arm strength to hold yourself upside down. Regarding the straight-arm strength... work on pike push-ups (hips piked in the air to target shoulder strength) and lock out into full scapular elevation at the top of the movement. That will help a lot. And lastly... practice practice practice! :) It took me a lot of practice kick ups before I was able to get upside down against the wall, and even when I did, it was sloppy. The more you practice, the faster you'll get better at it and build the strength. I hope that helps!

[@mohdqadan7018]

[@normanhuefner9048]

I can get to 60 degrees vertical, but really having difficulty walking back the 2 more feet on my hands to the wall because my shoulder fails holding my body weight on one arm. Would it be my serrated anterior that is failing my shoulder? (I can bench press my body weight (175 lbs) and do 15+ pull-ups). If my SA is the issue, I assume I should work on holding one arm planks and then working on them on a decline? Any suggestions or input?

[@QntraMiiys]

I think you just have to practice till your shoulders are strong enough

[@MinusTheGym]

Norman Huefner there are a lot of muscles in play here with straight-arm strength (triceps, biceps, deltoids, traps, etc.) but yeah, the serratus anterior is the prime mover to hold you up properly. Working on single-arm planks will help, but I also recommend working on building overhead pressing strength in a pike. For example, try holding a downward dog yoga pose and really elevate the scapulae while doing so, meaning press hard into the floor so your shoulders are right by your ears. That scapular elevation comes from the serratus. Work on building that up along with the planks. And once you can hold a good pike (down dog) with your scapulae elevated, try doing it with your feet elevated so you're on a steeper angle. This all will help you get those last couple feet in towards the wall.

[@normanhuefner9048]

Besty Music thanks! I stopped tracking my max hold after I reached 34 seconds. I bet my record is still somewhere around 40s. And handstands use the whole body. It requires total body tension, great shoulder mobility and a strong core.

I'm used to being inverted but I just can't do it anymore. I keep over balancing and landing on my head. Years of attempts, but I fall every time.

[@MinusTheGym]

Check out the video for step 4 in my handstand playlist. I think it’s called “how to balance a handstand” or something like that. I explain 3 queues: push, tilt, point. It creates total body tension. Most of my students have excelled at handstands after learning total body tension.

[@nadrahome]

Im like you, but finally got over that fear by doing a HEADstand not a handstand. A headstand is amazing to learn a handatand because it teaches you to be upside down without fear. Do it behind the wall and just do it. Once you full commit itll be much easier and not so scary

You are too close to the wall, try moving a bit farther out while still having enough span for your legs to touch the wall if you lose balance.

How do you safely bail out of a chest to wall hand stand?? I don't get that close to the wall out of dear that I'll fall backwards.

[@MinusTheGym]

Kilgore Trout it's kind of the same as a bail out for a freestanding handstand. Turn/twist and drop the legs (feet first) to the floor at your side. You have to push off with the arm opposite of the side you're falling/twisting towards. It's like half a cartwheel, basically.

For the chest to wall handstand, i can get very close but my hands don't go all the way back because my legs kinda curl forward and I lose my balance. Any tips?
