ONE ARM HANDSTAND | 5 things I wish I knew | OAHS Tutorial video with tips

[@FireByJason]

I am in the "ego lifting" phase and still realizing the "time" aspect. Thank you for the inspiration video and I'll check into your OAHS course when it comes out.

[@Sondre_Berg]

In the meantime, good luck brother🙌

Go for it bro! Consistency is key

Congratulations brothers ✌ keep it up never give up

[@flosw5229]

Bro Realtalk this is one of the best OAHS Videos out there.A lot of things you said I made the same experience like ego lifting and not leaning right...and the tip of the split really makes me now focus on streching.

[@Sondre_Berg]

Appreciate it bro!! I’m glad your OAHS is coming along. Good luck :)

[@frederikwoloszynski7487]

First KZbin video on OAHS that actually was useful! Helped me a lot, especially on the straddle and lean tip. Well done 👌🏼🙏🏼

[@Sondre_Berg]

Happy II could be of help :)

[@FireByJason]

I agree! Actually useful. I like that you are not afraid to tell it like it is which is rare for some reason.

[@florianpauli8581]

Thanks for that honest video, especially for the 5th tip. many people say it takes not much time, ofc not for people that are coming from circus. but for normal people without that background it's nice to know that it takes a lot of time, so it keeps the motivation high for many years. greetings flo

[@Sondre_Berg]

You're very welcome. I'm glad you liked the video :)

[@juliuh1300]

I asked a little bit around in the Handbalancing community and everyone said that you don't have to elevate your shoulders to the maximum, just as far as its comfortable. But Great video 💪🏼

[@davidpst]

one of the best tutorials I've seen so far! thank you so much for sharing :)

[@Sondre_Berg]

I happy to help😊 good luck on you OAHS journey! This short tutorial is only anscratch at the surface of the complexity of the OAHS, but I will be providing more in depth information in the future

[@myl1ve945]

After watching 30 OAHS vids... that is the best by far! this "elevate the shoulders" was a frickin lifehack, finally it worked out, that was the most important tip. I am doing handstand since 10 years but that tip made one arm handstand possible:)

[@tshaylatte9502]

Great advices thank you! I’ve been struggling a lot with shoulder rotation

[@Sondre_Berg]

Happy to help :)

[@spacekraftru]

finally true about time, no junk about 21 days, 6 weeks or even 3 months to OAHS. I wish more people were so open about real effort behind such moves

[@maikklassen4648]

I usually don't watch tutorials, specially not this "long", but this was absolutely worth it.

[@leonklausing5844]

Wow, I thank KZbin for recommending this video to me. Honestly I somehow already knew all the tips from experience, but I wasn't 100% sure on them. You clarified my doubts, Thanks man, I appreciated it, you got a new Subscriber.💪💪 The tip of holding it more on the fingers made me notice that I don't do it enough. As I come to one finger I often raise my arm after only 2-3 seconds. Maybe I should try to hold it for 20 Seconds per arm or so.

[@Sondre_Berg]

Appreciate your comment :) Yeah, ego lifting is perhaps the biggest enemy in OAHS training.

[@alfonsodigiorgio8345]

really very useful video, the answers I was looking for in a video,thank you!

[@chriskonu]

These tips help a lot. Especially rushing it is so tempting. However, number 2 is biomechanically wrong. It does not make any sense unless you have his strength. The full straddle position is easier to balance only if you have enough flexibility to remain straight line while being upside down. If feels so easy for him because.. well look at him - He is a fucking "berg". 😅 That can easily trick your perception then. I have read a lot of studies that claim strength compensates way better that technique. Thus, doing number as suggested would mean for somebody who is good at balancing that he has to hold somewhat like a straddle press to handstand position for the entire OA try. I would definitely not recommend that. All the other tips are pure gold! 👍🏼

[@Sondre_Berg]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts🙏 let's agree to disagree on number 2. I think you are missing the point. Having a small pike due to the pelvis tilt is not going to make it considerably harder in terms of strength unless you lack shoulder mobility. The whole reason you want to do this is in order to be able to open your shoulders so your shoulders, elbow and wrist are stacked, and the slight pike is only getting your center of gravity on top of this stack. I do agree that a lot of practice is needed to be comfortable in this position (which i mentioned). This will however, require 1/10th of the time compared to that of going straight for the small straddle or straight legs version. This is at least based on experience for myself and observations of students that I have worked with as well as following a huge amount of people investing their time in learning this awesome skill.

[@HandstandJournal]

My straddle was always a small one because i was always trying to just get my legs to the side, i thought it was a flexibility problem, thank to your tip i was able to do a much wider straddle, really help Thank!!!

[@saladking2370]

I want to do a OAHS not as an ego lift but as a form of meditation. The ability to completely focus on one thing and the process the process that comes with it. To remove oneself from the outside and focus on the within.

[@damentalist4850]

Most useful video on the one arm HS ive come across yet. Ive been working on it for a 2,3 years now and can hold a one arm 10s max but not consistently. I train that skill à lot but i am wondering if i built more muscle, could i not make more progress. The thing is i dont know what exercices i Can do (strength training) that could specifically help for the one arm HS. Does anybody know about such exercices ? Apart from the Hspu (which is extremely helpfull). Thanks

i was doubting my self and my training because it been about 6 month since i started training for it(yes there is progress but not much) but when you said it may take more than a year i felt relief and happiness for a moment 😌😁 small question : is it okay to train for it everyday like regular handstand or take rest in between

[@Sondre_Berg]

Just keep at it and keep motivated! 🙌

[@bmusa555]

Thank u very much ma man. Very good advices!!!

[@someguy2249]

Excellent. Thank you. When doing a 1 arm handstand, should the stomach still be sucked in to stabilize you? And where specifically should the weight be on your hand?

[@Sondre_Berg]

I believe that "sucking in" stomach is a misconception. Some people use it to describe how it looks when your joints are stacked, but I generally experienced that this different from different anamotmies. You should never strive to actually suck in your stomach. When joints are properly stacked you should rather have the sensation of actually being able to relax your abdomen and breathe with ease. Most important when it comes to the OAHS is that you get your hip stacked over your shoulders and elevate your shoulder in order to create stability from there. Weight should be all over your hand and you should eventually get the sensation of tilting your palm, squeezing your fingers and rotating your elbow in order to compensate. In short, your should never feel that your hand is static and your weight at one particular spot. I hope this clarified your question somewhat, but it is extremely difficult you describe in words. And there are so many things to be said about the OAHS😅

I am 4 years in the Handstand Journey... But allot of it's been other calisthenics like the Human Flag , Front/Back lever , Planche , Pistol and Nortic curl. I'm on the press Handstand now. I can press HS but it's not super clean yet. I really want the one arm HS but I know I'm not ready yet. I'm 44 and worried I'll run out of time. But every time I try to advance my Wrist or shoulder gets somewhat injured. So I know I'm not ready. So I'm just focusing on the Press Handstand , VSit and planche. I can Human Flag pretty clean but jumping to a 1 arm HS from even that strength is HUGE. Jump. It's crazy hard advanced that skill is

[@Tomas-hn2tx]

Ive been doing calisthenics for 4 years, i progressed the most in handstand doing 6-8 sets before every workout, it may fatigue your shoulders at first, but you get used to it. Just be careful not to overtrain it or getting injured.

[@Sondre_Berg]

[@devinthado0od]

Such a great video! I have a couple questions, 1) what is your current height and weight? And 2) you spoke of intermediate steps between being able to attain a 20-30 second long handstand and being able to do the OAHS. Do you have any specific examples of what that might include? I find myself right now at that place of doing consistent 20-30 second handstands and would love to start working my way towards OAHS, thanks in advance!

[@Sondre_Berg]

I’m glad you liked the video :) Yeah, there is literally a world between 😅 It’s all about getting full control over you handstand. Doing shapes, leg movements, learning to control pelvis, spine and all the other joints while doing handstands. It also helps a great deal you be able to properly stack joints on top of each other. Attaining strength, both shoulder, core (spinal control related strength) and wrist can also help a great deal in order to “cheat” your first few seconds (not really cheating, but you want to obtain an efficient position eventually which might come faster if you’re able to get some muscle help at the beginning).

[@devinthado0od]

@@Sondre_Berg awesome, yeah I’ve been transitioning into shapes so I will just keep on working on that and improving form with joint stacking. Yeah I was curious about your height/weight because it looks like you can throw into handstands so effortlessly so I was just curious. Thanks again and I’ll keep being patient and doing the work until I get the OAHS!

[@Sondre_Berg]

@@devinthado0od I’m 179cm and 82kg. So I’m not exactly light weight, but no giant either😅

[@meta4907]

Question, my hip turns when I use one hand. Is it supposed to be like that? And if not how can I fix it?

[@Sondre_Berg]

No it's not supposed to, but it's the most common problem in OAHS. You practicenit best by realizing it, and being aware of it and then practice super hard for a cery long time to avoid it😆 focusing on pushing out your shoulders also help as well as learning to control your hips. tightening hip flexirs and quads may also help to create more awareness

[@zbigniewstudnik]

Thanks a lot :) . I have been standing straight on my hands for 3 years, doing about 15 handstand push ups, yet I can't stand on one hand. Maybe thanks to your advice I will finally make it. I have never done one arm push up in my training - do you think it is a mistake and it may translate into better strength in one arm handstand? I see you have them in your training.

[@Sondre_Berg]

Good luck on that buddy! Nope, the OA push-up would have practically no carryover to the OAHS :)

[@TheLazyArtist722]

Dude this was the most helpful video I have ever seen!! Thank you so much, I will definitely post my progress on KZbin!!

[@asswine12]

What about the hand placement? Wide? Shoulder width? Narrow?

[@lucianopixels]

This was really useful! Thanks a lot! One question, in terms of difficulty/time consuming, how would you compare the OAH with the full planche? at my current level in calisthenics i could start practicing either one of those. but i feel the planche would take me longer because of how tall/heavy i am (6'23 / 85kg). What do you think?

[@juliuh1300]

I would say oa Hs would be easier for most people

[@Sondre_Berg]

Hard to say, but it is definitely two entirely different beasts! At your weight I'd say they're both as time consuming. Years of practice for both of them. But You can learn both, That's what I am going for, but I am a bit generalistic in my movement, so I tend to spend more time because I am working on so many things. That's how I like it anyways :)

[@thomasknell4242]

[@icecat4511]

I can hold straight perfect handstand for 1 min and 35 seg . I am currently working on OAH like 5 months and still dont get it

I spent something like 2 years after being at that level😅 Like I am saying in the video, it's a loong journey, so expect it to take time 😊 But it will be worth it in the end, if you don't give up
