Hey Paul! Great Q&A. I just bought a box due to your content and I'm loving it already: got my first shoulder stand and can straddle L-sit by letting my shins sag, as well as transition from the former to the latter. Two questions if you have the time: 1. You describe the see-saw / balancing your legs and shoulder lean: do you tend to think of leading with the legs or with the shoulders? 2. Do you think working HSPU concentrics from a shoulder stand could be productive? I find handstand harder to balance and I fall out of it upon failure, whereas shoulder stand is easier to balance and I fall into it upon failure. Overall, I think I am mostly missing the balancing of the legs to "pull me into" the upper position as you describe.

awesome sounds like you're making good progress and having fun! I would prioritise control with the shoulders 99% of the time. Shoulders are closer to the floor, its the opposite to when you're standing. Yes you can work concentrics from the shoulderstand it just takes way more strength especially if you don't use momentum

Great answers. One thing that has really helped me on my hspu is differentiating a deficit shoulder stand from the true bottom of a hspu, something I've seen called a yaad hold. I worked alot from starting in a tripod headstand and staying straight line in my body as I shift weight from my head to hands until my head can lift and slide forward, then holding there as long as possible. The shoulder stand, where you collapse into a deficit is really a rest position, the yaad hold with the head up will not be. Even when I do a deficit hspu now I notice that the yaad hold spot is the real sticking point. I can momentum back up to it by changing shoulder angle but then it's very hard to catch there and then press without overextending into a banana.

yes love conditioning that position where the elbows are at 90 degrees and head just lightly touching the floor. I have a couple of videos on it

Question number 1 sounds basically where I'm at although I did just about manage my first HSPU only yesterday, but only just! I thought it was a strength thing but from what you're saying it's more of a balance issue so I will try your tip around working on partial rom with a block. Thanks Paul your advice and knowledge is awesome and you deserve many more subs for the amount of quality content you provide

Thank You!! yes balance is often the missing part but we can always get stronger as well, so keeping working both 🙃🙃

I can no problem open up the shoulder angle on the way up through flexion the overbalance part you mentioned but i tend to loose the balance when doing those partials or head to floor almost touch level there is something wrong with my timing technique coordination. My HSPU is sometimes inconsistent in terms of squeezing out doubles triples or multiple reps for that matter in terms of the balance aspect
@PaulTwyman Жыл бұрын
I would assess how controlled and strong your Toe Pull control is (Chest to wall under balance). Normally conditioning that will make a big difference especially if you have the strength already for multiple reps

What is the best HSPU hand position ( slightly inward, neutral or slightly outward). Asking this because I've been attempting the freestanding HSPU essentrics in a neutral position but would fall out of it half way through.
@PaulTwyman9 ай бұрын
Definitely a bit wider and turned out slightly

Where do you start if I can’t even get my legs up even with legs on a wall but scared to take the hands closer to the wall because I am worried I will fall flat up opposite way 😊

should I press my heels or fingertips in the floor during hspu? pls reply

Palms will give you the biggest push and strength position. Should feel like bench press where you try to break the bar (external rotation) while maintaining balance
