How do you so consistently put out information on the things I'm wondering about practicing RIGHT NOW - ?? Have I been hacked? Well do your worst - you can only improve my credit score, at this point.

[@HeibesHealth]

You guys have been just what I’ve needed. I primarily cycle, but I weightlift and was dabbling in primal flow but wanted to discover more of that, and your channel and site have opened my eyes to so much. I signed up as a Strength Side member just a couple days after discovering your content. So happy I did!

[@lemonsqueezer2900]

those wall scissors are so useful! i feel like that might have been what i was missing. thank you!

[@goodnatureart]

Thanks!

[@ruinsovereve]

longtime subscriber just coming out of a bad 2 year depressive episode... your videos helped me feel strong years ago, and now i'm ready to feel strong again! you really emphasize the process and building strength in a healthy way, it's very encouraging!!! thank you for all you do! 😊

[@faysoufox]

It's actually encouraging to see your starting shape and that you've managed to improve it over time. You have a beautiful handstand shape now. Great video !

[@Strengthside]

thanks a ton! It's been a journey

[@TREEfool]

THANK YOU!!! I held a handstand for 13seconds today because of you guys!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU for all the help these past years!

[@RyansCalisthenics]

This is what I’m working on right now. Recently watched your video about unlocking hamstrings muscles then it got me subscribed. And now you uploaded this, huge thanks! I’m currently on wall scissors but with banana back. I’ll improve this with the help of your tips.

[@Strengthside]

You got it man. Just put the work in and you'll achieve it :)

[@acroalliance]

Thank you for such a great video! I just shared this with all of my students with the following message! "I have been following the Strength Side for years and he just released what might just be the most concise info packed short video on Handstands that I have ever seen. It is well worth the watch and probably worth a save!"

[@Strengthside]

Now that is a good sell if I've ever heard one... :)

[@PedroArgentino-rc1zf]

This is the video we all need to have!!❤

[@mjchecksfield914]

Fact is your hands and arms were made to hang from branches,so reversing the whole action to now pushing away from the floor with your hands and arms means a big adjustment of your entire body. There is a lot of work needed. Good video, because its honest about the amount of work required.

[@Strengthside]

good point! It's pretty unnatural for the body and this is where the time commitment comes from !

[@ragnarcorn]

40 year old working on this. Y’all inspired me to learn a ring muscle up last year. Is there a program that can combine all of these things and keep me in shape for backcountry skiing, running, biking, etc? Oh and maintaining/improving mobility. You guys rock!

[@milaank7570]

Bro how do you know,I am looking for a hand stand tutorial.... what a timing ❤

[@gsherlock3379]

Was definitely slacking with my handstand training, needed this for some motivation thanks lads

[@xenjibamn]

Thanks for the video, recently find out in my shoulders mobility journey that it was my pecs that were really tight and stopping me from opening my rib cage. About to start some loaded pec stretch !

[@shaishaili]

Wow really enjoyed this one. Thanks ❤

[@heidirexin5141]

This covers so much and makes so much sense. Thank you!

[@отважныйкамазист]

This is super helpful, thanks!

[@antoniomarino9113]

Love your videos, they are so helpful! Can you make something about strengthening the lower back to get pain-free?

[@thaironVDH]

Very nice explanation , thank you xxxx

[@rachelleo8881]

Love what you do. Thanks as always. 👍🏼🙏🏽

[@nere6054]

I lov u guys, too fucking much are for far the most interesting channel right now, And the most important, at least for me is the philosophy and approach behind your way to look training

[@M077Y]

What about when you have the strength and mobility for it, but you find it SCARY AF? Any tips there?

[@thedodo757]

I think try to do a progression that doesn't scare you much so you can get used to the position of the handstand, also asking for help if you want to do the handstand and fall so it feels safe and trying in a soft ground like grass or a big mat. I think learning how to fall would be good too so you know that even if you do you'll be ok. Good luck! I wish I had the strength and mobility but I know that with time I can get it, I admire you from distance.

[@M077Y]

@thedodo757 thank you so much for that, I don't know how to fall safely is my biggest fear, so what you've said is super helpful! Much support and love, in your endeavours, you'll get there!

[@Strengthside]

Have you practiced bailing? Another good one is to do them on a softer surface like grass. Or if you have the extra cash, grab a folding landing mat on amazon. Having softer surfaces around always makes the body feel safer! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4DWg2CnncqKopI

[@M077Y]

@@Strengthside Yeah I need to learn to bail for sure, thank you!! I might chuck a spare mattress on the floor for a bit!

[@ericgarcia9560]

@@M077Yyou can also find a gymnastics place with an open gym night or go to a tranpoline park on slow hours. Knowing every surface around is padded can give you a confidence boost. Also, open gym nights will allow you to meet other people working on similar goals.

[@CalisthenicsDave34]

exactly what I was after. thank you.

[@Pluvo2for1]

Great topic. Thank you!

Additional tip for achieving a 10 second hand stand hold: point the toes to the sky. Helps stability.

[@jasmingremper2864]

Still being at the banana stage, I find this tutorial incredibly inspiring and helpful. Thanks so much guys 🙏

[@Strengthside]

it will get straighter over time just keep training :)

[@lewisgordon1490]

Good video but you should have credited Summerfunfitness for using that clip. Also it's good for us to have multiple sources, since there are some channels that give bad advice. When using back to wall HS, you want to be careful of relying on the wall too much, learn to hold partway up reliably (eg pike V-stand and L-stand as well as a variety of leg positions.

[@pianokey731]

Love this! Thank you! Who is the woman in 10:10-10:60?

[@AndreS_22246]

That’s a KZbinr called SummerFunFitness, from her video called Handstand press routine.

[@MsHwisprian]

Looks like @summerfunfitness. Got my handstands at 47 and I follow her too

[@Strengthside]

That's right Summerfunfitness. she has a great channel

link to your pullup bar that you guys use? the one at 1:18 . and i can attach my rings to that right?

[@destinationdopamine7869]

Your breakdown is well thought out and explained.✨✨✨💛✨✨✨ ShineOn

[@hceperepnoname8752]

❤ Cool ❤

[@sh4nkzz497]

Free HS Holds are the this what im learning right now since 3 months. My Best is 15 secs, but i kick up and im ultra random and over Balance or underbalance. Right now mostly a little over Balance. I do them with the up-leg straight swinging and littlerly no kick from the down-leg. Since 1-2 Werks i stopped doin like 4-6hrs a week on free HS kick ups and wallhs holds, cause im now again at a Point where im just a bit depressed on not getting better. Cause i also do like 20-22hrs of normal workout a week. (8days, pull-push-leg-rest-") Im enjoying Shoulder presses now with heavy weight on 3-8 reps on the Push day and on the Pull day on 18-20 reps with Lightweight, just as a little pump Trapezius-feel Good. Any Suggestion? 😅 :/

[@Strengthside]

Yes we all hit a point where we stall out. You have to keep going during that "depressed time" to get through it. You got this man as long as you keep them up you'll get it. Also - if you really want the handstand maybe back down on the other training and prioritize handstand for a bit :)

[@Mohammad-nv4qn]

will handstand make you shorter?

[@mvsilocs]

Just as much as standing up regularly makes you taller, I suppose?

[@Mohammad-nv4qn]

@@mvsilocs 🤣 when i handstand i feel 2x pressure on my spine, mostly on lower back so i guess thats gonna affect my upper body height negetively

[@ninja8flash742]

​@@Mohammad-nv4qnno it wont make you shorter although it is likely you are compensating with you lower back because your shoulders aren't flexible enough id recommend using hanging and back bridge training for them and start with some type of front split handstand even against the wall to take pressure off the lower back

[@Plug042]

is freaking hard

[@UdoADHD]

Chest to wall is way too scary for me. I will do back to wall

[@paulmarshall9189]

Chest to wall is way better for intuitive balance practice though, because you're coming off the wall from underbalance. Just learn to bail properly and you'll be fine. You need to completely eliminate the fear of falling in overbalance anyway, might as well get it done early.

[@UdoADHD]

@@paulmarshall9189 how do you learn to bail?

[@paulmarshall9189]

@@UdoADHD I would say just use the wall. If you're really terrified to fall in overbalance, you could use a spotter in the middle of the room. But bailing is the normal exit procedure for chest/wall drills, so you'll have plenty of time to practice once you get your foot in the door with it. Imagine you're holding a freestanding handstand, could be any shape - stacked, scissors, scorpion, banana, whatever. Draw a line up through your center of gravity, and that describes the plane of neutral balance. So to bail from balance, just move part of your body a bit forward of the neutral plane. You'll slowly start to fall forward. Then bend your hips over to the side and come down. You can start by practicing on the wall from mild underbalance. Then bump it up to neutral, then tip slightly over into overbalance. There's nothing to be afraid of. You have plenty of time to dismount to the side.

30' to 40' is now replaced by Adult, is this a new definition for the audience?

[@Strengthside]

adult means 18 and op. It's much easier to learn a handstand as a kid.
