I tried doing this for about two weeks, it was harder than trying an ordinary kick up handstand without using the wall. I gave up in the end

How do you train to lift the hips up in the air? I have enough arm and shoulder strength but can't quite figure out how to lift my feet clear off the ground in something like a tuck planche.

I use standard commercial gym flooring mats 15mm thick 1m sqr. The softer mats are not great for handstand balance. Wood or polished concrete is great as well

If you want to know what's after 6, it's locking your legs into lotus position, and lifting them up, without breaking the lotus lock. It's a bit more difficult than the level 6. Also, another way to make lvl 6 a bit more difficult, is starting with your feet, flat on the ground, instead of just the tip of the toes.

@PaulTwyman

Yes I use a Standing Straddle Good Morning taking hands to floor and lifting up to tip toes as part of my Handstand Warm Up when teaching. However I think you need to feet off the floor option to increase the intensity

This was exactly the hump i couldnt get over. Overestimating my shoulders and underestimating my core was screwong me. Engage your core! Once I focused on my core I was able to push up more and navigating my wrists and shoulders was a breeze. But at least I got some good shoulder and wrist workouts over the past month trying to correct my balance!

In the beginning when my shoulder strength was still weak, my exit strategy was wearing a skateboard helmet 🤣 which really helped me prevent head injuries when I collapse while practising handstands. Luckily now I don’t have to anymore.

thanks for this iv been using the dip bar for the hand stand against wall. Prolly notthe safest but I seem to be able to hold msylf for 30 or so and di it for 3 reps every morning before I stretch. is only day 3 today and I can already tell my strength has gotten better. Can only imagine 3 to 6 months from now with consistency. My goal is to be able to do a hand stand push on my dip bars.

I'm about 1,89M and look like a hunchback every time I try an elbow lever...... Been to the gym for almost 14 year now, doing weighted chin ups and dips as part of my shoulder routine and tricep training. Also just when I feel like it. Strenght is not the issue in any case. But i can't get that form right i think.

Try raising the hands up much more on a box to allow you body to hang over the edges. Also video from the side and self assess the position

Superb info! I can easily lean forward (with slightly bent legs) and press to handstand, with my feet landing on the wall behind me (balance isn't quite good enough otherwise), but trying to lower my legs slowly ( when my back isn't on the wall ) feels impossible right now. They always come crashing down fast! I'm going to start adding that face to wall exercise every day and see if I can improve that shoulder strength for underbalance! Thanks!
@PaulTwyman
@PaulTwyman День назад
Yes the underbalance shoulder move will really help fill some gaps. Great you can already get up. Once the balance is there everything will come together

Is this easier than the handstand press?

It can be if you use momentum but the lower hip position makes it harder if done slowly

Two great excercises again for shoulder strength. Nice to see you're using the reverse body position. Applies on a lot if not all moves: one arm, crow pose, straigh arm press. It's often a good way to see the answer is already in the body.

I really interested in this skill, but I hate kick to handstand for many reasons. I don't like uncontrolled bursting movements, I don't feel safe, I'm a big tall guy and i fear of falling hard, because of the lack of good muscles in my hands, back and core, I fear of putting pressure on the back and create injury, my flexibility teacher got a disc injury in her neck following this. I just hate the idea of doing something like that, it feels fundamentally wrong. I do see pressing to handstand in a slow and control way more appealing and promising that I have the right strength and build to hold it in a healthy way. Is there anyway to build it without the kick to handstand?
@PaulTwyman
@PaulTwyman 3 дня назад
Yes you could pick and choose drills that allow support or spotting from the wall. Building strength with Dips, Pike Push Ups, eccentric wall press etc could all be done with little to no risk as long as you don’t progress to quickly beyond your current level. Hope that helps
