@@mlm_academyofficial2041 i dont get no hand pushups isnt that basically leg pushups i cringed when it turned into explosive pushup. They are just pushing up higher exposively that isnt one hand. my point is it not a handstand if hands arent involved somehow at most one finger only
This is not myth busting he is only calling it impossible because nobody knows how to properly work for it. Its so easy to cheat it that even someone who can't do a regular handstand pushup could do it so nobody learns.
@@alexbarcovsky4319 I've actually seen a haphazard video of a one-armed muscle-up. It was sloppy as hell but still quite a feat. Never seen a one armed perfect handstand pushup either, but that's still not quite the same thing as you can do a very sloppy version of one move with a lot less effort than another with perfect form. Bottom line: Whatever feat it is there's most likely a RU-vid video on it. At least some form of video; most likely not very pretty.
That's an acceleration of 3214000 m/s^2 ( s(t)=0.5 a t^2 , a= 1607m × 2 ÷ 0.01s^2 ). Times a 80kg body ( F= m × a ) that's 257.120.000N. I don't think a human calve muscle could support that force
I love these kinds of analysis videos, and you addressed many important points. Some observations: * Added to the fact that you don't lift 100% of your weight, there is the bilateral deficit to consider, meaning that in theory it requires less than twice the strength of the two arm version. However the instability of balancing on one arm should counteracts this. But overall you've shown that since people could military press more than twice their weight, it may be possible to get the needed raw strength. * I love how you tried to get into the bottom one arm position, which I always imagined as a very tilted one arm elbow lever. It would be cool to see someone hold that position unassisted. * You did not discuss Matteo Spinazzola's video where he does a full range one arm wall rep. He has to "walk" a foot up because the friction of that surface is too high to slide back up. Maybe he'd be able to do it cleanly on a super smooth wall or by attaching small wheels to his feet to roll up (not roller skates, he said those would not work). * You did not discuss the strict one arm elbow lever to one arm handstand, where people like Cai Yong and Roilan Handbalancer can press from one arm elbow lever to one arm handstand flag and then go up into the handstand, with no momentum from the legs, only strength. The start is similar to the one arm planche pushup done quite well by Ziolus and Mateusz Nowicki and Pivet Madkilla (he did it more sideways), and less cleanly by Matteo Spinazzola and Andrea Larosa. * Regarding you not finding videos of someone close to it, similarly years ago I could not find videos of a no kip no armpit assistance one arm muscle up, but now there are people doing it with almost no kip and Andrey Aleksandrov is close to doing it perfectly. Similarly I think the one arm handstand pushup is possible, maybe some very short guy with small legs like Pivet Madkilla will do it one day.
@@Re4l_SW It's sort of like weight classes, tiny people with atrophied or fake legs can be judged on their merits without having to compare them to people with a normal body.
@@MassimoKokhno i agree i was just saying those dont count to like the real normal sport like dimitry voyuschev can do reverse planche but it doesnt really count as the worlds first since he has legs disease
Thank you as always ... for helping to dissect and explain the technical complexities of the 1 arm push-up (proper) Needless to say I agree ... It is soo difficult as to be next to impossible.
it would be so fucking cool to see something like this happen. i cant wait to see more calisthenics moves being discovered though. there will always be something cool popping up
I just thought: okay, just another guy who recently started training and who is motivated but has no idea... then I saw it was you :D if there is anybody out there who can do it, you would definitely be on on the list! This would be fucking epic!
The closest ones I've seen are from Matteo Spinazzola (he has an instagram one where he does it with a greater ROM) and Cai Yong, who does an one arm elbow lever to HS but strict. I think these are the best representations of a one arm HS pushup
Start with band-assisted OAHSPUs, with the first band taking 50% of your weight. That may allow you to find the best form. Then once you determine the best form, keep decreasing the assistance until you're doing it freestanding. I do think it's unlikely you will ever be able to do it though.
very good! im able to do archer handstand push ups for reps with each arm, and wondering if it was possible the OA, and cuestioning the same things you adressed in this video, its imposible because of the balance requirements
Look up the video “Cai Yong - Équilibriste” at 2:20. Super strict push up from croco to one arm full flag. Basically a one arm 90° push-up. In my opinion, it’s the peak of one arm pushing strength.
an air baby to one arm handstand is closer to a one arm 90 degree pushup (except with an elbow lever) the movement pattern is still crazy, just doing one of those skills takes insane coordination
Beautiful fuckin work. As someone familiar with scientific calculations and calisthenics, i enjoyed the formalish presentation. BUT keep in mind the possibility of pushing your elbow into your stomach for what breakdancers call a "turtle freeze" with one arm. Fk.. just got to that end portion of the video, you already thought of it lol beautiful video
i saw a one arm 90 degree push up in some street workout video, it was basically the one arm elbow lever one but super low, without momentum, and the middle part looked a bit like a weird one arm planche
The guys at the end of the video, did it with a technique that uses other muscle groups. ALL exercises use other muscle groups in concert with the main muscle group. I would give it to them, in my humble opinion.
The only reason I looked this up is because this is the impressive feat that Kronk's shoulder devil has to perform to make the angel say the iconic line
The best way to describe this movement is to do a standard shoulder press, but now, from the resting position with the bar on ur chest, remove one arm but do not change anything else, do the press. If you can do that, you can do one arm handstand pushup. :)
I'd argue against the impossible statement, solely because I don't believe there are a lot of people actually actively and strategically training for it, simply because most would think it impossible thus not even putting in any serious thought or effort into it, you'd have to go through a really long, tedious and challenging work of working on handstand push ups regularly, as if you were doing normal push ups, which is demanding enough by itself, but then you also have the factor of the centre of mass balance, for which it makes it a whole different exercise from 2 hands push up, because now you're suddenly recruiting a lot of your core muscles, and putting much more strain on your wrist, waist etc to keep the balance which is a very active effort of coordination, so I just believe that almost nobody ever truly put in the thought, time or effort into making it a reality.
DeUanUIs actually did a one arm hanstand pushup on the rings. (with feet on straps). Free standing perfect one arm pushup might be impossible, but maybe with some weird ways to manipulate your body it may can be done... Don't forget that one arm pushup is also not perfect, as you spread your legs and bend your core a little..
the freestanding full range version is impossible, but one thing you have to understand is the regular hspu is a partial range range, what requires less strenght then a strict press, in fact, if you have something to hold your legs it can be done and i think is good enough, but not that cool :'(
Hey! I'm the guy you shit on at 7:29 (just kidding 😉, great analysis all around here!) It is a fun skill to work on, for sure. For my training, I worked on a parallette at easier heights to make pressing from the ground easier. And yes, I absolutely jammed myself in the corner to give better balance and leverage. The skill comes down to what parameters you set (full range? just to floor? freestanding? against the wall?). It's like saying "handstand pushup" - does that mean chest to wall? back to wall? full range? supported or freestanding? There are a lot of different variations, with a huge range of difficulty. I'd still put them all under the umbrella of "handstand pushup". For a freestanding, full range, one arm handstand push-up - yep, I haven't seen it. I would say in the one arm elbow lever to one arm handstand, there ARE plenty of examples out there of people pressing up out of that position without a kick. That is impressive as hell and likely the closest thing to what you're looking for. Thanks for the video!
Hey, is it absolutely necessary to eat before training? I have problems to stuff myself after waking up and I can practice only in the mornings (just began your routine for beginners and I’m so exited - thanks for all the motivation from your videos) Pzdr
Matteo Spinazzola (the second video you showed) has said that even though it looks like he is climbing the wall with his feet and therefore making it easier. It really isn't. The wall had too much friction to slide the foot up but he can't really create any force with the foot to help him push himself up. So that's the best attempt of the ones you showed I think. He also has an even better attempt on his Instagram where he does the one arm handstand push-up on parallets with a crazy range of motion.
@@gustavwiden7039 This move is clearly possible and his explanations are false. Just find a way to get over balance issues without giving your weight to it, you're done. The guy you mentioned obviously is not climbing the wall with his foot. But if it makes the owner of this video happier, he can oil his foot and wall and restrict horizontal slide with some wood, so it slides vertically.
Maybe movement that you are looking for is 1 arm Kettlebell press (or Jerk). Check out some Viktor Blud or Goga Tupurya, they do some stuff looks like that
I have seen one arm front lever pull up, I have seen archer HSPU, I have seen people doing one arm planche, one arm forearm planche. Form must be something different from the regular handstand push-ups but someone will actually do it. Wait for it. I know somethings are impossible but I think it can be done. Maybe not with full ROM but it's possible. Even Artem Morozov was trying to do it and somehow he succeeded a little in it. Maybe in future.
I would say one arm handstand with bent arm is like unstabbed airchair in bboying , he describe it like that but he says it is a uncomfortable position. And i remember i saw some one bboy on instagram pushing up from unstapped airchair into one arm balance without kicking only with strength.
I saw a really good attempt that you did not mention. The Guliano twins. They did it without wall but the range of motion is about 50%. Search for oahspu Guliano or something like that.
You missed a handbalancer. Cai Yong does them without a kip and it’s called a croc press or press from croc. Here’s a clip: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4rHJujMe5Mg.htmlm40s . It’s commonly considered the epitome of handbalancing skills and the closest one can probably get to a oah push-up.
I think that we can't do the same exact movement for every exercise. I mean, quiting one arm from a push up makes you put a different shape that you would have if you did a normal push up. Great video
