Learn To Handstand // School of Calisthenics 

Great instruction!

We are not classmates. You are the professor

She is hot

This video is confused. Frog stand really will not help that much. It's a different set of muscles. You don't cover kicking up, tapping toes, pushing the ground away, balancing points on the hands...anything important really.

Meh Thanks for the message. We think the frogstand is a good way to get people comfortable balancing on their hands. It’s achievable and helps build confidence. That’s an important thing in learning to handstand. Also the other things you mention are covered in our handstand guides. This video just gives a few tips to practice and wasn’t designed to be an all inclusive tutorial. It sounds like you can already handstand so I hope your training is going well and your having fun with it. Tim

Hey Charles, thanks for the support and feedback - glad you feel it's possible... our oldest student is now 72 and counting!!! - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cmqD43jrOn8.html

Remember we have a two full handstand programmes inside the virtual classroom - check out the beginners handstand programme here - Jacko classroom.schoolofcalisthenics.com/course?courseid=handstand-beginners

Yes it gets addictive!!! Ha ha - we love it too. We also have a full week by week online programme you can follow if you want extra help? - Jacko classroom.schoolofcalisthenics.com/course/handstand

@@SchoolofCalisthenics thanks so much! I started my calisthenics journey the start of December and currently learning lots of things and filming all my progression for my channel. I think I will definitely need handstand advice. Its so tough trying to even balance off a Wall!

Me to broo!!

@@Akagami753 I can do it noooooow! Progression video is soon! 👢👢🥳

Haha

You wont break you neck.

I just fell yesterday and I didn’t feel any pain. It was funny 😂

Hi, yeah for sure, this was just one example but you can use the blocks in many ways to help give you some support an assistance to learn the transitions! Thanks for the message and for the support. We appreciate it. Tim

So glad we could help and hopefully give you the confidence to start practicing! Enjoy it! Tim

It does! Great spot!

There's flyover😂😂

Awesome, glad you feel you can make a start at the handstand now! If you have any questions just ask. Just take it steady at the start and build confidence. Jacko

We've got a full handstand guide packed full of video coaching tutorials and educational information that you can get tow FREE chapters of here - schoolofcalisthenics.com/handstand-two-free-chapters/

You're most welcome! Tim

Hey. Make sure to also practice with your body facing the wall - rather than kicking up. This way, you will get a feel for both forward and backward movement in the handstand. Harvey.

Have you got a copy of our handstand eBook? There are loads of video tutorials and helpful information that will show you exactly what to do... schoolofcalisthenics.com/product/the-handstand/ Hope it helps Tim

I did it before I watch this video

@@Eklavyafitnesss weird flex. But ok

Haha! Took me a while to notice what you meant. Nice Spot! Seth.

Hope the video helps, keep us posted with your training!

Thanks Tony. We appreciate the support. Tim

Thanks Muhammad. We really appreciate the support. Hope your training is going well. Tim

No worries :)

Haha. You're not the first person to say that! :o)

patrick lol!

@Paddy le Blanc underrated comment

LMAO

Hey Stuart! First general tip would be to find a progression within your current ability, and practice getting strong in that position. That may be just starting with the frogstand. We have seen many people - who fit your description - learn the frogstand and handstand hold, without shedding any weight. These feel difficult for the majority when they first begin. So I'd love to encourage you to dive into some regular practice, and watch your progress over a month/2 months of regular practice. A second tip, would be to use exercises like the Pike Push Up to develop Strength in Overhead pushing. We have a video released recently that should help with that! Check out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rTIiqtGu4bA.html Hope this helps, and gives you some encouragement! All the best! Seth

cheers :) Appreciate it. Harvey.

:o) Hope you're still in one piece Mickey! Tim

U okay?

Korrupt Flow Thanks for the comment and support. Tim

LAPIS LAZULI hey, some simple advice would be make sure to remember to breathe :) and that should help. Harvey

Thanks for the message. It really depends on what you want to do. Some people want to focus on more static handstand variations or you can look at the strength approach and learn handstand push ups. The options are endless as there is so much in hand balancing to play with. The time you need to hold for and the reps and sets also depend on what you want to achieve?

British with Aussie heritage! Thanks for the message and all the best with your handstand training. Keep us posted.

School of Calisthenics ah nice, I just thought her accent was a little more Kiwi than Auzzie ;) I’m a Kiwi-Brit myself ... Thanks and I’d better get back on the handstands now ;)

Hey! So in terms of reps in sets, the quirky answer is - it depends. Depending on current strength levels, training regimen and much more, reps to improve is going to change. However, holding a frogstand and it's variations are isometric exercises. When training to develop isometric strength we want to aim for around 1 minute of Time Under Tension in a single session to create a strength adaptation. An example could be, 6 sets of 10 second holds in a Frogstand variation that is fairly difficult for you. As you get stronger, this will change, and you'll have to progress the variation you are doing. But on a RPE (Rate of perceived exertion) scale - Or the "how dang hard it feels" scale - this should be around an 7 or 8/10. In terms of training this daily - again it depends on lifestyle, training regimen etc. For some, doing little and often, on a daily basis works well. For others it's more time efficient and effective to keep this work in a full Handstand session, which includes hand balancing work, along with some strength work. In general, regular practice - maybe twice a week is a good starting point - in a week, over a long period of time will yield results. Consistency is key. Hope this helps, Seth

School of Calisthenics lol the first part haha depends 😄. But thanks for actually explaining and I will definitely be working on this. Thank you for replying, I’ve hurt my self 3 times already doing the frog stand but I’m determined to get this. New subscriber excited to begin this journey.

These are great ones to get started for sure... we also have a full week by week online programme you can follow here - classroom.schoolofcalisthenics.com/course/handstand Any questions just ask - Jacko

Glad you liked it! Any other video tutorials you’d like to see from us? Jacko

Thanks Kamel

😍😊😁😍😍😍

Practice!! Eventually you'll get used to the balance of it

Ideally on the top of triceps but when you start out as a beginner find a place that feel comfortable as possible for you and progress towards having higher on triceps. Hope that helps - Jacko

School of Calisthenics as a beginner, I find placing knees on the back of triceps is rubbing the skin , that makes me uncomfortable, any good way to ease of this? Tks

Thanks! Hope you're having fun with the Handstand! Seth

he'll be back!

Hey! Not at all, he's back next week!

I'm here!!! Jacko!

He cooks like him too! Seth
