The most amazing part of this was that you got Magnus to do warm up.

15:00 Great to see Magnus doing his first ever warmup!

Two incredible athletes! Love that you did this collab.

Damn, came from Magnus channel and I absolutely LOVE the modular approach! It's so much easier to work on goals that seem attainable! I've started and quit learning the handstand multiple times now because it has always seemed so far away, but finding my level and working my way up one at a time seems very doable! Thanks a lot for this man, you definitely earned this sub!

That wrist routine is crazy. Sondre is a freaking beast - doing straight finger and backhand pushups like it’s nothing. Simply amazing strength

Congratulations on your first 7a+ with Magnus. You absolutely nailed it - well done! I'd really like to see more collab videos

Not only have Sondre’s skills and ability to teach been excellent, his videos are so well put together. The diagrams and cutthroughs teach + inspire in a really effective and balanced way. Hope he gets all the visibility he deserves. PS its also such a treat to watch two guys dedicated to their craft and still stay curious. Thanks for this gem, guys. You inspire everyone to learn and love movement.

That’s some insane level of mastery of body movement.

I came here from the magnus channel great video man greetings from méxico !!!

15:56 i tried this just now out of curiosity and i can do it in a push up position. Finally i can do something Magnus can't 😁

Wow, Sondre, you are an excellent coach. I have never had the process for a handstand push-up explained so well and concisely as you did. I'm sure those exercises are going to help improve my climbing ability very quickly. I'm super excited about this.

Man i can not tell you how amazing this video is for me personally, ive always been very skinny and weight lifting has always been a struggle so i went to calisthenics to try and change myself and i wish i had this video then!!! All of these progressions ive done myself but youve included so many intermediary steps that would help someone like me so much. Ie; pike push up progressions and crow sit progressions etc.. thank you for this and i hope someone finds this and makes use of this because this is such golden knowledge:)

The breakdown of the progression into these "roads" is super interesting. I am an IT student, so the concept of this clear progression and very organized approach really appeals to me :D Thats exactly how I think about my every day tasks. Pick a goal, subdivide and then go step by step through the sub goals. I will subscribe for sure and check out your channel for more of these awesome tutorials

I’d love to see later how Magnus’ progression through these exercises helps him become an even better climber!

I came from Magnus' channel. You got me hooked. Next time I'm in a gym, i need to find out at what level I am. Also I love the wrist exercises. I always had issues with cracking and pain in them and I hope this will help me overcome it. Looking forward to more videos like this. Love the format of levels even for beginners 💯

As a climber myself, i really needed the wrist workouts as ive injured my wrists before due to stupidity. Great progression!

Awesome collaboration sondre! Its great to see you getting known here on RU-vid too! The video quality it’s getting great and the info amazing as always, we need more people like you in the calisthenics community 😄 keep it up 💪🏻

This is so insightful! Love the roads and levels 👏🏻 keep it up man!

These progressions are very well thought out! Thanks for sharing

Wow nice! Never saw such a great video to learn how to handstand with all the different progressions for every aspect of the hanstand pushup! Thanks!!! Very generous of you 😊👍💪

You guys both are amazing! Sondre, this was really something worth to wait for, and it is so nice of you sharing so much accumulated physiological knowledge here, again.

Great video! Excellent way to break it down into obtainable steps.

So useful, practical and fun stuff! Thanks to both of you

I really love how you broke down each movement. I am trying to learn and will be incorporating this into my training. Thank you!

This is incredibly valuable. All regressions plus insights… Thank you 🙏

Great video guys! I try to get that bloody first HSPU, but after watching the video I see that I've been missing lots of possible progressions and could have been further in my HSPU journey by now if I knew them earlier! Good to see Sondre that tour channel grows day by day, you deserved it!

Absolutely wonderful to see the progressions, it makes a complicated and technial excercise seem approachable - challenging, but approachable. This is also the only handstand video I've watched that devotes time to show wrist strenghtening excercises! My wrists are pretty weak and they have always been the weak point when trying calisthenics. So thank you! It looks like a simple and good way to build the wrist strength up progressively.

Ooooh, I can’t do any of these things but I’m oddly inspired to learn.

This is a good video and I enjoyed that you showed the gradients from beginning on forward. You two working together was great!

This is sick! I came here from Magnus' channel, and I'm so pleased I did! It's great that you had exercises for any strength level or technical level. Baby handstand push-ups are the intermediate step I never knew I needed!

literally found u two days ago and im absolutely blown away by u as a person, very humble and nice!

This video was probably the most informative one I have seen on a handstand push up. Great video!

Such a great, approachable video with all the different levels. Thank you!!

Really great video! Loved all the clear progression steps.

The breakdown of this movement level by level is so good! I can go from sitting cross legged on the floor up to handstand, but can’t get the eccentric control to come back down and do reps. this should help a ton 😁

This is an absolutely awesome tutorial for beginners, thank you so much!! Magnus will be at a whole new level with continual training in this, what a trip. Keep going guys!

Such great content, I love the energy and kindness of both of you! (It was also very entertaining and informative for a sedentary guy like me)

This is awesome! Thanks for making this video, I feel like the handstand push is so much more attainable now that I can add these exercises into my routine

Been waiting for you two to colab for a while! Thanks for the training plan too. Definitely going to implement this into my training and see what levels I'm at.

It was fun watching both of your videos. One could see how you each have different strengths and less developed things based on your own training. I also enjoyed seeing you support and coach each other. By the way, I came from Magnus's channel. I'll definitely check out some more of your stuff :)

I’ve been training to hold a handstand and eventually one handed, and your videos have helped tremendously. You’re a huge inspiration and your advice has taken myself and many others very far. You’re the man, Sondre 💪🏽🤙🏽

Just awesome 🔥 magnus is really lucky to have sondre as a teacher🤩🤩

Coming from magnus' channel - this is freakin' amazing, dude! Now I'm finally motivated to work on my push strenght toward this goal, thanks for your motivational modular programm. Keep up the good work!

All the little intermediate versions are such a phenomenal resource, no one ever really covers how to bridge the big gaps between movements. Thank you!

Great video, super instructional. Came from Magnus' channel, and after I saw the quality of your video editing and content I had to subscribe. Keep up the great content!

Thank you for doing this. Loved the whole video. ❤️

You two are incredible and inspirating guys to follow. Thanks for this video and friendship 🤗

Sondre, your breakdown is so amazing it even inspires your near opposite: I haven't done a push-up in 40ish years, but now it's a goal for this year. That's fine teaching!

I loved this video! Great collaboration!

you are a beast mate congrats on the 7a+ now time to deep dive into all these crazy vids you make

Your channel is gold ma friend! Thanks for sharing these infos.

It was so cool, i follow both and see you together was insane, waiting for more🤙. Thankyou vary much for giving us motivation

I think something people neglect to a certain extent when working on handstands is lower back and core stability. I'm watching Magnus collapse through the lower back repeatedly, and I used to do the same thing until I worked more on my lower back and abdominals ;-) Great collab!

This is literally one of my life goals, thanks for setting a path out for me!

Coming from Magnus channel... this is really well made video. From the editing, to the camera work, to all different exercises shown, to the explanation of everything, just awesome!

Big props for giving nice, gradual progressions! So many tutorials or programs just start their beginner levels with full push ups or maybe knee push ups when the reality is that many people can't do even one knee push up with proper form when they're just starting training, never mind training them for reps. I'll incorporate your technique drills for sure, been training wall handstands for a while now and my shoulders are getting more stable, I think it's a good time to bring in some more variety!

Without doubt the best video I’ve found on RU-vid for the HSPU. Many new progressions I’ve never seen and a well thought out structured step by step approach to gaining the skill. Really well done my friend. I’m pretty confident now I’ll be able to a much better job of regaining the skill even at the age of 60.

I'll use this video to train the next weeks cause it looks like a fun progression. Thank you!

This was awesome. You guys are a great collab.

I never comment, but I have express my gratitude. I Stumbled upon your channel via magnus's channel and I'm so happy I did. You're a fantastic teacher, and this is the best breakdown I have ever seen. This goes behind just on how to do a hand stand Push-up but, also teaches you great fundamentals for improving all body weight exercises period. Thank you so much

Wow i was watching Magnus' channel and ended up here. This is a very interesting channel and i think it has a lot of things to teach me as an athlete primarily as well as a climber. The way Sondre increases the difficulty of the excercises step by step is extreamely helpful.

Thanks for the info! I started working out again and really enjoy doing a wide range of exercises. Calisthenics just got added to the rotation (at the very low levels). Keep it up!

Perfect explanation, demonstration and ability overall. Impressive!

This is awesome. I appreciate the progressive approach 😀

Sondre, you're an excellent teacher! Well done.

Amazing video. As a yoga teacher at a climbing gym, this is incredibly inspiring for future classes with my climbers who want to work their handstands!

Excellent! Thank you!

Sondre is so clear and understandable with his instructions, have been wanting a handstand push up for ages, i was going too hard too fast, now I see the progression I can take… will report back later if I can do one (or two ) magnus will probably get it in 2 months. Great video!

incredibly effective coaching.

awesome video, thanks for sharing tricks and tips🙏🏻

Thanks Sondre! I came from Mugnuses channel, you are a beast!!! I will follow your homework from now on! thanks a lot!!!

And that was a sub! Great vid Sondre and happy to have found you!

Wanting to learn this for a long time. Handstands have been getting alot better and this video is just what i needed to progress further! ;)

So strong and humble!

The wrist strengthening is extremely interesting to me as a climber, it's something I've struggled with since day one, I don't even have the finger mobility to do the first exercise shown!

Subbed! Awesome video, I'll definitely use the info to learn the handstand and handstand PU myself! It's a dream that CAN come true!

You had Magnus do a warmup! You madman! :D :D

As a climber, as far as I've dipped in calisthenics is muscle ups so seeing your feats is jaw-dropping

Very complete program. Thank you.

Yoo, this is an awesome collaboration! I am already subscribed to the both of you.

Your content is amazingly good!! Keep up the good work, man! I came from the Magnus channel, btw.

This video was sick. I'm stoked to see Magnus stick with it!

I love that you include knee push-ups in your progression. As a yoga teacher, I would rather see students do knee chaturanga well than a not great plank position chaturanga and never improve. If y’all want to do yoga, I don’t know what the scene in Norway is, but Sweden has a big yoga community. I can recommend teachers to help open your hips (I came here from the other collab on Magnus’s channel) on a healthy manner. All that said, both of you are badasses and an inspiration for even basic handstand work!

Please do more collabs, you both are excellente creating content arround movement. Greetings since Colombia

Incredible video! Thank you both so much value andinformation!! My prediction for myself is 3.5 to 4 months.

Best help for me, I've ever seen 👍👍👍

If it will take mangus about 2 months, I'm going to shoot for 4-6 months. I sincerely love how you've broken down the technical and strength aspects into separate processes, including wrist conditioning! You have a new subscriber and someone seriously looking into your program now. 🖤

So likeable Sondre. Your programs are super effective and good to follow. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Greaaaat video thank you for sharing all of that! I'm just coming in on my first sorta clean muscle-ups, i might have to get onto my pressing skills as well, although i feel like the wrist routine is the thing i'd benefit the most from right now 😅

New sub for you, love the calisthenics material you're putting out, and you know your shit bro 🤙 More collabs between you two would be great

That wrist strengthening routine is really cool. I can barely do a pushup (haven't exercised in years til recently) and it's mainly because my wrists are way too weak... Thanks for covering these :)

Awesome to see that wrist workout, I'm definitely going to try that. I've got really loose joints, and working construction, I've accidentally dislocated my wrist with just a bad hammer swing, so definitely needs some more support. Thx!

Thank you so much for the wrist strengthening exercises. I get wrist and hand atrophy from computer hobby and job, so this is super helpful. This form of muscle building seems way more fun than weight lifting. I can’t wait to start… tomorrow, as it’s midnight right now.

You're a gem ✨ Nice video :)

Saw you through Magnus video. Your approach to this is very good. I am decently strong but can hardly wait to work through the steps in your video.

Magnus fan here, but not a climber. You got me moving, and boy are my arms tired now! Knee pushups, wrist strengthening, stretching. No idea if i’ll ever get to the level of handstand pushup, but I aim to get at least to straight pushups and straight hand stand.
