Hey Tom, I just wanted to really thank you for this video, it helped me get my first straddle planche press to handstand earlier today! I incorporated the against the wall handstand trap 3 raise into my workouts about 2 weeks ago and my handstands feel a lot more stable now. All of a sudden I was able to do tuck planche to handstand. Earlier today, my rest day, I was just messing around with handstands and figured I'd give the straddle planche press to handstand a try and I got it! It def could use some cleaning up but again thanks mate for the great video!

@IBkochman 3 жыл бұрын

From my experience (sample size of one, may not be widely applicable). Practicing the bottom of the ROM gets you faster results than the top. Since it's harder, if you can get comfortable with the first bit off the ground the rest of the move becomes much easier. But I also took an unconventional route, I learned the press before I learned to balance a handstand. Now I've been hand balancing for over 4 years and my current main goal is the one arm press. I'm using a similar approach, but it's taking a lot more time and patience.

@miguellmdvs2 Жыл бұрын

im taking the same approach, I can hold a long handstand against the wall, but struggle to balance it on my own. For some reason it seems that doing it through a press would make it easier to balance, I could be wrong though

Hi Tom, 3 years ago I suffered from shoulder injury, since I struggle with overhead movement because I have a poor stability of the scapula (including during stretching like butcher block or downward dog). Could you make a video about overhead stability and external rotation in overhead position ? That would be very helpful. Thanks and Great job once again. Robin

I'm using a full body superset push pull legs program... I do this 3 times a week. I used to do athletics when I was younger but stopped doing flexibility exercises. I'm 27 now and kind of a beginner, but I wanna do the splits, handstands and basically be as flexible as I can be when my stuntacademy opens up (closed because of covid). Where do I start?

@eLeMeNt4363 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Tom! So my handstands are getting quite good now, in the sense that I can hold about 45 seconds without any support etc. But I have always scissor kicked up into it and to be honest never really tried to even "bend" into it. I can move my legs around and go into and out of headstand to handstand etc, but I literally cant touch my toes. Would this be a case off strength is there, but flexibility still needs to be worked on, or do you think a straddle press is achievable with bent knees, but ill just be using more strength?

Hey Tom, thanks for the video! Can the support pike slides be done with the feet on low rings? I ask that because the floor where I live is not suited at all for sliding even wearing socks, making this drill extra hard.

@millacabral9475 2 жыл бұрын

Absolutely! Or with a ball of some sort, but then it's harder because of instability and with a ball it doesn't stay on your toes, so meh. You can definitely do it with your feet in rings, though get them very low and figure out how far your shoulders should be from them. I recommend using the straps instead of the hard part of the ring itself, it'll save you some ankle or foot bruising for sure.

Great vid - thx! :-) Can you do a similar video for bend arm press to handstand?

Ah the bent arm is quite straight foreward really. Lots of pike push up work and then similar box press method as demod here, maybe I will give it a brief tutorial in the future :)

@vincer9808 Жыл бұрын

Shoulders and hips. Lean forward just slightly enough to shift your center of gravity. It will put a lot of pressure on your wrists. Make sure your wrists are flexible. It is very helpful to find a spot on the floor to focus on since your head will play a big role in guiding your center of gravity.

@randeepwalia1507 Жыл бұрын

As your hips go over your hands you are essentially falling over, so gravity is doing a lot of the work. By strengthening the traps and developing compression you can control this "fall"

What if I want to train more than 2/3x a week? In my head I'm thinking "use it or lose it" and I am working on coming up with a daily regimen I can do to progress towards this and transitioning to a professional visual artist which demands a lot of time sitting (eventually I hope to make the straddle sit my normal desk working position).

Someone has any idea on how to put this in a weekly program. I mean, 2 times/wk pancake flexibility + overhead flexibility 2 times/wk support pike slide + handstand trap raise 2 times/wk press negative + box presses I'm supposed to do pike slide and handstand trap raise the same day I do press negative and box presses?

I'm confused, I always get really good information from this channel, but i often struggle in putting that in practice. Would be useful in my opinion doing some example of weekly periodization when explaining these programs. Thanks for all, bye

Yeah its combined. What mobility is is just strength + flexibility.
