27 days short of 2 years. This is dedication guys. This video is the most inspirational one, not only because how long it took you to do it, but because of the circumstances you had to surpass as well - 0 push training, short stick arms & not fit shoulders, being a dad and failing your first goal - and you still did it. Mad respect

Geek Climber you're a beast!!! To balance fatherhood, a full-time job, rock climbing, calisthenics, and video editing is extremely hard! Also, your video was funny, well-structured, concise, and clear - I haven't found a single KZfaqr who makes this style of video better than you (even though I spend A LOT of time watching this style of video). I definitely learned some valuable points for not only my training, but also my future videos. As for a potential next skill you can train, maybe one that won't injure you as much as the press to handstand :)
@buns498 Жыл бұрын
Don’t get me wrong geek climber has a great editing style and type of videos but a KZfaqr called MBS made a video called “learning the front lever from zero” which was a very greatly edited video that keeps the audience engaged even if they aren’t knowledgeable in calisthenics

@GeekClimber Жыл бұрын
Good luck man! I will admit that one of the reason I injured myself so many times is that I want to make a video of me learning it in a short time like "30 days" to go viral, since the longer it takes me to learn the less chance of the video going viral.
@tobiasgrieger4116 Жыл бұрын
@@GeekClimber it's not going to help with the going viral but FWIW the struggle is what I love these videos for. If you can do stuff like that in 30 days it's got to be 80% genetics and natural talent. I want to see the sweat, tears, and dumb mistakes because that is what it takes for the average guy (yours truly) to get it. Three years in and I still can't hold a 60s handstand.

One thing I've noticed in these videos is how much progression you get after having just a single coaching session or sometimes just a conversation with a coach about the problems you're having. I just watched your handstand video and now this one. Obviously hard work and dedication are needed and you have it, but having someone with the knowledge and experience to steer you and correct misconceptions is such a massive help.

We went indoor climbing for the first time. You mostly then magnus inspired us to go. Our kids loved i. I did too. You are getting me to try different movements and see what's possible with practice when it's impossible today. I can finally handstand for 5 seconds. After 5 months of light practice. Your tips were very helpful. Strength side too. The progressive reps and lower intensity is way quicker than just struggle one reps. Once a day, for months.

From my experience, it is easier to start with the tuck pike push up position (similar to tuck planche) and then push your body up to the hand stand position. Once the shoulders get stronger, we can move to adv tuck and then straight legs pike push up position. Good to see you back with this kind of video.

Hi Jason, I. Really liked all your honest and detailed explanations. I have been practicing the press to handstand and weight training overhead press. I train with a buddy to ensure safety. I have rigged up a pulley system that straps around my ankles and the weight offsets my bodyweight by 20lbs (started with about 70lbs). Starting in the headstand position, I am close to doing a press to handstand! I am 67 yo and things take a little longer so bags of patience is needed. I have been doing calisthenics for 3 years now and also subscribe to the excellent Calisthenics Movement program. It is great to see your realistic time frame and detailed progress with all the failures along the way. Keep the excellent videos coming please.

Great video and glad to see you're still killing it as a dad. Looks like you're really limited by your handstand balance at the end, not the press. Over the years I've attempted a number of the skills you've made videos on (sometimes before, sometimes after your video) and I've always found your insights super helpful. I know training plans don't transfer easily, but I'm curious what your training volume for this project was, and whether you focused on it exclusively.
