Learn the One Arm Handstand? This Video is for you! I cover the basics of How to 1 Arm Handstand with clear steps to slowly progress towards this advanced handbalancing skill. Once you have a strong Two Arm Handstand you can start your journey to OAHS but beware for most people its a 18-24 month battle of 1000's and 1000's of repetitions.
I also have some follow along One Arm videos on Floor, canes and blocks.

@PaulTwyman 2 жыл бұрын

I actually don’t stretch that much. I do a few before each session and before each class I teach. I use hanging and scapula conditioning as a prehab/rehab. Great Idea for a video

Thanks Paul, great video with nice clear steps. I haven't been shifting the gaze much so I will give that a go. What do you think about taking the arm out to the side before lifting it off?

@PaulTwyman 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you. Taking the arm out to the side is another good technique to stop the shoulder lifting as you don’t need to bend the elbow. You just need to keep minimal weight in this arm as you are increasing the base of support (distance between both arms is now much bigger) which can make it easier to balance but harder to get the one arm

I hold a handstand for as long as I want and have been trying to progress to one arm handstand for over a year now, and still don't succeed as I should, with the exception of holding for a maximum of 2 seconds at a time. I saw in the video that there are many highlights that I did not apply. I'm going to training to start trying again!!

Thank you for the video Paul it’s really a great video! I have been training handstand for 2 years and kind of able to get solid freestanding hold about 30-40s at ease. Recently I’m trying to train for one arm hs and I felt some strange pain in my left shoulder. What should I do with it? Should I continue or is this an indication that I’m still not strong enough to start training for one arm? Also would like to ask what isit like for strength training in handstand? Cause I don’t really have a coach through out my 2 years of training. Learned all by myself. Appreciate ! Love from Malaysia !

@PaulTwyman 2 жыл бұрын

Great to hear you liked the video. It’s very hard to give accurate advice from a message, especially when it comes to pain or injuries. I’d always recommend getting it checked and explore what other movements trigger the same pain (like DB press overhead, internal or external rotation etc). Normally I would include hanging, scapula conditioning and thoracic mobility in all my programs to help keep the shoulders happy. Strength wise I normally add Skin the Cat, Press Handstand and HSPU movements

Thanks for the in depth explanation! Is it possible to learn this on parallettes? One of my wrists is slightly injured and doesn‘t like handstands which is why I almost exclusively handstand on paralletes nowadays :( I wonder if it is much harder for the one arm handstand or if it might even be easier?

@PaulTwyman Жыл бұрын

Yes you can definitely do it. I’d try blocks as well as they can be easier on the wrists. Also mobility of thoracic, pecs and lats will reduce demand on wrists. Blocks and p bars are in someways easier as you can pull yourself around to maintain balance

Hey Paul, for my training sessions how long should I be focusing on practicing the skills/being on my hands versus practicing drills? I would say right now I am about 1:3-4 skills/being on hands:drills. This applies to bent and straight arm days. I have been training on hands for 2 years and would consider myself novice/intermediate and can get solid 30 handstands consistent. I allocate 1 hour to working out per session and want to optimize my training sessions

@PaulTwyman 2 жыл бұрын

Tricky to answer. When I program for online clients I first discuss their goals in priority order, then assess by seeing videos their current level to each one. Then combine that info with availability to train, equipment, injuries etc. I’m going to do a video soon showing how I split my week. For most I recommend 2-4 strength sessions per week (split between bas and sass) and 4-6 balance sessions per week

@devinthado0od 2 жыл бұрын

@@PaulTwyman fair enough, that is a loaded question. Follow up question, I am getting better at pike and straddle press to handstands but have by no means mastered the move. I would like to get a OAHS someday but am unsure if I should start including these progressions you went over in this video, or if I should master the press moves first. I would say I stick those two movements about 25% of attempts

@mouz8822 2 жыл бұрын

Hey brother,first of all great video!!Just one question: when I am doing the straddle press,at the end phase of the handstand,Im in a banana shape.Does that mean I should work more on my shoulder flexion flexibility??(I can already hold a straight line handstand)

@PaulTwyman 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I’d recommend you start in your straight handstand and slowly lower through an eccentric press as slow as possible until your toes touch the floor. Video from the side and this will show you your available pathway with the flexibility you already have. From this assessment you should be able to work out what’s missing.

@@PaulTwyman I can do middle splits or when Im in a pancake I can touch the floor with my chin or even lower.That means I have good flexibility right??

Hey Paul. First of all thanks a lot! I have been doing one arm work for half a year + now. It's going pretty good and I am able to hold the 1 finger assisted for couple of seconds now. Just one thing is kind of holding me back: Regardless of the OAHS, I am not able to extend my arm completely. I am lacking of like 6-7 degrees. It's not an uncommon thing and for some of us it is what it is. But, when it comes to the OAHS it makes the shape be quite weird, the "one piece - arm, pec, head" concept is somewhat ruined because the distance from the head to the elbow is increased. Nevertheless, I can still make my wrist, shoulder and pelvis aligned of course, but the elbow won't be in the same line... Do you have any insights for people like me? Do I need (and how) to compensate for that? Any tips will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance and cheers from Israel, Omer.

@PaulTwyman 2 жыл бұрын

Hey hope you’re well. Yes this is very common and not necessarily a bad thing, you just need to learn to balance with a slight bend and allow the head to come away from the arm. So the balance will have more of a strength position. I catch and balance my one arm kick ups like this. Break dancers use this method
