For my optimistic friends,try holding frogstand for 15 - 20 seconds minimum then move to further steps .....it helps a lot

Hi, my name is Nik. Welcome to "How I broke my bookcase".

Him: You have learned in 5 minutes. Me: Lying down in pain after 5 minutes of falling.

All this just came natural to me when I was young. I could walk on my hands no problem when I was a teen. Now I am 75 and am trying to re-learn this. Thanks for the help.

BIG TIME SAVER: at 2:53 make sure you swing with your higher leg, not kicking up your body with the bottom leg. Became infinitely easier bc of this. If you were already doing this, you got it right :D

This is actually such a helpful video, i've been practicing my frogstand and handstand a while with little to no success and I paused the video to try my frogstand and instantly held it with NO problem. Still working on the handstand, thanks for the amazing tutorial

The thing that takes time with a handstand is not getting up. You could probably learn that in a matter of minutes to hours depending on your coordination. The thing that takes long is getting you vestibular sense (balance sense) used to being upside down and which muscles to activate in order to keep the balance. I have been teaching gymnastics for 15 years. But I usually say that it will take a year to go from novice to good if you just practice a couple of minutes each day.

For me, the hardest part is changing your mentality. I love calisthenics and I consider myself as beginniner. I could do 10 second L sit and 15 second tuck planche but can't even do handstand, a more simple skill than the skills that I learn. It's because when I first try handstand, I overbalanced and broke my damn waist. Therefore, I develop a fear from it. Then when I first started handstand after 5-6 months of not doing it anymore, I could balance myself almost instantly. It changes my entire perspective on bodyweight. Just detect that sweet balance spot, then you're good to go. I also develop a way to fall safely in case I overbalance or underbalance Update: I could do 6 seconds handstand that took me 5 months to learn. No exaggeration, honest accurate counting from 0. This is probably because our muscle is learning that we are being upside down. I got that technique, but can't really perform it before. So the title is kind of a clickbait

10/13/2022 (Day 1): I am 19, 5'7"(170cm), 125lbs(57kg), and a body-fat percentage around 12-13%` I can bench 150lbs (68kg), squat 175lbs (80kg), and deadlift 190lbs (86kg). I go to the gym on a structured workout plan 3-4 times a week. I will be trying each step 5 mins every day while recording my best attempts. 🚩 STAGE 1: Frog-stand (2:06). Goal: 60 seconds. 🔵 Day 1 : 🐸 23s pr! Getting tired after 5 mins :/ 🔵 Day 2 : 🐸 53s pr!!!! Found my balance but holding it was very hard... (🔸The key is accepting that you may fall on your face/fall forward, notice how often you fall on your feet.) 🔵 Day 3 : 🐸 62s pr!! I got my record on my second try while feeling in control the whole time, time for Stage 3. 🚩 STAGE 2: Wall handstand with heavy reliance (2:50). I'm alternating jumping legs for muscle imbalance. Goal: 60 seconds 🔵 Day 3 : 🐸 62s, 🚪5s, whenever I push off the wall, I can’t seem to balance myself. 🔵 Day 4 : 🐸 N/A,🚪35s, I’m losing feeling in my left leg during 🐸, so I’ll stop until I can figure it out. (🔸I found out that the numbing feeling was the result of cutting off blood circulation into my leg since my veins would be pinched by the normal 🐸, I’m now changing the position by having my legs inside my arms.) 🔵 Day 5 : 🐸 5s,🚪65s, moving on to Stage 3 since I can easily hold myself upside down while occasionally pushing off. 🚩 STAGE 3: Slight (a majority of assisted handstand is unsupported) wall support (3:10). Goal: 60 seconds 🔵 Day 5 : 🐸 5s,🚪65s, 🩼 14s, testing out a few leg positions that can help my center of gravity. 🔵 Day 6 : Stomach pains, can’t hold any of the exercises for more than a few seconds. (🔸Day 6-Day 24, Got a slew of aliments, sickness, or injuries/strains, cannot perform practices.) 🔵 Day 24 : 🐸 23s!, 🚪28s, 🩼 12s, my wrist pains (from esports) won’t go away, but I will continue regardless, randomly doing the frog pose throughout the day has made me really good at them. (🔸 I think randomly doing the exercises through the day helps build your balance faster than doing it in 5min chunks every day-I will test this) 12/17/2022: Randomly attempting handstands in tandem with the gym has provided enough control to begin raising my legs into the air without assistance from a still position. I have concluded that sheer strength can supplement the needed balance. (🔸 If you have enough RELATIVE strength, you can learn to balance yourself by doing a handstand on your forearms, granted it’d be a forearm stand.) 2/7/2023: 🐸 27s, 🚪36s, I found some merit in having a large arc in my back and leaving my legs in a deadhang, will report its effectivity. 🚩 STAGE 4: Handstand with spread hands and legs without wall assistance (4:42). Goal: 60 seconds 🚩 STAGE 5: Handstand in proper form

Friend: How long did you practice to achive this.😮 Me: Just 5 min.😁

This guy is cool he told the cheat gainer heck flip back flip and others and now im very awsome on flips

"Think of this invisible box" *draws a cricle*

What’s up home slice gets me every time 😂 And BUT YOU GOTTA FOCUUUUUUSSSSS

"FOCUS" love that word as much as I love your content!!

Seriously, your "bonus hack" is the best advice ever! I've been trying to hold handstands for several months and wasn't able to hold more than 3 secs. I just held a 10+ seconds handstand! Thank you so much! +1 Sub

Don’t you hate that feeling when you get into a handstand and then fall right back down stomach side because you don’t want to fall on your back.

Your videos have always helped me reach my athletic goals. Hope you're staying blessed in this crazy world we're living in right now.

One hand ahead of the other... mind blown! Been trying for 12 months, but this makes perfect sense. Love it!

this is the best I have found on KZfaq so far. true gem! thanks man

His voice makes me feel so calm...

Thank you helped a lot tried learning a handstand since a year but couldn’t figure out how to balance to hold longer than 3 sec. Today i did almost 12 seconds

Great tips. I’ve been struggling for a while, mostly around leaving the security of the “wall”. You just helped me break the dependency Pigmie!

wow bro i was into handstand for years without understanding literaly nothing about it and you made my handstand in less than 5 minutes...i love you!

Showed my sons this video today, teaching them how to do and hold a handstand! They enjoyed the video! Thank you!

My max hold was only 22 seconds until after this. It's now just under a minuet.

I’ve been practicing hand stans for quite a while now but still the wall is my best friend. Tomorrow morning is the time for my training again and will try your method for sure. Pretty cool, thanks!

love the videos man. they inspire me every day to keep my channel going even when it’s slow, thanks for that.

Got to give credit when it’s due. The stagger hands is working. Thanks Lucas, doing a great with content.

To everyone who thinks in the next 5 minutes he will hold a handstand... you will not

Fine ! I recovered the frog position in less than 5 minutes (as a young man, it was easy for me to do it, but I don't practice this exercise these last years, and now I could not do it anymore)... Thank's a lot !

Idk why but why does he look like wreck it ralph to me. Is it just me?

This man is awesome! Really helpful tutorial that helps you reach your fitness goals with some good laughs along the way!

Thank you, I am gonna do this in my interview

Thank you,you helped more than you know, i’ve been trying to get my handstand for years! I finally got it!

Thanks bro , didnt knew what I was doing wrong, i wasnt shifting my bodyweight above my fingertips. Now I ve found the gspot. Thanks again

I found this video by chance. I saw your video tutorial about 13 years ago. In order to practice breakdance, this method is the fastest and most effective way to practice handstands. At the same time, you do 100 push-ups and sit-ups every day. Two months later, you Will complete the handstand, the most difficult part of this process is that you have to be patient

Thsnks for your great hand standing tutorial . I will definitely take it and practice to achieve it.

i ve been learning handstand for like 1 month, i can deal with fear to fall, but still strunggle with balance, this video help me a lot!

BEST tutorial EVERRRR thank you so much. I've been trying to do a handstand for what seems months and I've refused to watch videos on tutorials because I'm like, "I've got this" and yours is the third I've watched because no one else's methods were working. and all of your hacks just makes sense. Thanks, my guy.

You're such a great teacher!

Oh thanks man! I wanted to learn how to stand and then KZfaq suggested your video. Cool, I will try it!

This trick with hands actually works! I'm able to hold the handstand a lot longer. Thanks Man :D

You are a masterpiece man.

I love this!! That hack has been a game changer for my handstands

Bro thx so much your the most help I have ever seen you earned a sub with nothfactions

At Day 1, I am 19, 5'11", 67kg, I can bench 55kg and squat 60kg, right now I am not going to gym just doing basic exercises. 5 - 10 minutes everyday for these exercises 🚩 STAGE 1 : [Goal: hold frogstand(2:06) for 60 sec] 🔵day 1,2 :🐸 frogstand for 3-4 sec max 🔵day 3,4,5 :🐸 6-8 sec max 🔵day 6 :🐸 17 sec !! (🔸Its not about strength in your hands, its about finding the balance point) 🔵day 7,8 :🐸 12-18 sec 🔵day 9 :🐸 22 sec max !! 🔵day 10 :🐸 15 sec max (🔸Today, I fell and hit my face on ground because I was desperately trying to beat 22 sec. disappointment) 🔵day 11 :🐸 26 sec max ! (🔸Tip: Focus on fingertips to balance yourself. I know its mentioned in this video but you will forget it when doing it by yourself.) 🔵day 12-14 :🐸 41 sec max (🔸I have become pretty good at balancing. Now, its all about strength in my arms to hold this position longer. So that's why I think its time for Stage 2) 🚩 STAGE 2 : My goal is to touch wall with my foot(2:50). I will be doing this jump(exercise) on both legs by reversing their roles to prevent any muscle imbalances. Also, I will be doing frogtsand for 2-3 times. 🔵day 15 : 🐸 51 sec max. 30 jumps(15 each leg) (🔸I am nowhere near to touch wall with my feet. After jumping, my legs can't even stay for one second in air. I think this stage is going to take ALOT of time.) 🔵day 16-21 : 🐸 57 sec max (🔸Still can't touch wall, its really hard bcoz of FEAR of falling. My brain isn't letting me swing my leg and jump at its full potential.) 🔵day 20-26 :🐸 65 sec!! finally over a minute (🔸I can feel little improvement at jumping.) 🔵day 27-29 : skipped (🔸Back pain after lifting heavy furniture.) 🔵day 30-31 :🐸 50 sec hold (🔸This is getting boring.) 🔵day 32-38 :🐸 70 sec hooo!! 🔵day 39-55 : skipped (🔸Lack of interest. I think I can't do it.) 🔵day 56- 60 :🐸46 sec max after skipping 140 days... Current weight: 71kg 🔵day 61 : 🐸 45 sec 🔵day 62 : 🐸 62 sec (🔸After jumping, the moment when my legs are almost perpendicular to ground and all bodyweight is on my wrists and palms.. thats the scary part.. which is the most difficult one and it will take some time to overcome it.) 🔵day 63-64 : 🐸 48 sec 🟡 I have found that my hamstrings, glutes, groin, abductors.. all these muscle are really tight which could be responsible for my bad progress. From now on, I will be focusing mainly on streching these muscles and increasing my flexibility. After that, I will switch my focus to Handstand. I will keep updating my progress once a week. 🚩 *STAGE 3: Now(**3:10**), I will balance myself by using wall as support. Goal: 60 seconds* 🚩 *STAGE 4: Now(**4:42**), doing without wall with both legs and hands spread. Goal: maybe 30 seconds* 🚩 *STAGE 5: Finally, trying to do Handstand in proper form.*

Just tried it right now and...... Booooommm💥 Nailed💅🏻 first handstanD

Pigmie: How to do a handstand in 5 minutes Me: *5 minutes? More like 5 days*

Very helpful bro, the tutorial went straight to the sweet spot

I love this guy's energy.....

I love the trick with arms forward and backward!!;)

While practicing the frog position, I lost balance and I dropped to the ground. It didn't hurt but it was so slow and anti climactic it was pretty funny

Lucas: “Frog pose is easier to hold than a handstand” Me: EaSiEr???🥴 so it gets harder????

Okay, too helpful! Thank you, wizard.

Thanks bro, really supporting

I can't do push ups but I can do a handstand-

BUT YOU GOTTA FOCUS 🤯

Thank you i can never get this, trying now and wont give up thank you

This is really helpful. I didn't know until now how much my balance and coordination sucks. I will challenge myself to learn it in 2 weeks

I just subbed cause I found him funny lol. I'm interested on the program he sells but wanted to take a look at the structure before deciding on the purchase, can anyone show some prints or something so I can see the format pls. Thx.

I sprained my back in 5 minutes.

Best handstand video so far!

Insane vid bro keep it up

I can do about 70 pushups and have been practicing handstand for 3 months or so. My max record is only 10 seconds using the wall to get on the position.
