Wow I can’t believe the video got to you! You’re a huge inspiration brother. I got gymnastics rings before seriously getting into calisthenics and your “perfect push/pull routine for the rings” got me in great shape. I would use the recordings of my handstand push ups and compare it to yours to check my form. Thank you 🙏🏽

Thank you my friend, hope the guide is useful💪🏽

Appreciate the support brother💪🏽

Just wanted to ask on thing for the second group which exercise do you suggest to do in we can't already do a full concentric rep from the pike push up? Partial range repes from and hs could be beneficial in this case ?

@@noelsalikaj_SW Thank you my friend! For the concentric HSPU from pike position, I would recommend either holding the bottom position of the pike push up and implementing some toe taps off the ground in order to build up to a full bent arm stand. So in terms of progressions for the concentric, start with pike push ups to get better understanding of your upper body then begin to play with lifting your feet/legs off the ground until you can comfortably hold a shoulder stand. From here we have to option to either continue practicing the shoulder stand or you can practice pushing up from the shoulder stand using wall assistance. The important thing for the skill block is to work on understanding the motion or the HSPU. Hope this helps🙏🏽

@@teotlkev bro you are a legend grateful for your response

That’s a very solid hold time! Good job man, hope the routine gives you some success in the handstand push up. You got this💪🏽🔥

It’ll be on the way soon, stay tuned my friend🙌🏽

Appreciate the support brother 🙏🏽

Wow that’s an honor man! I’m glad this guide was helpful for you, the HSPU is such a grind but once your body begins to feel more comfortable being upside down, the skill starts to become second nature. Stay consistent! Don’t let the mind give up, trust that your body will adapt to the skill my friend💪🏽

That’s the perfect mindset for this skill! Adapting your workouts to life’s demands are going to get you incredible gains. Keep up the good work my friend💪🏽

You got it!👊🏽

The same exact thing happened to me! Those strength sets are easy to forget about once the freestanding HSPU is unlocked, but they are vital in order to progress even further. Congrats on unlocking the HSPU! Keep up the good work my friend💪🏽

Awesome! I’ll definitely be dropping a follow along warm up and mobility routine for the next video. It’s such an underrated yet important aspect of the session, thank you for showing interest brother🙌🏽

⁠@@teotlkevthank you brother! Another video that would be awesome would be a “how to do the basic handstand.” I have only recently gotten into calisthenics and I am struggling with handstands.

Haha gotta make do with the space, glad the guide helped you out my friend💪🏽

You got it! The handstand hold is my favorite skill due the meditative nature of it, I’ll get the guide going soon brother. In the meantime I would highly recommend you record your handstand from both a side view and a back view. Taking note of what’s causing your handstand to succeed in those 5s holds, and comparing it to a video where the holds aren’t as consistent. It may be difficult to spot the difference but engaging with the handstand in this way promotes very nice mastery in training🙌🏽

@@teotlkev amazing thank you 🤩 I will make sure to, I'm going to start training more in a space where I don't feel watched and pressured when filming as I train in a gym and everyone stares 😅

@@jake8343 You have the perfect mindset to succeed! I wish you the best on your training brother💪🏽💯

@teotlkev thank you, you too brother 💪

Yup I’m currently planning a guide for the handstand hold! It’s still in the works so stay tuned my friend. I got a Chris Heria weight like 5 years ago but only recently started getting into weighted calisthenics. I like using ankle weights (generic ones from Amazon) for my explosive weighted pull ups, and the heria weight vest for my weighted HSPU and L-sit pull up. More videos on the way🙏🏽

Appreciate all the support! The skill block is the time where we really focus on technique, so the sample workout is 3 sets to start with (usually 1 rep in each set) and progressing with either more sets or reps as you get stronger. Good form in the early stages of the HSPU means having the intention of protracting the shoulders alongside with the other cues mentioned in the video. The strength block is where we can sacrifice a bit of form (still being mindful of how we’re moving) and aiming for high reps. Ideally you choose a movement (BTW/CTW HSPU or pike push up) that you can comfortably rep out with any pain. While both the skill block and strength block share similar exercises, the main difference is the intention we have behind the movement in each block. Hope this helps! Don’t be afraid to adjust the sets (more or less) as you get more confident with the skill💪🏽

I use Manduka Pro mats for indoor use, and a Gaiam from target for outdoor use. I love seeing comments like this, I wasn’t sure how much yoga I should put into this guide but it plays such an integral role in my calisthenics that I had to include it. It makes me really happy to see like-minded people on here. Glad to have you on the channel brother, more yoga/cali hybrid videos coming soon💪🏽

@@teotlkev Thank you so much for answering. I genuinely hope you blow up more, on youtube you have so much calisthenis content and its all kinda same. Your approach together with yoga is something more akin to what i would like to see and to advance in. Focus on quality and technique over reps or size is just golden to me. Love your approach and philosophy. Tru mastery of body in all aspects. Hope you keep up your awesome work. And once again thanks for recommendations. Looking forward to what might be next. For now, time to binge all your older videos.

@@ven2016 thank you for the kind words brother, I appreciate all the support 🙌🏽

I currently train 6x a week and have been experiencing great progress! You can definitely tackle all those things at once but it’s important that each session is thoughtfully planned out (especially with the HSPU) and that your nutrition and rest is good as well. Hope you continue with all your fitness goals brother💪🏽

Thank you brother💪🏽 The p-bars are from BaseBlocks and they’re from The B-Bar line. If you get one I’d highly recommend placing it on a mat as it isn’t the most stable piece of equipment. I still love it though haha

You got it! More guides in the near future💪🏽

The protraction is a very helpful cue to practice to improve the HSPU. The coordination can feel very strange at first but being aware of what the scapula and shoulders are doing in the movement makes it much easier to do. It’s like doing a full body scan while upside down, the skill gets easier with more practice and consistency! Keep up the good work in your HSPU journey my friend🙌🏽

You got it brother💪🏽🔥

You can’t go with training low reps in higher volume using an Every Minute on the Minute (EMOM) approach. To allow the body some time to adapt to the technique of the HSPU, I’d say either do 1 rep BTW HSPU every 60-90s for 10 minutes, or continue to train the pike push up until you feel very comfortable in it (at least 8-10 good reps). Having a good program (even just push, pull, legs or rest) is a good place to start. Stay consistent and you will succeed, embrace the grind my friend💪🏽🔥

@@teotlkev thanks man, keep grinding

I would begin by assessing your shoulder flexion, does your back begin to arch as you lift your arms up overhead in a standing position (the drill I did in the warm up section)? There is going to be some arch when you first start the HSPU, if you begin to feel back pain then stop the set immediately and rest. When it happened to me I would jot down at what rep my back would arch, and I would stay below that rep range to allow my body to train in good form. It is difficult to provide a solid answer without seeing the arch firsthand, training both in strength and mobility will be your best bet brother🙏🏽

Haha it just gets the heart beat going🔥

And do you prefer 90° hold before handstand push-ups

15 seconds is plenty of time to unlock your first rep, I would also recommend getting a 7-15 second bent arm stand. This way our body can feel a little confident in both the straight arm and bent arm positions of the HSPU. My handstands weren’t the best when I started training the HSPU, so as long as you can comfortably enter a handstand within 2-3 tries then I’d say you are ready. Continue to train your handstand 4-6x a week though! It’s easy to forget that the handstand is a skill in itself and needs time to master. You got this brother💪🏽 *and I like to start with all my HSPU reps before moving on to the holds. The exercises I do remain the same week by week, but sometimes I’ll move them to different sessions. For example, I just started implementing more 90* hold work at the end of my HSPU session. And I have another session dedicated for the 90* HSPU/FL in the same week. Hope this helps🙌🏽

Thanks I hope to achieve my goals ، and I support you for this nice and benefit content 💪💪♥️

It’s hard to tell without seeing a video of it firsthand, but you can never go wrong with training for shoulder stability. My guess is that it could be due to the handstand push up being performed vertically instead of slightly diagonally. You should definitely record yourself and compare the form to another athlete, it’s a great way to learn brother🔥

@@teotlkev Ok will do that thanks for the advice. Amazing video btw .

Stay consistent my friend, you got this🔥

It’ll look a little bit different from person to person but I’d recommend using form as your indicator of when to stop the set. For example, I would compensate in the HSPU by arching my back excessively (giving me back pain at the time) so I would stop my set 1 rep before that would happen in the skill block. It can be a little more lenient on the strength block (perfect form is not expected) so I’d recommend having 1-2 reps in reserve for those sets. Hope this helps my friend🙏🏽

You got it! Do you mean a guide more oriented to beginners or a guide to progress after getting your first handstand push up rep?

No problem, I appreciate all the support brother. Stay consistent on your Handstand journey and you will succeed! I'll be more dropping more videos on the handstand: the entries, different ways to balance, and much more. Hope this guide helps🙌🏽
