With a bunch of new people joining, I want to go over the most important handstand progression again. If you want to get a handstand, the biggest mistake is usually trying to force the full handstand too early. The better approach is this: Spend 2 to 3 weeks doing a little bit every day on the right progression. That will usually help way more than random max effort handstand attempts. 🧠 Why handstands feel so hard A handstand is not just one skill. It is a bunch of small skills happening at the same time: • being upside down • balancing on your hands • spatial awareness • pushing through the shoulders • activating your core • keeping your legs active • learning how to fall safely That is why handstands feel weird at first. You are not weak. You are just learning a lot of new things at once. 🎯 The most important progression For most people, the most important progression is: • Chest to wall handstand Why? Because it teaches: • the right shape • the right line • shoulder position • body tension • what a real handstand should feel like And honestly, it is much better to spend a few weeks getting comfortable here than rushing ahead. 📍 If you are not ready for chest to wall yet Then the best progression before that is: • Pike handstand hold This is amazing because it lets you practice: • being on your hands • shoulder alignment • core tension • getting upside down in a safer way And important reminder: Your legs do not have to be straight yet. If flexibility is the issue, bend the legs. You can even put your knees on something. The goal is not to force perfect flexibility. The goal is to get the alignment and practice being on your hands. 🔄 What comes next after chest to wall? The next most important thing is: • Learning how to fall out safely A lot of people do not struggle with handstands because of strength. They struggle because of fear. That is normal. If your brain does not trust the fall, it will not let you fully commit to the handstand.

Handstands improving How is my handstand? how can I work upto HSPU?

Huge question haha Mine is: buying a doorway pull up bar, after that I went HARD on self improvement and working out What's yours?

I don't like I have to drive to the gym and I sometimes get bored of my workouts So I've been talking with way more people to also improve my socials skills and have a ton of fun ahha What do you not like? How can you fix it?

A lot of people want the front lever and back lever because they look awesome. And they are awesome. But most people make the same mistake: They try the full skill way too early, feel weak, swing around for a bit, and then assume they are not built for it. That is not the problem. The problem is usually the progression. So let’s break down: • what makes these skills worth it • how to actually start • the real progressions • the common mistakes 🔥 Why these skills are worth it The front lever and back lever are not just flashy skills. They build a lot of useful things: • straight arm strength • shoulder control • core tension • body awareness • grip strength • confidence hanging upside down or horizontally The front lever especially builds incredible pulling strength. The back lever builds a lot of shoulder opening, control, and straight arm awareness. They also teach you how to create full body tension instead of just moving one muscle at a time. 🧱 Before you even start If you want to work toward levers, make sure you already have at least some basics: • active hangs • hollow body hold • solid rows or pull-ups • comfort hanging from a bar or rings • basic shoulder control For back lever, I would also want at least: • shoulder mobility work • some comfort with skin the cat progressions • patience That one especially is not a skill to rush. 🏁 Front lever progressions For most people, the real front lever path looks like this: • active hang • scap pulls • tuck front lever hold • tuck front lever rows • advanced tuck front lever • one leg front lever • straddle front lever • full front lever You can also use: • front lever negatives • front lever raises • band-assisted holds Those are great once you are already close. What matters most for front lever The front lever is not just “hang and pray.” You need: • shoulders pulled down and locked in • strong lats • strong core • body tension from shoulders to toes Think about trying to make your whole body one solid piece.
