I’ve been doing calisthenics for 8 months now made amazing progress, thx to the community, however I’m still can’t handstand or even head stand. Ik I have the strength for this because I can do multiple clean handstand pushups against a wall, as well as clean L-sit to handstand(then I fall over.) Any tips on how to hold and balance one would be great.👍

It's more about balance than strength. Balance has a lot to do with core. What kind of core work do you do? You can also do some crow pose which will help with the smaller stabilizing muscles in the arms and help you find that balance point.

@Nate Green If you can L-sit straight into it then you should have all the strength and stability you need. And if you can do it against a wall it shouldn't be an upside down issue. So it's a balance issue. This video has some tips that might help you. I didn't do any of this really, I just walked into it and popped up over and over until I could get it a second at a time, lol.

Why I eat the same meals every day

A really powerful thing I do is eat the same meals every day. Because in this way I just need to come up with a diet that works and just repeat it every day. For me it's Breakfast: Greek yogurt and berries Lunch: Ground chicken/beef with 5 eggs Dinner: chicken/beef with rice/potatoes and veggies Small meal: 2-3 eggs and 2 kiwis And when I came up with this, I just figured out how many calories and grams of protein I need per day to stay lean and build muscle. Then I made sure I got in the right amount of each food from my meals to hit those numbers. Using ChatGPT to do that made it super easy. And now I am staying lean and building muscle every day because it's guaranteed I do it with this diet. As long as I keep eating the same meals each day, I will keep making progress. Do you also eat the same meals every day?

Similar but I have the eggs for breakfast and the yogurt later. And I usually keep it more toward 2 meals per day with a larger fasting window.
