Handstand baseline · Awesome! Hybrid Calisthenics

Handstand baseline

Inspired by every one of you on here posting amazing wins, yesterday I cycled out to Dublin’s first ever Calisthenics park to see what it was about.

It had a wall to practice handstands, lovely soft wood chips, and nothing breakable in the vicinity so I decided to see if I could kick up into any sort of handstand.

Lo and behold, after a few attempts, I figured out the energy and momentum needed and got both feet up over my head. It wasn’t in the least bit pretty but it felt amazing, and I even managed to hold it for a few seconds (I didn’t video it so you’ll just have to trust me 😉).

Now I’ve just watched
