🤸 Live Call Recap - Handstands Focus
If you are in the $9 tier, this is where you get extra coaching, more direct feedback, and more face-to-face time on live calls.
That matters a lot with skills like the handstand.
Why?
Because handstands are not just about being strong.
They are about:
• balance
• body position
• confidence upside down
• knowing how to fix small mistakes
• practicing often without burning yourself out
That is why live coaching helps so much.
A handstand is one of those skills where a tiny correction can change everything.
🧠 The biggest thing to understand
Most people treat handstands like a normal strength exercise.
That is usually the mistake.
With push-ups or pull-ups, you can work hard, get tired, rest, and repeat.
Handstands do not work like that.
Handstands are a technique skill.
That means they usually improve best with:
• short practice
• frequent practice
• clean reps
• good body shape
• smart feedback
✅ What should you actually focus on?
If you are learning handstands, the biggest priorities are:
• quality first
• short sessions
• chest to wall progressions
• learning how to bail safely
• practicing often
For most people, it is better to do a little bit often than one giant session once a week.
Even 1 to 5 minutes a day can go a long way if the practice is clean.
🧱 Best starting point
For most people, the best main handstand work is:
• Chest to wall handstand
Why?
Because it teaches:
• a straighter line
• better shoulder position
• better body tension
• what a real handstand should feel like
If you are not there yet, then start with:
• Pike handstand hold
That is a great place to build the position first.
🚫 What is NOT required
A lot of people think you must learn the crow pose first.
You do not.
Crow pose can be fun.
It can help with hand balance.
But it is not required for handstands.
The same goes for headstands.
They can help as supplementary work, but they are not the main thing.
⚠️ One of the biggest mistakes
One of the most common mistakes is starting with:
• back to wall handstands
• skipping steps
• rushing straight to freestanding
That usually creates the banana shape and makes the handstand harder later.
The goal is not just to get upside down.
The goal is to build a handstand that will actually help you later with:
• better balance
• cleaner lines
• handstand push-ups
• presses
• more control
🛟 The missing piece for most people
A lot of people do not actually need more strength.
They need to learn how to bail safely.
If you are scared of going over, your brain will stop you before you ever get a real handstand attempt.
That is why learning to fall properly matters so much.
Usually that means learning a simple cartwheel style bail and getting comfortable upside down.
👀 Why the $9 tier helps
This is exactly why the $9 tier is valuable.
Because this is where you get:
• extra coaching
• live call time
• direct feedback
• faster help on your technique
• support on your actual videos
A handstand is much easier to fix when someone can actually see what is happening.
Sometimes it is:
• shoulder position
• fear
• rib flare
• line
• balance
• not pushing tall enough
• skipping the right progression
Those are much easier to fix with feedback than by guessing.
📹 Best thing you can do
If you want to improve faster:
• film your handstand practice
• post it in the community
• get eyes on it
• make one small fix at a time
That is how progress gets way faster.
🙌 Final thought
Handstands are hard not because they are impossible.
They are hard because they are made of a lot of small skills.
That is why extra coaching and face-to-face time matter so much.
If you are in the $9 tier, use it.
Ask questions.
Come to the calls.
Post your videos.
That is how we turn confusion into progress.
👇 If you are already in the $9 tier

• pike hold
• chest to wall
• kick up practice
• freestanding holds
