Lately I’ve been recording quick live videos to answer real questions I see pop up in the community. No fluff. No “generic advice.” Just real coaching, for real situations you’re actually dealing with. But here’s the thing… I don’t want to guess what you need. If you’re stuck, confused, or second-guessing something in your training, I want to hear it. It can be technical: Handstands, pull-ups, muscle-ups, mobility, pain, fear, plateaus… Or it can be mental: Consistency, motivation, confidence, feeling lost with your routine. Nothing is too basic. Nothing is a bad question. If one thing has been slowing you down lately, there’s a good chance others feel the same. Drop your question in the comments, and I’ll turn it into a quick live breakdown or demo so you can actually move forward. 💬 What’s the one thing you’re struggling with most right now, or something you are curious about?

Walking handstands look cool. They look advanced. And they feel like progress. But if your goal is to actually learn a clean, controlled handstand, walking too early can quietly hold you back. Here’s why. A walking handstand is not a balance skill first. It’s mostly a controlled forward fall. If you don’t yet own a stacked line shoulders over wrists ribs tucked glutes engaged walking lets you avoid the hardest part of handstands: 👉 Staying still. Most people who “walk” early are: • arching through the lower back • dumping weight into one shoulder at a time • never truly stacking over their base • building speed instead of control That pattern becomes a habit. And later, when they try to hold a freestanding handstand, they feel strong… but unstable. This shows up as: • constant overbalancing forward • banana shape you can’t fix • shaky holds that fall apart under 5 seconds Walking handstands are awesome later. They build: • shoulder endurance • confidence upside down • directional control But only after you can: • hold a stacked wall handstand • float your feet off the wall without swinging • maintain control for a few seconds in freestanding Think of it like parkour or gymnastics. You don’t run a lache before you can swing with control. You don’t do flips before landing mechanics exist. Same thing here. Build the stillness first. Then add movement. 💬 Do you currently practice walking handstands, or are you still building your base first?

Alright, this is me officially pressing the “Go Live” button and seeing what happens 😄 Posts are great… but sometimes video just works better, especially for skills and concepts where seeing and hearing it makes things click. That’s how I learn, and I know a lot of you are the same. So moving forward, I’m going to record certain parts of live calls and turn them into short, focused trainings you can come back to anytime. This is attempt number 1, and we’ll absolutely be doing more of these if it’s helpful. 👇 This video is all about handstands. Specifically, the most frustrating stage almost everyone gets stuck at. 🤸 Handstands: Stuck at 1–2 Seconds? This Is For You If this sounds familiar: - You can kick up… but only hold it for a second or two - You’re good against the wall, but freestanding feels impossible - You’ve been “almost there” for weeks or months Cool. You’re not broken, you’re actually right where you should be. Most people never even reach this stage. In the video, I break down why this phase is the hardest part of the handstand and how to train it intentionally instead of just kicking up and hoping it works. Big idea: Your balance range upside down is tiny right now, like a baby learning to walk. The goal isn’t magic balance… it’s teaching your nervous system how to fall and fix it before you hit the ground. 🔑 What I Cover in the Video ✅ Why falling over and over is actually normal (and necessary) ✅ The idea of overbalancing vs underbalancing ✅ Handstand “bounces” (one of the most effective, no-BS drills) ✅ Chest-to-wall vs back-to-wall (and why banana shapes slow progress) ✅ How to train balance corrections instead of just attempts ✅ Simple setups using a wall, objects, elastics, or a spotter ✅ How this is the real bridge from 1–2 seconds → 5–10+ seconds This is that wall everyone hits. Once you get through it, progress speeds up fast. 🧠 How to Use This - Add the wall bounces into your handstand sessions (5–10 reps) - Use them before freestanding attempts while you’re fresh - If handstands are your priority → focus on getting in + staying in - Fancy drills = optional. - Consistent, smart reps = undefeated.

Small but important update. The Masterbook has been updated with clearer descriptions in the Animal Movements section. Some movements were missing proper explanations, which could make things confusing if you’re newer to them. That’s now fixed ✅ As always, thank you for catching things, asking questions, and helping make the resources better for everyone. 💬 Is there another section you’d like to see expanded or clarified next?

Hey all, last week I started a 30 day wall sit challenge with one of my gym partners. There are 3 levels that you can do Beginner, intermediate and advanced. Because I had started one of these challenges in the past I decided to try as intermediate. Day one I started at 30 seconds ( and to make it interesting I did 3 sets). Well it’s very surprising how fast your stamina can change, everyday I have to add 15 seconds. Last week when I was doing 1 min 15 seconds I was struggling and these legs were on fire, but I shocked myself today, where I was supposed to do 2 minutes 30 seconds , but I got up to 2:45… (and still 3 sets). So much of this is a mind challenge against yourself…. I am looking forward to the last day already and the journey from 30seconds to 5 minutes will be complete…. Let’s gooooooooooo!
