@fallen edge

#

Help me achieve this feet of strength

#

@proper vault

#

Shit attempt at freestanding HS

quasi scarab
#

You think I'm strong enough for Freestanding HS?

quasi scarab
#

@magic thunder

#

Shingles the dingles do you its a balance issue or strength issue

proper vault
#

Kick up with your feet closer to your hands

#

Easier to stop the movement if it is less horizontal

# quasi scarab Posting in a bit
  • Do not hide your head in your shoulders, look at the floor, will be way quicker for you to learn
  • Hands a bit closer to the wall
  • One foot should be in a line with the body, while you try to put away weight from the one on the wall
  • Freestand won't work since u have a bad habit of placing ur head in your shoulders instead of looking at the ground
#
  • You don't use fingers at all from what I see, fingers are what are doing the balance in handstand, you should try standing more belly to the wall like in the first video and practicing kicking slightly with your foot off the wall and coming back to the wall using strength in your fingers. Stay on your feet, lean forward, you'll feel how front of your feet is pushing to the ground, lean back, your back of your foot is pushing to the ground. The same is in handstand, but with hands
quasi scarab
#

I see

#

So maim things are
Look at ground
1 foot in line with hip
And use fingers to balance (idk how)

#

So more attempts and CTW HS

fallen edge
#

Your main focus should be:

  • Make sure to look at the ground the whole time
  • Use fingers, play with them, start to feel what they do
quasi scarab
#

Uh huh
Can I do this everyday? Like short 20min sessions throughout the day?

fallen edge
#

Good exercise for the fingers thingy is to do handstand back to wall but your hands need to be really close to the wall, for you to be in a straight line, then bent fingers in your hands and push them to the ground with maximum power while being flexed (ass, core) - You'll feel that your feet is slowly moving away from the wall, thanks to your fingers

#

You have to work on the fingers awareness

#

cool cool cool

quasi scarab
#

I'll update this form from time to time

#

Kinda surprised there was no problem with my hip doing an arch

fallen edge
#

And when doing the back to wall handstand, belly handstand (do not do freestand yet) think about your fingers, think how to use them, do not think how to get in balance and hold the handstand, just fingers

quasi scarab
#

Thought it should be straight

#

Ok

#

Fingerawarnessmaxxing

fallen edge
#

But don't even think about it

#

Fingers, fingers, fingers

quasi scarab
#

Nice 👍

#

This was day 1 btw

#

So hopefully it gets well

#

As time passes

fallen edge
#

Yeah just takes time for the mind to understand how it works

#

I learned my handstand just by doing it throughout the day... like a lot, really a lot

#

It was winter, no gym, no outside training

quasi scarab
#

What's a lot

fallen edge
#

2+ hours everyday

quasi scarab
#

Cuz I'll be doing like 10min sessions at least 3-4 times per day

#

quasi scarab

#

Just neuroplasticity

#
  • put emotions into handstand, no joke
#

Pray in your head, get mad, get happy

#

Emotions = neuroplasticity

#

And balance, how u use fingers come from your mind

quasi scarab
#

Is this the secret sauce for getting HS and HSPU?

fallen edge
#

HSPU no, that's strength

I've told you before. After getting used to c2w and working a bit on line there focus on toe pulls and heel pulls

fallen edge
#

quasi scarab

#

Heel pulls are what he said

Chewing takes effort

#

Both heel and toe pulls here

When people record "tutorial" videos

They always try to make the form PERFECT

#

Which is wrong when it comes to teaching beginners

quasi scarab
fallen edge

#

If you notice me on the toe pulls afterwards

#

Definitely not perfect lmao

quasi scarab

# quasi scarab You think I'm strong enough for Freestanding HS?

handstands are pretty easy i think dont take too much strength. its best if the wall has like a mat, there are some gyms that have matted walls. face the wall and kick and rest your feet at the wall. keep your hands around shoulder width apart. idk i did gymnastics so thats how i learned

quasi scarab
#

hell yea gymnastics

#

3rd to calisthenics and weightlifting

quasi scarab
#

I'll js use a yoga mat as my padding for my neck snaps

rotund ivy
#

bro guys gymnastics is so different from girls its so cool theirs is more like ab strength+balance rather than flexibility+balance its really cool

#

really fun to watch
