Handstand on paralettes
Has anyone tried handstand on paralettes? If so would you recommend the wooden ones that are closer to the ground to start with? I’m thinking I might need to start practising using them in the meantime whilst I work on finger rehab as it might be a while before it’s ready for flat palms on the ground, particularly with the finger control require for handstand.

@Zara Doering somehow for me was easier on paralletts compared to hands on floor. Probably because I used these a lot on push ups, these ones on image. Even today, I can make handstands for really longer compared to hands on floor, but putted time to make it in different surfaces and heights these days, so its not a limiting factor. I started on small ones, but as long as they are stable and can handle well bounces, you should be fine. You then control under and over balance using wrists. My favorite place now is on higher parallels! The same, bail a couple times from the paralletts and you get use to it quickly! Give a go with your paralletts, will only be scary the first kick ups 💪

Some minor injuries ain't gonna stop me!
Hey guys, great to be here. Been dealing with some minor tweaks but it's time to get my calisthenics fitness back once and for all. I got pretty good at it few years back and when I returned home to the rain it was no more outdoor gym so I got a bit lost. But now I'm back and ready to go. 🚀

New Here!
Hello everyone my name is Xavier, IG: @GetfitwithX_ I’m new to calisthenics but I’ve been actively I guess you’d say “body building” for the last 1-2 years but my main goal is to become hybrid and build more lean muscle instead of being bulky. A skill I’d like to learn is to perfect the muscle up without a kip as I am doing right now

Sounds you are doing great! But dont underestimate the high pull strength! Without balance really its one of the harder parts..its a combo indeed, but a clean strict MU really is demandinggg. Best and welcome!

Back and shoulder mobility and strength.
I was able to balance in forearm headstand. I still find the feel of the arm position really strange. I tried to lift vertically and not have so much weight pushing down on my head. I found my back muscles really having to work bringing my knees back to a tuck position. I have been practicing bridge with the support of the stability ball whilst pushing through my shoulders. I managed to push up into the bridge. Not pretty but I got up and worked on my shoulders without the aid of the stability ball.
