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.

This one is personal. I grew up watching superheroes, anime characters, and video game heroes who could move freely, climb anything, jump rooftops, and use their bodies without limits. And somewhere along the way, we’re told that’s just fantasy. I still remember the first time I trained parkour outside. I was awkward. Not smooth. Not impressive. People stared. Some laughed. And I felt it. I remember telling people I wanted to do Ninja Warrior as an adult and getting that polite smile. “You mean… on TV?” “That’s nice.” You know the one. The kind that really means “That’s not realistic.” But here’s the part they don’t talk about. Most adults don’t stop dreaming because they don’t want it. They stop because they’re afraid to look silly. Afraid to fail publicly. Afraid to be judged for wanting more than a box, a routine, and comfort. Yet deep down, when they see someone training skills, hanging, flipping, balancing, trying something hard, something clicks. They think, “I wish I could do that.” And guess what... I did do that. I created a community in a hometown for parkour that got over 100 members to start moving. I started coaching to top athletes in Ninja Warrior to win international competitions I got to compete against Ninja Warriors that were on tv and win I got to start Awesome Ninja Fitness to help hundreds of people learn handstands and get stronger There were too many things to list that I was proud of. This community exists for people who hear that voice and refuse to ignore it. For adults who want to be stronger, more capable, more free in their body. Not to impress anyone. But to feel alive again. If you’ve ever felt out of place for wanting more. If you’ve ever been told to be realistic. If you’ve ever felt called to move, train, explore, and test yourself. You’re exactly where you belong. Who has decided they didn’t want to stay average anymore?

Ever wondered how your push-ups, pull-ups, pistol squats, or handstands stack up to the general population? We dug into the research to find real-world performance averages so you can benchmark your progress without comparing yourself to elite athletes or influencers. Let’s break it down 👇 Push-Ups (Full Range Reps) - Men 18–29: 17–29 reps - Women 18–29: 9–13 reps - Drops gradually with age (e.g. Men 50–59: ~9–17, Women: ~4–8) ✅ If you can do 20+ (men) or 15+ (women), you're already in “good” shape! Pull-Ups (Strict Form, Dead Hang) - Average Adult Men: 3–5 reps - Average Adult Women: 1–2 reps - Advanced (Men): 10+ reps | Advanced (Women): 6–8+ reps 🏆 Being able to do even one strict pull-up = above-average strength. 🔹 Pistol Squats (Single-Leg) - Most people can’t do a full one without training. - Average for trained individuals: - Men: ~13 reps per leg - Women: ~10 reps per leg - Advanced: 25+ reps per leg 🦵 1 clean pistol squat = solid lower-body strength & mobility. 🔹 Handstands (Hold Time) - Wall Hold (beginner goal): 30–60 seconds - Freestanding Hold Benchmarks: - Intermediate: 5–10 seconds 🤸‍♂️ Can’t do one yet? Wall handstands are a great place to build confidence and control. 🎯 Why This Matters Whether you’re a total beginner or well into your journey, it’s motivating to know where you stand (or hang, or handstand 😄). 💬 Curious where you land in these ranges?
