Handstand training
I've got some decent control in the handstand with just doing attempts but my progress is stalling now. My max hold time is 20 seconds and usually I get the perfect stacked position but other times my feet are out of line behind my back and I am not aware of that during the hold. I feel I really wack awareness and control outside the thin balance window and this makes my HSPU balance very inconsistent. How do you guys suggest I train at this point to make further progress - shoud I do just holds, drills, experiment with shapes or smth? I would appreciate some cues how to incorporate this in my split - pull push rest repeat.
🔍 What's ONE cue that instantly improved your training?
Sometimes a single coaching cue can make a bigger difference than months of random practice. It could be something like: ✅ "Elevate shoulders" in a handstand. ✅ "See the planche as pushing away the ground instead of just leaning" ✅ "Depress your shoulders" in the front lever. ✅ "Use paralletes to minimize pressure on the wrist" in all skills What's one cue that suddenly made an exercise or skill click for you? If you're a beginner, share a cue you've heard that you're focusing on right now. If you're more experienced, help someone else by sharing something that transformed your training. 💬 Drop your cue below and explain why it helped. You might be the reason someone else finally breaks through their plateau.

Learning that in the handstand is not only about the upper body like opening sholders and balancing with yout wrists but you have to think what your lower body is doing. Specifically the cue about posterior pelvic tilt helped me get a straight line
🏆 What do you think is the most underrated exercise in calisthenics?
An exercise that doesn't get enough attention but has helped your progress massively. Drop your answer below and tell us: 1. What is the exercise? 2. What skill or strength it helped you improve? Who knows, you might end up giving another member the missing piece they've been looking for 👇

Hollow body hold - probably the best when it comes to building core strength, endurance and proper engagement for skills but you would hardly see it in those trendy abs training videos
Stretching
So I was searching for a 5 min routine for every day so i can stretch and make my body more mobile. But I heard a thing about stretching for warm up dynamics are the best and after the workout for cool down the static stretching is said to be the best. Is that true? If yes can you guys tell me some kind of stretchings? I want to be more mobile😅.

Mathew Smith has a very good free mobility master class. It's about an hour long video from which you can learn more about training for flexibility and mobility. P.S. It's not on YouTube you have to search it in browser
Help designing a training plan
I’ve gotten back into a regular training schedule, but I’m wondering if I should change it. I’m trying to increase my pull-ups, learn the muscle up, and learn the front lever. I still want to do some form of hand stand pushup training aswell. Could someone please help me make a training plan? I can train 5-6 days a week currently. My current stats are the following: 10 pull-ups 15kg pull-up 8 chest to bar pull-ups 15dips 20kg dip 15 second hand stand hold 25 pushups 5 pike pushups One leg front lever Tuck planche

You can do push pull (legs if you want). On pull days you start with the hardest exercises (front lever progressions and weighted pull ups) then you can do pull ups and since you want to learn the muscle up it's better to train with lower reps pulling high and explosive and you can finish with rows or whatever complementary exercise. On push days I suggest you start with handstand pushups training including pike push ups, then switch to dips and finish with push ups. For the whole workout I would suggest taking longer rests between exercises for maximum strength performance (2 min at least) and train up to 5 times a week with planned rest days for your needs.
