š„ Handstands: Stuck at 1ā2 Seconds? (*Trying Something New)
Alright, this is me officially pressing the āGo Liveā button and seeing what happens š Posts are great⦠but sometimes video just works better, especially for skills and concepts where seeing and hearing it makes things click. Thatās how I learn, and I know a lot of you are the same. So moving forward, Iām 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 weāll absolutely be doing more of these if itās helpful. š This video is all about handstands. Specifically, the most frustrating stage almost everyone gets stuck at. 𤸠Handstands: Stuck at 1ā2 Seconds? This Is For You If this sounds familiar: - You can kick up⦠but only hold it for a second or two - Youāre good against the wall, but freestanding feels impossible - Youāve been āalmost thereā for weeks or months Cool. Youāre not broken, youāre 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 isnāt magic balance⦠itās teaching your nervous system how to fall and fix it before you hit the ground. š What I Cover in the Video ā
Why falling over and over is actually normal (and necessary) ā
The idea of overbalancing vs underbalancing ā
Handstand ābouncesā (one of the most effective, no-BS drills) ā
Chest-to-wall vs back-to-wall (and why banana shapes slow progress) ā
How to train balance corrections instead of just attempts ā
Simple setups using a wall, objects, elastics, or a spotter ā
How this is the real bridge from 1ā2 seconds ā 5ā10+ seconds This is that wall everyone hits. Once you get through it, progress speeds up fast. š§ How to Use This - Add the wall bounces into your handstand sessions (5ā10 reps) - Use them before freestanding attempts while youāre fresh - If handstands are your priority ā focus on getting in + staying in - Fancy drills = optional. - Consistent, smart reps = undefeated.
