Headstand
I actually balanced in headstand my crow is getting better and longer im figuring out the balancing and keeping hips high knees tucked. I did a one arm hanger for a few seconds the othe hamd is weaker like maybe a second or 2. I dead hunged for o er a minute. And my handstands are getting better I can walk closer to the wall amd learning to bail without fear. Pretty good session today I basically just did some drills and warmed up shoulders.

Many gains there! congrats @Patricia Pepe, specially with the fear! 💪 I nevertheless feel always strange when hearing about headstands.. always imagine my neck hurting 🙄, so really never done those, but hopefully you are doing enough holding on arms, shoulders!
How many sets should I do?
I can do four reps of four sets with 4 min of rest but on my fifth and sixth set I can do three. Should I do the fifth and sixth set? Also do you need I need to add face pills and tricep isolation?

its really a sweet spot those sets of 4, 5 reps!
Bad news
Hi everyone, I’m going to have to take a long break from calisthenics. A week and a bit ago I suffered a vertebral artery dissection and it will take at least three months to recover from and I have to stop doing calisthenics or any weight lifting while it heals.

@Melody Gruber really hope for the best and that you recover soon! come back as soon as possible, not sure what is the level of rest you will need, hey but if possible do some walks, etc.. keeping some activity might help, even for your own mind! if the recommendation is not to stop fully. All the best
Greetings from Argentina!
Hi peeps! Landed here by pure chance and I'm already excited to see real people sharing your struggles and your progress. When I see those youtube videos of shredded guys making most exercises look so easy, it kind of turns me down and make me think I'll never get there. But watching you all taking baby steps towards a goal makes it so much real and achievable. Promise to share some videos of my progress soon. Would love if you shared how your first days with calisthenics looked like or maybe some words of encouregement.

Hi @Damian Wasser , yess, specially after starting you realize that is rare seeing online some real progress, and how hard it is for someone that does a move, to pretend it doesn't! Really, to me was about getting into a park with friends, and even doing other sports, push ups, etc.. I tried to do a pull up and realized I barely did 1! So, started to pass by that bar in the park and continued up to to the present but doing a lot more by just showing up. Keep strong and welcome!
Bailing
Absolutely petrified of bailing in handstand. So I thought I would go outside where there is more room and have a go. I have been practising jumping my feet up the wall as that scared me too and chest to wall petrifies me as well. I have practised walking my hands in to handstand as the first time I tried I couldn't get one hand to come off the floor 😂. Honestly, my heart was in my mouth just trying this! Definitely going to watch the handstand training video now!
