As usual, very helpful. I'm 70, started my handstand journey 5 yrs ago, and been routinely doing 10-12 pike pushups as warmup. Can easily hold a normal down dog for >1 min & feet on wall HS 45-60 sec. After watching this video, I tried a down dog with bent arms for the 1st time & could barely hold it 20 sec. Seems like a good progression exercise for building the push strength I've been lacking.

The red marker was a neat alignment visual :)

This channel is quickly becoming my favorite. 3 weeks ago I started training handstand, 2 weeks in I have a shoulder impingement, so I'm sorta stuck in recovery but these vids get me excited to start up again (slowly though)

I think I get these concepts, but I’ve been handstanding for several years now.

I've started talking while doing these and it's making me better. Better breath control. Thanks Paul

Great video, thanks a lot! Very well explained. I'm 34 now and just starting to really get into this. It's really motivating to see it's never too late to start.
My goal is to master the L-sit to handstand progression. However seeing you do that bent elbow plank adds another goal to my list. Guess I'll start with practicing the toe float ^^.

Wait… is this just a second channel for your videos that are more suitable for people over 40 ?

I'm here too coach! Great lesson! I've found I have the flexibility but not the strength so I'm working it 💪

When a man casually talks to you in that position, you better listen to him 😂

@tusharskanadan3477 5 months ago

Don't know why I always have a pain in my left shoulder when doing push exercises 😢

@bobmarley3417 5 months ago

Excellent video! Thank you very much
But how do I build the strength now for this? Is it just pike push ups? What about wall assistet handstand push ups?
