@tony007 Cheers mate :)

@jbolady Sorry! I mixed it up, I mean frog stand! I have edited the post.

@havert Yes! Precisely! And I did watched some videos from school of calisthenics (the guy in your pic). He gave some really good insights into how to incorporate frog pose into your handstand training. And glad the timeline helped. The purpose is to put things into perspective and let people...

@dawn16 I realised I had enough shoulder strength but not enough wrist mobility when I found out I can do almost 1 minute of handstand hold against wall (back to wall) but can't resist the tendency to fall forward when I did handstand kick ups. I did frog pose to test my hypothesis and found it...

@lyteside Thank you for sharing your experience and I'm glad you find the tips useful. Keep training and I can't wait to see you do your first press to handstand :)

@dawn16 Thanks for the support bro :) Im still far away from 100% tho...

@donkeyb Thanks man I really appreciate that!

@lawrenceconner Wow that is very impressive already!! My goal now is to do a clean handstand pushup and focus on holding a straighter handstand.

@scottz66 One cue I find very useful is don't allow your scapula to collapse when your shifting weight to your shoulders :) I skipped the press to handstand negative cos i find it too hard...

@cbsmel I studied political and legal philosophy when I was at uni. I focused particularly on perfectionism, ancient Chinese thoughts and liberalism. But the books that influenced me most are Nietszche's Genealogy of Morals and Foucault's Discipline and Punish.

@scottz66 I saw this guy on who posted the other day saying he did 1 minute handstand in 3 months...that kinda put things into perspective. But mate, ur right. We are in the same game just different levels, same hell just different devils. I did a lot of handstand press against wall. Do plenty...

@lieniitte I follow this routine recommended by gabo saturno, not in full but some of them just for warmup.

@dawn16 Yes I do wrist prep every time. It's a must if you want to your handstand to sustain a wider range of motion. Stretch your wrist flexors in particular.

@pjdykeman Bro have faith. Just remember you might not be able to do those moves now, but once you could do them, people will find them more impressive given your weight and height. There are a lot of heavyweight calisthenics athletes out there like fitnessfaq and dominik sky, if they can do it...

@cbsmel Yea spot on bro. It's not a strength move so it couldn't be done with the strength building way. It involves balance, coordination and mobility. That's why maximising upside down time is so important cos only by doing that, u have time to focus on building mind muscle connection. Happy...

I know my progress is really slow and not impressive at all compared to others. But I put in hard work like many others, just not as smart. I have made many stupid mistakes and used ineffective training methods. Yet it also means I could share these mistakes with you guys so hopefully nobody...

@philadelphiastory Whats cars?

@prodie53 Volume that is in the hypertrophy range build or maintain your muscles. So id suggest you do low reps high pull ups at the start of your training , then go on to train the regular pull ups for the sake of maintaining the volume and intensity necessary for muscle gain.

@sunflowerbee 😉

@blessedbree7 Thanks for your input. But i wrote 10 pull ups is the entry level for 1 muscle up. I couldnt do 10 muscle ups myself...
