HANDSTAND MOTIVATIONAL MONTH 2017! Join us today, and get INVERTED

@ering M, 20, 191 cm, 87 kg

Goal: Consistent freestanding handstands. 7-12s

Current Progression: Back to wall handstand. I have the strength and flexibility but I lack the balance to stay inverted for long.

I will be practicing kick ups for sets of 10 before my 5x5 training and will do back to wall handstand on my rest days for total volume of 30s. Wrists are a weak point but haven't had issues with them in months.

Formcheck: Coming soon...

@ering Stats: Male, 6'1", 160lbs

Goals: Finally learn a kickup handstand and work on shoulder mobility.

Current Progression: I can hold a chest to wall handstand but with a banana back :-(
I also have a fear of kicking up to a handstand even with a wall. My body is just terrified of that motion. If anyone has any extra advice besides the video posted in the thread I would appreciate.

@sjam Can you post a video for form check?

@ering Eagle arms stretch was worth the price of admission. Wowzers.

@ering I love the motivational month posts! Just now finding out about this handstand one.

Stats: Male, 6'2", 20 years old

Goal: Be able to consistently hold FSHS for 30 secs.

Current Progression: Wall handstand for 60 secs, 2-3 reps with a short break. Able to find balance free-standing 80% of the time but only for 2-5 seconds, best is probably 10.

PS here is a pic of my doing a handstand on a stand-up-paddleboard.
