youre fat
How did you learn handstand? Can't get into it despite training for a long time
Not him but practice on the wall. Keep your abs and glutes tight. Practice hollow body holds. Warm up and strengthen your wrists.
I'm doing just that, but I'm barely increasing my time freestanding. I feel like I'm missing something
Are you doing variations that slowly remove you from the wall?
What I'm doing is pressing palms of my hands into the ground to distance my legs from the wall, try to stay upright for as long as I can and then I let myself fall onto a wall again. I also sometimes just hold one leg on wall and then pull it to the leg in the air and hold for time.
I've been training for months and still can only get maybe three seconds.
You're doing everything right to the tee. What's your pressing strength like? Do you have a training history outside of calis?
Before calisthenics I would OHP 1pl8 for reps. With wall I can do about 10 HSPUs
I'll try that, thanks
Fuark dude. I got my first free HSPU with pressing strength similar to yours. I'm betting there is some technique issue at play. If you feel comfortable, post a form vid.
Can't currently as I'm busy as frick rn and I have never recorded myself training. Will definitely start doing it now tho, maybe I'll notice what I'm doing wrong.
Who knows.
Maybe you're kicking too hard. Maybe you're too scared of falling. Leave the wall for now. Do freestanding handstands. Video record yourself and try to see what's wrong. You're not supposed to kick too hard to the position. Try to fix your imperfections by watching your own videos. Keep straight position, control with your hands, body engaged.
Just incorporate both weightlifting and calisthenics in your routine and you’ll be fine.
>back day, weighted pull-ups
>chest day, weighted dips
>leg day, some type of explosive jumping movement (lunge jumps, box jumps, frog jumps, etc)
>shoulder day, handstand pushups (use a wall)
>arm day, chin-ups (focused more on curling yourself to the bar rather than pulling yourself up) and dips (lean forward a little for better tricep activation)
I'm 300lbs and goal is to be able to do a full muscle up.
See you in 15 years, bros.
First work up to at least 10 pull ups, the more the better
Then start pulling to chest
Then start using bands and slowly use thinner ones. At that point, it will be easy
1 year to lose the chub
1 year to gain strength and condition your joints/pre-hab
3-6 months to grind the skill itself
Eezy. I know you can make it, anon.
This are exercises that middleschoolers are supposed to do
>trust me bro strict muscle up is a novice exercise, there's this chinese 10 year old girl in youtube doing it
>no, it doesn't matter if that's something that 95% of the world population can't do
Noob here, what's a good way to train the lower body with cali?
I've been following the Start Bodyweight progression for a few weeks now, seeing some good improvements but I feel like everything's too upper body focused besides the squats. I tried adding in some 40+ reps calf raises from my physio days every day I'm not training plus some cardio but I wonder if there's anything else I can do.
Eventually I'm planning on incorporating some dumbbell exercises, maybe springing for a kettlebell or a barbell but not right now.
I guess lunges also provide some more exercises to do
if you don't have lots of money and room, a 53lbs kettlebell will take you a long way
plenty of squat variations to do lots of volume to failure
kettlebell swings are a God tier hip hinge movement too
If you got a place to anchor your feet, nordic curls and reverse nordic curls are an option.
If you don't want to use weights, you can also get some of more heavy resistance bands, they can also be very useful.
>can't get any sort of progress on planche
So I guess I should just focus on the front lever this year, I'm almost at straddle.
