This is the most organized and scientific approach to handstands I've seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I could do head stand, really want to learn hand stand. This detail makes it easier to understand. Thank you so much for sharing! I will be 70 in March/ female. Don’t worry I promise I will not hurt myself. I do leg press 200lbs. I could carry dumbbells 40lbs each hands.

🇨🇦 Famtastic. JIust turned 50 and am ready to get fancy now that Im free standing. Am challenging my teens to do the 365 with me. Cheers Paul 👋

Outstanding information. I'm at a 10 second handstand but not consistent at all. Continue to fight under & over balance issues. Thanks for this excellent vid

[d.o.]

Never has a vid spoke so clearly to me. The way you've broken this down, with the 3 different communication styles, has left me knowing exactly what I need to do, great vid Paul

Your videos have been extremely helpful to work up towards a freestanding handstand. Not there yet, but still there. Specially the clarity on how to control under/balance is not that obvious and not as clear in other peoples videos.

I find Daily practices helps alot too! 🔥

[brucehelppie]

i follow many of your recommendations. the main one is the 365. i made it my focus in 2024 to diligently work on my handstand. i'm close to a 60 second stw hold (usually 40-55 seconds) and can do crow to hs most days and 20-25 second hs on days where my balance is decent. i'm going to continue this method in 2025. i have other calisthenics interests that divide my attention, so my progress isn't very linear. thanks for all your tutelage, paul.

You are awesome, dude. Handstands are powerful tools for permanent transformation. I like to keep it simple with some daily handstand walks in my house and freestanding holds, but press-ups are next level stuff! Salute from Holland ❤😊

[Joelfitness]

Thank you sir i have been waiting for this!

[flieget]

Watching your Vids for months now and they're such a great help. I wish you the attention you deserve with that level of quality.
Greetings from Germany :)

[krispoulton]

thanks Paul, it’s thanks to you that i can now do a freestanding HS. This year my goal is to learn to press as well as improve my straddle, tuck and pike entries. 365 let’s go!!

[elsonidoq]

Thanks sooo much for all your tips and advices Paul!

[MrRaphisan]

Wow great video to understand important handstand aspects. Thank you

[wincentkuma]

Working on a lot of skills. One workout a month on HS. Progressing through different exercises. I hope to be in the HSPU by the end of next year 💪

Paul, happy new year 🎉

[Hemesh-bf]

Really great explanation for handstand,

[seantaylor]

Awesome video Paul! Thanks very much 😊

[pliers]

Great video with digestible and practical information and advice

[paulmarshall]

The wall pulls in both directions are a great exercise to start building the ability to manage compensatory movements with wrists, shoulders, pelvis and feet. But you should also work on balance holds from the wall, using whatever shape makes it easiest for you to enter balance.

For example, you may be strong on chest/wall toe pulls, but may find it easier to enter balance one foot at a time, with a modest split. Or maybe in half-tuck with one toe on the wall.

When you move off the wall and start working on entries, you're adding a completely new step. You will have to manage all the momentum generated by the entry. So having spent time building balance holds on the wall will make the target you're trying to catch much more distinct.

Even after you start getting some decent holds in free space, it will probably be super helpful to keep doing some sets on the wall. Or conversely, you can add entries to your wall exercises when you're ready, but practice them as an additional skill, not an alternate form of entry vs. the wall.

Thanks for the comprehensive video. Of the many handstand videos out there, this is the first I've seen that even mentions the flexibility requirements! (I feel that if you don't have a good forward fold, handstands are a lot tougher -- the kickup seems like it would be much harder to control, if you're not in a decent position.) Your notes about a daily practice make a lot of sense. I'll start working with this. Cheers and best wishes! jz
