How to One Arm Handstand - First Steps

Free beginners One Arm Handstand Workout:

Doing a one arm handstand is easy. You do a regular handstand. You transfer over to one hand and you balance.
While the basic idea of it might seem simple anybody who has ever tried a one arm handstand know that unfortunately it is just not that. There are countless of moving parts and variables. When standing on 2 hands you mainly fall back and forth. On 1 hand you can fall in all 4 directions AND have to battle with rotation.
So yes. Starting to train for the one arm handstand might seem intimidating at first simply because there is so much going on and so much room for error.

That is why now it is more important then ever to have a solid game plan and well rehearsed approach. I've spend the last decade figuring exactly that out!

Step 1️⃣:
Make sure you are actually stable on 2 hands. Single leg isolations should be easy without you having to bend your elbows or make lots of corrections in general.

Step 2️⃣:
Side Bends. They are the first big hurdle that we have to over come so start working on them right away. We have to develop adequate strength, coordination and mobility. Start upright on your feet and then practice chest to wall. Make sure your hips and shoulders stay in line and you do not rotate. Externally rotate your legs and lock them in your hips.

Step 3️⃣:
Narrow Hand Handstand. When transferring from 2 hands to one they weight travels from the inside of the shoulder towards the outside and increases/eventually even doubles. We have to prepare the outside of the shoulders for that.

Step 4️⃣:
Miami handstand is what I call any kind of handstand when you have 1 hand on the block and 1 on the floor. For now we want to bend the block elbow so the shoulders and hips are both parallel to the floor.

Let me know how this is going for you and if you have any questions.

I was wondering for miami handstands, bend the arm and keep the hips parallel. I am sorrry if this is a silly question but why keep them parallel instead of one leg tilted as if simulating the one arm handstand leg position?
