hey guys,

i have practically no strength in my arms, and im still only mastering ym handstands, i can do sum for like 5sec. if i lean up against a wall, i can go down like 5cm then push myself up but not any lower.

what workouts will help me to do them?

[sum1datbboys]

do pushups normally with your hands wider than shoulder width

[Vice President]

pushups will work out your pecs and shoulders. if you want handstand strength, practice handstands. that's what i did for a really long time. i just wanted to get really comfortable in handstands, so i just stood around all day on my hands. same goes for planches and everything else.

thanks fellas,
one more question

when people say push on ur fingers to push u back to the way u came from, i can do that, sorta, but how do u push the other way so u go over onto ur back??

[sum1datbboys]

i think you just lean your legs that way and sorta lift your fingers up.

>_> Use your fingers like 'grab' the floor. Also, don't use your legs to move, use your hips. Also, use your hips for turning as well as your feet and legs. Its a full body motion for best results.

if u falling foward, push on fingertips and if ur going backwards push with the ball of ur hands basically. once u get to the point where ur like push push push back and fourth, u can hold it for longer times

thanks guys, ill have to try it soon....

just stacked my bike, my legs are rooted for the moment

[bboy hypno]

how many can antone do? i can do about 5 cheap handstand pushups and like 2 or 3 real ones.

[B-Radical]

i can do like 2 real ones, maybe 4 or 5 crap ones... my back is starting to hurt over the past few nights when ive been practising...this good or bad?

[BboyRash]

depends, if it hurts a lot for a long time... usually bad. Like always, don't overdo it (too much anyways :P)

[B-Radical]

nah i think its a good thing. it only stops me from doing handstands for a couple of mins

[Xan-Man]

Against a wall or not?

I can do about 10 against a wall, all the way down until my head hits the ground, up to straighten my arms. I can't balance in a handstand well enough to do more than 1 or 2 not against a wall. But I'm working on that...

[ToMmY g]

when i started doin handstand pushups i could hardly do one azn i kept doin them and eventuallly, as expected, i got stronger an could go down more...like vp said the more u do them the stronger u will become

[BboyRash]

Only do handstand pushups against a wall so that you can get them down. After that, practice without a wall on grass preferably. I suggest that you try handstands for a long time. One thing that helps is to try to keep your form perfect when against the wall.
