Richard Duelley Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Yep, handstands take a long time to develop properly, I have been able to do a dirty arched handstand for about 2 years and have just recently fixed it up (over the past year) so I can actually move forward with my handbalancing. Just try and practice every day if your body can take that kind of frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Whealing Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I have been doing handstands for about 10 months and can hold a free standing one for almost a minute. Last month I achieved a press to HS from frogstand and bent arm tuck planche. Use to practice every day for 5 to 10 minutes when I was only able to hold myself in a HS for a couple of seconds. Now its more about developing strength and flexibility to progress further, so now I work more on conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ido Portal Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 When you first learned how to stand, as a toddler, how much time did you devote to training it?All the time. Almost every waking hour during that period in your childhood you spend perfecting this skill.Standing on your hands is not different. One should spend a lot of time to perfect it. Dont expect from 10 min three times a week to reach complete mastery of this skill.When training in france with equilibre master Claude Victoria, I spent 8 hours a day training handstands only....As I often say - open up your work capacity and then use it!
