Deins Drengers Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I would like to know the strength difference on the rings and the P-bars. Also would 15-20 reps full ROM, good form freestanding HSPU on P-bars be considered impossible ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikkel Ravn Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 The world record is ~160, I believe, made by one of Coach's acquaintances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Pavlovic Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 The world record is ~160, I believe, made by one of Coach's acquaintances.Im pretty sure i read that this was done with wall support. And i think it was less then 160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Léo Aïtoulha Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 https://www.gymnasticbodies.com/forum/topic/8398-how-to-balance-for-handstands-on-parallel-bars/ Handstands on the parallel bars are controlled via adjustments in the wrists rather than the fingers as on floor. A Ring Handstand however is a completely separate animal and one that I recommend that you leave until later in your GST development as it has nothing to do with handstands on either the floor or the parallel bars. Yours in Fitness, Coach Sommer Balance wise - yes, strength wise - no. Ring strength, which ring handstands are part of, is a completely separate animal with its own list of prerequisites and progressions. Yours in Fitness, Coach Sommer Freestanding HSPU on the floor/on PB is covered in the Foundation Series. Thus, this is a beginner exercise. Ring HSPU is probably covered in Ring Two. Thus, this is an intermediate exercise. About the 163 HSPU. Dedication speaks for itself. At age 50, Coach Sakamoto performed 163 consecutive, full range of motion, handstand pushups. And he remained in a free balancing handstand for 30 minutes during those HSPU! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Im pretty sure i read that this was done with wall support. And i think it was less then 160. You would be wrong on both counts. Free standing on paralletes. Over 160 full HSPU reps. He was in a free handstand the entire time (approx 30 minutes).Yours in Fitness,Coach Sommer 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biren Patel Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Coach, what benefits are there from such a high amount of HSPU's, and do you think that the time required to achieve this goal outweighs the benefits conferred? What level of HSPU endurance do you think is most beneficial to strive for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 The benefits of high rep HSPU are enormous. However for most of you this is so far away from your current capabilities that discussing it is more like science fiction than productive training advice.Let's make the question more basic and consider only HeSPU against the wall; a far easier skill. To my mind if you are unable to perform 30+ reps of wall HeSPU in single set, you are a beginner. Plain and simple.Just to keep this in perspective, I used to keep Allan company by doing sets of 35rep HeSPU against the wall with him when he was 7 years old. With me teasing and laughing with him the entire time. Yours in Fitness,Coach Sommer 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnicky Roy Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 15 handstand push up full rom: https://youtu.be/JRmsDjMujjoSeeing how this dude scored 15, I don't have trouble believing an elite athlete and coach did 160. I'd just imagine handstands were his specialty and that he did plenty of ring handstand work. Going from unstable exercise to a super stable movement makes a world of difference.

Coach, Handstand wallruns and now HeSPU and beyond have been discussed, where would you like us to take our handstands after 2min? not to detract from first things first, only curious as to what goals to have for the future.

Connor Davies Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Is there video proof for this? Nobody even comes remotely close on youtube etc. 160 is simply insane...Yeah by all accounts the dude was actually crazy.He once did a thousand handstand push-ups in a day because he was bored.He would do a 5-10 second one arm handstand immediately after waking up every morning, and if it wasn't perfect he would do it again and again until it was.He basically just did a massive rep set of handstand push-ups 4 days a week, on top of other training. Added a rep or two every few months.Seriously obsessive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keilani Gutierrez Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 hey keilani, PRESS HANDSTAND!!!! Press Handstand upper limits has been discussed to take up from 5 reps to 10 reps, Coaches athletes he's mentioned were doing 16-18 upto 30 reps. 50 could be an ideal to work upto. but im refering to Freestanding handstand.

Alessandro Mainente Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 At the end of HBP F4 you will able to perform 25+ hespu in a row...I did a sort of game with my friend that is a national member, he did 71 hspu in 5 minutes. first time i've tried i did 69, then 4 week after i did 74. No miracles, alignment and correct movement give the minimum forces dispersion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajesh Bhat Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Are you sure it's 25 and not 5x5 with rest? 5x5 with rest is a whole other story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Aiken Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 You'll have 5x5r HeSPU not even half way through F3. Alex is referring to 25 HeSPU in a row, meaning a single set. I'd assume the mad gains he's gotten through his HBP training have carried over very well to HeSPU strength and work capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you finished the mastery for HBP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I usually do the hespu on the wall in they are a part of warm up, I prefer to vary my warmup, sometime is HBP, sometime Hespu, sometime pressing blended set. The rest position is the handstand position.No, I have not yet completed the HBP since my goal is 40 kg in the last IM of F4, meanwhile i'm playing with weighted HBP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
