Thanks,

it seems good, film from the back in order to check for the forearms that must be one parallele to the other...

Cool, thanks, I'll verify the other view as well. 

 

Now I'm slowly able to shift the weight from the wall to my hands:

IT IS BETTER to check first the back view. if you build up a bad forearms positioning then you have to spend time and time to correct it. technique first.

Hey - please review the front view:

• Set 1 (front view - slight flair)
• Set 2 (front view - bit better)
• Side view (for reference)

One thing I've learned is, I need to keep a bit far from the wall, otherwise I arch and sink into the wall too much.

Thanks as always!

hey Awais....as you can see..you tend to move the elbows to the side. once the forearrms reaches the vertical position it stays on this position...

Hey... This is the best I can currently do:; I find elbows back and forearms 100% vertical, really hard... is it a strength defecit?

strnght improvements are wlays linked to a technique improvement. here there are 2 technical problems: forearms and feet. forearms are not vertical and feet slide in a different way on the wall..

Okay, here is another attempt:

• front view
• side view

side view is fine...front view still private.

in the side view BIG MISTAKE. you lean wth the elbows toward the wall, in fact forearm is inclined.

Okay, I'll fix the mistake in the side view.

Can you see the below front view:

the mistake of the side view is noticeable also from here...

Okay, I understand all the issues now, I just need to recover and try again next session. Thanks!

Okay, let's try again; It didn't feel perfect, but it felt better than previous session:

Side view:
video 1
video 2

Front view:

hey Awais, lot of work to do....but trust me "rome wans't built it a day"...

side view: elbows are out from the perpendicular

front view: ESPECIALLY your right one is out of the vertical line also from the front view.

I'm trying to push my elbows in as much as I can: 

• front view

And I am also trying to keep a constant lean forwrad:

• side view

nicely done...

Thanks! Your attention to detail is always really helpful.

Quick question @Alessandro Mainente Do you give your students a particular measurement for distance from hands to the wall?

Also, keeping the elbows over wrists, and elbows-in results in a stronger bent-arm handstand hold; I can already see the carry over. 

Thanks!

well it depends on the distance between one hand and the other one...

generally speaking you must visualize during the handstand pushup how much you lean because uf you are in a wall handstand the feet cannot move behind it in order to balance the the upper body that moves in the opposite direction. so you should fine the proper distance so tht in the bottom part of the movement the weight that is behind the hands is the same of the weight after the hands..if conditions are different you will fall on your face...

Now I can rotate my elbows fully back:

front view

But it means reaching more forward with my head;



Hopefully this leads to better long term strength development.

probably this can be your position of the lower limbs since the mass on your upper body is more than the lower one.
