Razz Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Well it sorta goes like this:HS with feet around strapsHS with feet on the inside of strapsPlay around with removing one foot or slowly tapping feet together and back to the straps until you can balance.It takes a loooooooooooong time to learn so you should probably prepare for some falls eventually.

Michael Traynor Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Set your rings nice and close to the ground, I guess this is presupposing you have a solid freestanding HSPU? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Carr Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 How long should you be able to hold a handstand against a wall before progressing to xr handstands with feet on straps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Traynor Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 against the wall meaning that you are leaning against the wall or are you able to HS free standing using the wall occassionally to aid balance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Carr Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Leaning against wall with your toes/heels (stomach or back to wall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razz Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Oh you can also lower the rings to the ground and touch the floor with your fingers to help balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon Zrike Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Ring handstands are completely different than floor handstands, and no amount of floor handstands will make your ring ones better. That being said if you can not hold yourself in the proper handstand position on floor, there is no way you will be able to on rings. Hope that makes sense.

Alessandro Mainente Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 the handstand on the floor or on the wall is not a problem, anso the free hanstand push up..on the wall i can hold it fo 3 minutes and halfon the floor at at least 2 minutes, without walking on the hands, and with locked elbows...straddle position or with united legs is indifferent for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said if you can not hold yourself in the proper handstand position on floor, there is no way you will be able to on rings. Hope that makes sense.yep, this is all too true. Right now I am more solid in a one arm handstand on floor than handstand on rings. Though I don't work rings handstands very often. Really there is really no way to prepare for ring handstands other than doing them a lot. If you are not used to rings then spend plenty of time building up a solid pushup position and support/l-sit on them. For the handstand, concentrate on turning the rings out and pulling your shoulders back. to actually balance, you are going to be moving the rings forward and backward underneath your center of gravity using your shoulders. It is very difficult so be prepared to fall on this one a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Sjolin Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 It is very difficult so be prepared to fall on this one a lotThis gives me the fear. You see, my set up (right now) is such that if I fall, I'm going to come crashing into a concrete wall, floor, and sharp cornered squat rack. The hardest part is getting into the handstand, which I do by getting into a headstand and "climbing" up the straps with my feet.Would it be a good idea to wait until more ideal conditions arise, or just get someone to hold the rings steady as I kick up?

Dillon Zrike Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 You will fall once you start taking your feet off the straps....I still fall. I would recommend a safer area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Sjolin Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I guess that means waiting another eight months...and purchasing some sort of mat...ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairbob Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 get an old futon or mattress or a bunch of cheapo couch pillows from Target. Or just hang them from a tree or playground. Ground or sand isn't exactly comfortable to land on but it's better than metal stuff and a wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 i use very very old bed....in this way when i'm toooo tired i fall down and i sleep immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sternford Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 How helpful is one of these?I know nothing is a substitute for the real thing, but our gym has one or two and it's an interesting experience. And right now I can't get into ring handstands because the pressing hurts my chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground or sand isn't exactly comfortable to land on but it's better than metal stuff and a wall.This is good advice with low rings for HS practice, just don't mistake matresses for crash matts as you can do some serious damage to yourself putting too much trust in mattresses as this is not what they are designed for, particularly tumbling and coming down from high rings in a hurry.Don't get me wrong infinitely more preferable than concrete, just be careful that's all.

Handstand on one of those is pretty easy to master compared to an actual ring handstand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
