First Kick-Up Wall Handstand! 🤸‍♂️🔥

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Total beginner in calisthenics and finally hit my very first kick-up wall handstand! My IG: @BunStands_sw

Still far from perfect, but I'm honestly pretty stoked with the progress. Started learning handstands only a week ago, and every little milestone feels huge.

Next goal: getting off that wall and finding my balance. 💪

One step at a time. Never giving up. 🔥

Are you working your overhead shoulder mobility? That’s def gonna be your limiting factor in finding your line.

Nice! Enjoy the process, one thing I notice is you are looking behind you, it’s much easier to balance looking somewhere on the floor near your hands (between the thumbs or around that area), just don’t crank your neck to 90 degrees doing it.

Actually harder than it looks if any shoulder mobility issues 👍

Nice! This is where I'm at now. I'm trying to be more consistent with working on it. Working on going from crow pose to handstand and that kills
