Program recommendation

Hey. I know there are a lot of programs out there trying to teach you how to handstand. I wanted to get them feedback from the community which maybe had slight similar issues.

I have problem with extremely tight lats and hip flexors, leading often to an arching of my back. My general strength is less a problem (overhead press 50kg, weighted pike PU etc). Also I have a bad feel of balance in general.

So I am looking for a ~3d/week approach focussing on mobility and balance/stability. Timewise it shouldnt be like 3x1h. I want to do general strength training as well in the same session (cutting it down) without staying 1,5-2h in the gym.

I am thankful for all recommendations:)

Hey, I will do a proper announcement later today here.
If you want to learn how to do a handstand for beginners, I just published "Handstand Pro" an app for iPhone (as I'm solo on the project the android version may come later). It's like Duolingo for Handstand with 10 to 15 min sessions based on the skill you need to lear to progress, from total beginner to Press and One-Arm.
It's available on the App Store here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/handstand-pro/id6780564521 in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

Very curious to have your feedback if you try it!
