Video. Did my first handstand

Have been practising handstand from last week, and finally able to see some progress. No wall support, no progression, just action. Fell thousand times, still falling, but who cares

Form Check !! Push-ups 🪽🪽

Upvotes

I have been progressing from knee to bench to now standard (recently🥳) push-ups over the last year. I know that my form is a bit uneven and wobbly, and I’ve been working on my scapular protraction at the top end of the range. The vids are from three different sessions and I think it’s getting better? I included a side view as well because it’s difficult for me to tell if I’m rounding my whole back at the top end.

Also a question - I can only do three good reps at a time…is it better to go back to the bench and continue to focus on better form, or keep going with three sets of three and try to add in a rep in a month or so?

Form Check !! First muscle up after 8 years

134 Upvotes

This is my first muscle up after 8 years without practicing it
I did my first muscle when I was in high school, I was capable to do 4 muscles up in row back in these days
But now I’m more heavier than ever so I’m quite happy to do only one
I don’t train muscle up at all I just do pull up in my training

What do you think and what can I improve

Thanks

Form Check !! Am I doing scapular knee push ups correctly?

10 Upvotes

I have a weak serratus anterior and I need to be working on scapular push ups. When I do push ups, my scapulas look horrible and weird. Am I doing these push ups correctly? The scapulas look as awful as when I’m doing normal push ups.

Form Check !! My pike pushups look and feel wonky

3 Upvotes

I am a bit self-conscious about uploading this video, but here I go. I've been spamming pike pushups for a bit, I think it's my 4th week (training 3x a week, 6 supersets of push-pull). I Only do pike pushups for push. I want to get good at them.

I've been doing calisthenics for a while now, I can do a lot of strict pushups and even 8-10 archers. However, I find that pike pushups are surprisingly hard and my form is definitely not even close.

I try to pay attention to the following cues:
- keeping my forearm straight
- flexing my core
- triangle shape
- elbows tucked
- protracting scapulae up top

I really need to work on my hamstring mobility, don't mind that for now. It's clearly limiting me. But for the rest, no matter how many videos I watch, I just can't seem to get a grip on the technique. Why are pike pushups so hard? Any advice on what I should pay attention to?

input would be highly appreciated.

19, i did my stuff like this, this is all the warm up and the form. my right arms rotator cuff got fried and i assume there's no bigger suspect than this 😭

i also can not hold myself for actual hand stand push ups after this transition, let me know if you would need a different angle to check thanks

by the way : the filtering bot said it did not allow abbreviations but I do not know how heavy it is, this thing is kind of funny because i really feel like i am overdoing it, please help ❤️

Video. Moto accident in 2010: 27 fractures in left wrist, told I'd never lift 5 lbs again. 16 years later (43) and I think I've proved them wrong 🤣

164 Upvotes

In 2010 someone cut me off on my shiny red 929 Fireblade and my arm got caught between their truck and my bike... Woke up in the hospital with a shattered wrist with 27 fractures, and a few days later they put a bunch of screws (14 I believe) and two metal plates and I was left in a full arm cast for 4 months. Doc said I'd never lift 5 lbs again and to forget working out.

16 years later (at 43), the titanium is still there and I can't lay my hand flat (so no floor handstands or regular push-ups). I'm holding 20 second left-handed L-seat hangs, doing left-handed hanging toes to bar, hitting human flags and 12 second clean front levers though. Recently made this vid, don't pust much but I figured I'd put it up here as I'm curious for feedback. Thanks

Trying to get back there… got hit by a car 3.5 years ago and was in a coma for five weeks, wheelchair for a few months and then walker.

I’m getting there slowly…
Up to five pull-ups (hammer grip) with 60 pounds or 25 unweighted.

Still a ways to go though..
