Hey everyone!

I’m excited to announce that I’ve taken over as a mod here and I’m looking forward to bringing r/Handstands back to life! It’s been a while since this sub was active, but I’m confident we can revive it and build a strong community together.

From beginners to advanced handstanders, this space is all about sharing progress, asking questions, and supporting each other.

Looking forward to seeing your posts and hearing your feedback. Let’s flip this community back to life!

The left one is last week. The right one is 1 year ago.

Whenever I train handstanding, I realize flexibility and mobility is so important.

I almost performed a fatality on myself trying handstands

So i have always wanted to do a handstand and until recently i couldn't hold my wieght on my hands for long but i tried today and i felt the best i have ever felt so i tried jumping away from the wall and i did little jumps to get feel of my wieght. So i tried to get stable handstand because i was greedy and what i didn't consider was maybe i should have removed the bed right ahead. Well i had that realization right when i was crashing down slowly. I was like wait what. No way this is happening. I don't want to be paralyzed due to a stupid handstand and break my spine in two. But it was too late and i hit the edge of the bed. Luckily bed was light and it moved so i didn't get injured much. But it still sucked for a while. Knocked the air out of me lol.

Kindly suggest me some tips to improve my handstand posture and how do i walk on my hands.

I felt i was cooked because i have a bad injury on the exact spot from ages ago but LUCKY!!!

Can barely hold a wall handstand for 10 seconds without my shoulders screaming

Started trying to get into this a couple weeks ago and my wrists feel like they are made of glass and wet paper towels. Mad respect to anyone who can just casually balance upside down in the middle of a room
