Earlier this year I was dating somebody who introduced me to the idea that handstands would be a great challenge (she could already successfully carry them out).

Sadly we didn’t work out but the challenge remains.

For the record I’m 53, 5’11” and around 78 kilos.

I’m in good shape: I run 5k at least every day, kettlebell swing most days, dips every other day and do yoga twice a week and Pilates.

I’ve so many handstand video techniques saved I feel I have hit a choice block.

So I’ve decided to just try like push ups. I can currently do 4 x 15 on my toes (arms 90 degrees then push my nose forward to the ground).

Would you suggest I keep doing this for a while to build up strength?

I feel I’m way off an actual handstand although I tried flicking my feet up recently in a yoga class and it felt surprisingly light.

Worth progressing to feet on wall soon?

Appreciate there’s not a great deal of info here but it’s my physical challenge for this year so any help most welcome!

Hey all.

Been a while ace I’ve visited Matt and Phreads and was thinking of going Saturday.

There’s an option to book a table early evening so I guess this for a ‘ringside view’ plus a reservation for food?

Thinking of meeting a friend there but conscious little talking will get done….or actually would be a nice thing to do (and could leave after a couple of hours anyway, or talk between muscat breaks?)

Not quite sure what the set up is!

Thanks!
