Nella prime due foto sono in pump e sto posando, nella terza e quarta non sto posando più (e già la differenza è enorme), nelle ultime due è come appaio irl con luci brutte.
Forse nel mio caso la differenza è più estrema essendo alto 193cm (per 95kg attualmente, 18% bf, mi alleno per sport da combattimento principalmente, 22 anni), ma penso che il senso generale valga per tutti.

Ovviamente sto parlando per persone natural e non con livelli di tiraggio estremi anche se in quel caso si è ancora
più “piccoli” in termini di volume.
Sarà coping ma per la mia esperienza si può essere natural, grossi e tirati, ma se ne possono scegliere solo due insieme.

Just stumbled across this sub and I must say, you guys are impressive as hell!
I am nowhere near the level of so many amazing people here, so my humble advice is more gathered towards beginners who are struggling to get a grasp of being upside down.

For context, I’m 6’4 210lb (193cm ~95kg), never trained handstands specifically, and can still hold one for roughly 40 sec to 1 min consistently.
Of course my lack of specific training shows, my form is kind of ass, but still my point was just that I think judo/wrestling movements like these (walking on handstands, handstand rolls, bridge to handstand and viceversa) are very underrated to learn handstands.
I feel like even done a bit dirty they still get you used to being upside down and feeling your body, which of course is fundamental in grappling but also in gymnastics.
Also, starting from headstands (common in grappling for neck conditioning) can also help a lot to grasp how hands work in shifting weight forward and back.
In heavier weight classes these movements are severely under-practiced, online you can find lighter grapplers doing crazy flips in warm ups like it’s nothing.
Severely underrated form of training imo!

Let me know what you guys think
