How I learnt handstand?

I know its little hard to achieve a good handstand. Here ill discuss about various exercises which literally helped me to achieve handstand.

First we have to find which all muscles are most important for handstand.

• Core : core play an important role as if its well trained and conditioned it stabilises the lower body when you’re upside down.
• Forarms (flexor muscles): if you don’t got enough strength in your wrists you won’t able to achieve stability no matter how much you train your core.

Exercises:( these are the ones which i found best but you’re free to choose any other exercises if it could do the job)

1. For core: situps, tow touch, hanging vipers, sprints, L sit and L hang.
2. For wrist: formarm flexor curl, assisted handstand hold for 3-5mins in sets, pushups weighted, benchpress.

Now by having good strength you could achieve a handstand but it will not be straight as it should be when someone’s performing a perfect handstand. Most people stuck in the arch postion of handstand. For that you have to work on other muscles.

• Deltoids (shoulder): this muscle work to add good posture when it is engaged properly like it is engaged in snatch.
• Strengthened Lower back and good flexibility: this thing work as catalysts to improve your handstand.

Exercises:( again these are the ones which i found best but you’re free to choose any other exercises if it could do the job)

1. For deltoids: pike pushups, strict pullups for posterior deltoids, assisted handstand push-ups ( if possible), snatches , again assisted handstand while shoulder engaged and overhead squat (strange but yes)
2. For lower back and flexibility: superman exercises, good mornings with light weight, assisted tuck handstand and good stretching.

Well these are exercises you can follow. Other than this you must follow the progression of handstand just like other movements of calesthenics. Pogression exercises are

1. Assisted handstand 5 min
2. L assisted handstand on wall or any platform
3. Single toe assisted handstand
4. Frog stand
5. When you are confident enough try to release the toe while doing single toe assisted handstand

I hope this will help you out if you found any other problems just let me know.😊
