Strength Workout using HandStands

Timed handstands are another really overlooked way of getting your body set up to increase its strength significantly, lets face it if its good enough for gymnasts and look how strong they are !Especially the guys on the rope ring routines in the air, Amazing. Start out with this good strength workout exercise by simply finding a open stretch of wall (if indoors take your shoes off)

Then place your hands on the floor and practice gently pushing up into the basic handstand position, if you are not used to doing this spend a few days just doing this Just placing hands down and gently flipping up into the basic handstand position and down again After a few days doing this place your hands down and flip up gently into position This is a great strength workout.

Then hold this position for say 20 to 30 seconds or whatever you can do but remember I want you to do this 3 times per session, so 3 times 20 seconds is better than 40 30 and 10 try to hold for the same amount of time for each rep

After a few sessions of doing this you will find that you can do longer timed holds with this and maybe progress to being able to hold the 3 sets for 1 or 2 minutesYou will be building up nicely so here is another challenge for you to try and build up on as well but still keep doing the timed holds ok .

Do a set of Timed holds against the wall then do a set of Pushups in the normal shoulders width apart legs straight behind you and holding your abs in tightly, you will build up to where you can do a timed handstand set combined with a pushup set of 6 to 10 and do this for for 3 sets for a while again if you can only do 2 to 6 pressups that is absolutely fine.

You will build this up to where you can do the double sets quite comfortably and you will start to see noticeable results in a few short weeks if you keep up doing the work, always remember it is no good starting this and expect to see results if you let it go and only train once a month, three times a week with a days rest in between will do just fine and also eating the right diet will help tremendously with your strength workout
