How To Do A Handstand: From the Basic Exercises To The Free Standing Handstand Pushup

by Patrick Barrett

How To Do A Handstand is the only resource you need if your goal is to be able to hold a handstand, and even do handstand pushups, without leaning against a wall. Handstand training can help you develop tremendous upper body strength, as well as a great sense of balance and body awareness--but it also offers something that a lot of exercises can't. It's actually fun. If you've made it your goal to be able to hold a free handstand--or to take it further, and do free standing handstand pushups--this is the book for you. How To Do A Handstand covers everything you need to know to master these skills and make handstand training a part of your regular routine. Training for this skill can be very rewarding. It can also be very frustrating if you don't make any progress because you aren't quite sure which exercises to do, and how exactly to do them. This book will teach you all the exercises and progressions you need to master this skill--even if you've never attempted a handstand before in your life. You'll have full explanations along with pictures depicting every exercise you'll use to reach your goal. All you need to do is pick up a physical or digital copy today, and get started.

Interesting

Interesting read on theory of handstands and how to achieve these.
Hopefully once put into practice I will be able to achieve the same.

The book goes from telling you how to do a hand stand against the wall, how to gradually rely on the wall less, how to do it without the wall, how to walk on your hands and how to do a freestanding pushup.

I am sure it will take at least 1-3 months to be able to do it well, but the instructions are clear and plentiful.

I look forward to trying it. I think pull ups and handstand pushups are two of the best exercises you can do, and you don't really need any equipment at all for a handstand push up.

Lets hope I manage to do it!

I read this in under an hour before going to sleep. Really simple guide to doing handstands, handstand walks and handstand push-ups. It's got some exercise progressions and tips on how to learn and improve from your failures. I was going to start training these in the gym, but now I've read this I'm going to start doing them at home instead.

Nice to have a book that covers how to do a handstand from beginning to end. Maybe I'll get out and try to learn it. Or maybe it will just sit on the shelves. For 7 bucks it was not a bad deal to have something centralized with all the necessary exercises and progression in one place.

Great stuff

Helped me put handstands into perspective. They really are not as intimidating as I've imagined them to be. After a few weeks of push ups I'll be ready to start training handstands.

Small booklet where I can pick up the same or better information in an article or video on the internet for free.
