All right.
This episode is for youspecifically, if you are brand
new to press handstand.
And you're wanting to learn it.
And you're starting fromscratch.
What I'm going to do is coverthe basics for you.
So you can have a general ideaof what you're working towards.
And.
What has to happen in order foryou to make progress.
(00:21):
And so what typically happenswhen you start out on this
journey?
To learn a press is nowadays.
It's really easy to getoverwhelmed.
So there's informationeverywhere.
In fact, there's too muchinformation and there's too much
bad information.
And now the challenge peoplehave is information confusion.
(00:42):
Which is there so many differentthings that you can do in so
many different paths that youcan take?
That actually by going throughand trying to research too much,
you actually just becomeparalyzed from.
The.
From the sheer amount ofinformation out there.
So that's that.
The first thing is what not todo.
(01:03):
Okay.
And.
The first approach.
And I'll explain this.
I want to keep this episodeshort.
I don't want it to go super longbecause it's very easy to go
into real detail log, a lot ofthese things, which I've covered
at various points throughoutthis podcast and other episodes,
but you can go back and listento.
But.
One of the first things thatpeople tend to do is they look
(01:27):
at a press handstand and theirtraining because they don't
really have any direction.
Or they don't have anyexperience in training for
something like this, as theylook at it and they just try to
practice it over and over andover and over, which is I'm just
gonna press and try and liftmyself off the ground and try
and do it over and over it now.
The challenge, the problem withthat, not the challenge, but the
(01:48):
problem with that is.
You're immediately training yourbody to replicate a faulty
movement pattern.
And the thing, the first thingto understand with press
handstand, that it's notnecessarily a feat of strength,
as much as it is.
Learning to create a newmovement pattern in your body.
(02:09):
So by movement pattern somethinglike brushing your teeth or
riding a bike.
It's something that.
It's a learned skill.
That your brain literally has tosend signals to your muscle to
execute it.
So it's not just about strengthbuilding as much as it is about
a pattern.
So if you just replicate.
The, if you just try to do itover and over again.
(02:33):
You will.
In turn.
Create more problems foryourself because you will have
trained your body.
To learn an anti press, so tospeak, which is you've training
your body the wrong way to pressup.
The way to think about it fromthe way to think about it from
this position is that, andhere's the irony.
(02:54):
And this is something that Itell all my clients is that
actually the fastest way tolearn, to press handstand.
Is not to try it.
Over and over again, but breakit down into its components.
So that you can work onstrengthening each and every one
of those components.
All right.
And.
There's a couple of things thatyou can.
(03:17):
Gauge for yourself.
There's a couple of things thatyou can understand.
I'll go through these.
On the show, but I want to breakit down first into kind of the
three major components just tosummarize.
What you're doing and whatexactly has to happen.
So number one, First andforemost is getting your TVA to
(03:40):
activate.
So number one is the core,right?
Does it require core strength tohold yourself and.
Lift yourself and balanced.
Yeah, it does.
It does require core strength.
And I interchangeably sometimeswhen I'm talking use the TVA,
which stands for the transverseabdominis and.
The core interchangeably, butwhat I'm referring to directly
is the TVA, the transverseabdominis, and.
(04:03):
Yeah, so having that asrequired, but one of the main
things that people that are newto press handstand.
Get wrong.
Is that core strength and listento this carefully core strength
is not re is building core.
Strength is not requiredbecause.
Having a strong core is whatjust allows you to magically
(04:25):
lift up off the ground.
It's actually not that at all.
It's training your core so thatit is strong enough to activate
when you're lifting your body.
Because in order to get yourhips over the shoulders in.
A press handstand.
One thing that has to happen is.
You have muscles that are onthe, on your lower back called
(04:46):
your QL muscles and they attach.
The top of the pelvis to thebottom of the rib cage, those
muscles.
I have to extend when in orderfor the hips to go over the
shoulders in order to make iteasier for the hips to go over
the shoulders.
And that's a major component inthe consistency of a press.
So the difference between aconsistent press, someone who
(05:09):
can press like over and overagain.
Versus someone who just does itone time and then they get
exhausted because they muscledthrough the entire movement is
their ability to use their QLand LinkedIn the muscles out.
So lengthening the QL in themoment you lift so that you can
create distance between your ribcage and your hips.
(05:30):
And that's what helps you lift.
It to create that space for yourhips to move over the shoulders.
So your core has to be strongenough to.
Support your body when you lift,not because the core itself
makes the movement, but becausewhen your court doesn't work,
when you're trying to press tohandstand, which is why I also
(05:51):
don't recommend that you just doit a bunch of times.
Your training, isn't just doingit over and over that generally
again makes no progress, but thereason you want your quarter be
strong.
Is because of that length.
And if it isn't that link in theQL, but if it isn't strong
enough, then what happens isyour shoulders will tend to
muscle the movement, which meansyou'll overemphasize the use of
(06:15):
the shoulders.
In the movement itself, whichwill cause muscling and you'll
just get tight in the shouldersand the traps, which is not
going to create a sustainablepress.
But the other side of it is themuscles that work like the.
That will try to work like theTVA in the absence of that
muscle activating.
Is your QL muscles.
(06:36):
So your QL will effectively tryto stabilize your body instead
of lengthening in this movement.
And when they stabilize, theytypically tend to contract.
And when those QL musclescontract.
They tend to pull the hipstowards the ribs.
Which if you flip that upsidedown, you're actually pulling
your hips back down the bodyinstead of up, which helps to
create that stacking positionwith your hips over your
(06:57):
shoulders.
So that's the first big one isunderstanding the TBA.
So I'll summarize it reallysimply here is that.
Your TVA has to be strong enoughto engage when you're lifting.
Not because the course notbecause having that core
strength is what makes the lift.
It's because having a strongenough core to allow your QL
(07:18):
muscles to lengthen correctly.
In the lifting mechanic to getthe hips over the shoulders is
why the core is important.
So this is also why.
Press handstand is very powerfultool for balance back pain is
because you have to go in andaddress these kinds of things.
And typically.
People who have a hard time withpress handstand also have
imbalances in their body.
(07:39):
It goes hand in hand, right?
Press handstand is like a feetof balanced muscles in the body.
And so all of these things allwork together.
Synergistically that's first.
The second thing, the secondmajor thing.
Is your lat muscles.
Okay.
This is another mistake thatpeople make is they tend to
focus solely on strengthbuilding.
(08:01):
They tend to think it's it'ssheerly like a strength building
exercise or strength, buildingskill you're learning, or a feat
of strength.
It's really not in this way, butpeople will sometimes say my
arms and my shoulders aren'tstrong enough.
So I can't hold the body.
And so I got to build my arms.
I got to build my shoulderstronger.
And that's exactly the oppositeof what you want to do.
(08:22):
You want to minimize the use ofthose things and you want to
maximize the use of your lats.
And what will happen sometimesis so if you look at the lats
anatomically, so this is just anaudio show.
You can Google a picture of thelats, but your lats work as.
They're like a supporting bracethere.
It's like a seat belt.
For your upper body.
(08:44):
In fact, what the lats dospecifically is they help to
stabilize your shoulder girdle?
And they not only help tostabilize the shoulder girdle,
but if you look at where thelats connect to, they actually
wrap up and connect to the topof your triceps.
And so what they create in thatlevel and what they create is
(09:04):
stability in the upper bodystability for the arms.
So actually a lot of times when.
You when I see people who saythey have weak arms or they feel
unstable.
When they're on their hands orthey can't hold themselves.
It's not because they lackArmstrong, but yeah, that's a
small portion of it.
But the larger portion is thattheir back muscles, which are
the large muscles on your body,the lap muscles, aren't working
(09:28):
correctly to stabilize the body.
So they aren't stabilizing theupper body correctly.
So everything feels off balanceand everything feels weak.
That's called back stabilitystrength and.
In this mechanic specifically.
What that is, what stabilitystrength is in general is when
you learn.
To use the opposite muscles in amovement like stabilizers.
(09:50):
So in this case, let me describeit more simply is that press
hand send is a pushing movement.
So the stabilizers, the pullingmuscles in this case of the
stabilizers, the lap muscles,the biceps.
So those are stabilizing musclesand stability strength.
Is when we learn to use.
Those pulling muscles likestabilizers and pushing
movements and the opposite forother mechanics.
(10:12):
Not, we won't talk about thosetoday.
Since press Hanson's pushingmovement, but stability
strength.
The other way around is whenwe're learning to use our
pushing muscles like stabilizersand pulling type movements.
So if you're doing bar work andthat kind of thing, That's a
really critical piece.
The lats super critical, becausenumber one, It not only allows
the support of the arms.
(10:32):
Which allows your arms to feelmore solid and more stable.
So like with my clientsspecifically when their lats are
not working correctly, And itdoesn't really matter how much
strength they have in theirarms.
It always manifests itself ashaving weak arms, they'll say.
But when you train, when you getthe last to stabilize correctly,
you've now got like a real solidsupported supporting base for
(10:55):
both your arms and the shouldergirdle.
Now that brings me into my nextpoint with the shoulder girl.
Is.
If you look and if you look atpeople doing handstands or you
look at people.
Trying to jump up to handstand.
You'll see this collapsingaction where the shoulder girdle
collapses downward.
The best way to describe it asif you are like up against the
(11:17):
wall, trying to do a handstandand you're pushing away, you can
almost push your whole torsoaway from the ground or push
your feet up the wall.
Kind of thing, but if yourshoulder girdle collapses even
slightly.
You're losing 70 to 80% of yourpower so that when you try to
press into the ground, you'rebasically just dissipating power
through your shoulder girdle andthe shoulder girdle then is just
(11:39):
absorbing all that power.
Instead of using it as part ofthe force that you pushed down
into the ground to stabilizeyourself and create the lift.
So one of the, one of the,really, the other very important
part about having strong latsand having.
That stability strength is thatyou can support the shoulder
girdle correctly so that whenyou're pushing into the ground,
(12:02):
it doesn't collapse.
That's how you create power,right?
That's how you create thatrebound effect.
From the floor.
And the difference is like togive you a comparison is if
you're, again, if your shouldergirls collapse and you're losing
like 75, 80% of your power.
But what it feels like.
Is.
What it feels like is your bodypushing.
(12:24):
Or your hands pushing into sand.
Instead of pushing intosomething solid, like a hardwood
floor, like concrete.
Now, if you've ever tried topush into the sand, like at the
beach, it feels very unstable.
And that's the effect.
That's the destabilizing effectin your body?
The shoulder girdle has when itcollapses, when you aren't
supporting it.
So in order to support theshoulder girdle correctly, where
(12:45):
that support comes from is inthe lats.
The lats, they provide stabilityto both the shoulder girdle and
the arms, which in turn makesthe entire movement stronger.
That's very important part.
And yeah.
The other downside of havingquote unquote, big shoulders and
strong traps or using those isthat they don't support the
(13:07):
shoulder girdle as much as thelats do.
So your shoulder girdle willstill collapse.
In fact, Typically, you'll seeit a lot.
Enhanced stands as people wouldreally strong shoulders tend to
have really weak lats.
And that was my background.
When I started from baseball Ihad a lot of imbalances in my
body but that was one of the bigones.
It's very overdeveloped, upperbody, but underdeveloped back
(13:28):
and core, no functionalstrength.
You might have a lot of powerwhen you're bench pressing or
doing power lifts, but.
No power at all when it comes todoing a press handstand.
So the lats are important inthat regard to summarize the
lats are important because theysupport both the shoulder girdle
and the arms, and they make youfeel like your arms are super
strong.
So those are labs.
(13:48):
The third one is hip flexors.
The hip flexors are importantbecause when you lift yourself,
Off the ground.
When you're fundamentallylifting yourself off the floor.
In a press.
One thing is for sure.
So your legs are moving throughthe air.
Obviously they're moving througha 180 degree arc, starting from
(14:09):
the ground up to a handstand.
In order for your legs to movethrough space.
The muscles that have to bestrong enough are the hip
flexors, because what is therole of the hip flexors?
The role of the hip flexors isto.
Support the lakes.
That's what we do when we walkright.
When we walk and we move, weflex.
(14:31):
Our we're basically flexing ourhip muscles.
Every time we walk in, take astep and why do we bend our
knees?
And you can actually test thisfor yourself.
So one of the reasons we bendour knees when we walk is
because.
Strength.
So hip flexors.
Are part of what is required.
That the effective strengththat's required is the longer
(14:52):
your legs have the longer thelever.
This is a mechanics thing.
The longer the lever, the morestrength that's required.
So the hip flexors, the longerthe legs.
The longer, the bigger theradius, the more strength in the
hip flexors that's required tomove the legs.
So when we bend the knees, weeffectively shorten the radius
of the arm and that requiresless amount of strength in our
hip flexors to move.
(15:13):
So that's why we bend the knees.
When we're walking.
If you try to walk with yourlegs straight, it's a little
harder to do.
Now.
The bad news of press handstandis not only are the legs
straight, but the.
Legs are not attached to theground.
So our hip flexors have to bereally strong.
Really strong to be able to holdthe legs.
(15:33):
Like a lot of times I've seenpeople who are super strong in
every area of the body exceptthe hips.
And it makes.
Them.
It makes their body feelcompletely dysfunctional, right?
It's there's no functionalmovement at all.
When the hip flexors are veryweak.
And the downside of that also isbecause the hip flexors they
(15:56):
effectively act as the bridge,so to speak between the L the
upper body and the L or thelower body, upper body.
Right there, the bridge thatlinks the two together and those
hip flexor muscles are affectedwith the muscles that allow the
lower body and the upper body toeffectively communicate with
each other.
And the they're criticallyimportant for ha for not only
(16:17):
the functionality and the body,but you have to have strong
enough hip flexors to be able tomove the legs through space.
And hold them otherwise.
What happens is the knees.
Just start to bend, or they'llstart to bend.
And not only will you not beable to lift, but because your
hip flexors won't be strongenough to move the legs through
(16:38):
space instead, what will happen?
Is your shoulders will juststart to go forward and you'll
just start to muscle in yourshoulders and you'll create more
bad habits in that way.
That's the hip flexors areimportant to summarize, right?
That to summarize this point,the hip flexors are required to
be able to hold the legs throughspace.
Now.
(16:59):
The.
A couple of other points.
So those are what I would say isthe big three.
And then you've got otherpoints, again, things that go
on.
Throughout the body that you canlook at.
Yes, you do have the shoulders.
You do have the arms.
You do have the QL is to payattention to you do have the
quadriceps.
You do have the hamstrings, allof those muscles play a role.
But at first the problem is likea lot of people will fixate on
(17:22):
those things.
Like a lot of A lot ofviewpoints, a lot of what on
YouTube is really fixated onhamstring mobility and on Lost
my train of thought, hamstringmobility and oh, and arm
strength.
And building up the shouldersand those two things.
R.
(17:43):
They're important, but notcritical.
And if you go for those thingsfirst, you're not really gonna
make any progress because themain underlying big three parts
of your body still need.
To those, you have to learn howto work on, and again, because
you're trying, this is amovement pattern we're trying to
(18:04):
create it's there, there has tobe a little more tact in going
towards it.
It's not as simple as saying Iwant to bench 300 pounds or 400
pounds.
So it's not as simple as saying,let me load up a bar with 20
pounds and start there and workmy way up.
It's a pattern you're trying tocreate.
So these muscles are the, theseare like the essential muscles
(18:24):
that I went through.
That allow you to create thepattern, right?
You have to have the strength inorder to create that pattern.
But a lot of times when thoseare, if you're trying to create
the pattern without the properstrengthen the muscles to
actually do the patterncorrectly, your body ends up
creating the wrong pattern.
And it's just Again, though,those were like the order of
(18:44):
things you want to work on.
Because getting those thingsallows the rest of the things to
start to work correctly.
The other patterns you have tobuild in the body, and that's
the way that's the approach Itake is, and that's the thing
with press Hansen is it's veryspecific in what you do.
It's a lot, like it's a lotbaking a cake, following a
(19:05):
recipe to bake a cake thatthere's a specific way.
That you do something.
If you put all the ingredients,the flour, the sugar, all that
stuff.
And then put it in the oven andthen take it out and then put
the egg in there.
You're going to have a verydifferent.
Outcome than if you put the eggin first and mix the ingredients
together and then put it intothe oven.
Same kind of thing.
(19:25):
Press Hanson is like that.
And a lot training your body tocreate the correct movement
patterns is.
Critical in this regard to makeany progress and.
You have to realize like thesethree things, those main three
things, if you keep those inmind and if you aren't familiar
with them, I have a lot of youcan listen to a lot of my
information on this podcast thatI've got, you can go through and
(19:47):
you can listen to those.
If you want.
More and if you want even moreinformation.
Number one, you should getfamiliar with the body.
Like I recommend.
I recommend Anyone learning thisto understand the way their body
works.
I have a, I use an app it'scalled complete anatomy, 2023.
That's very thorough.
(20:08):
And teaching you the way muscleswork and whatnot.
It is an investment, but it'sworth it.
It's a few hundred bucks for theapp, but it's a great app or.
I should say it's a few hundredbucks to unlock all the features
in the app and the ways that themuscles move.
So you can get familiar withthat, but it's worth it.
It's.
It's worth it like 10 times overto use that app.
(20:30):
I use that app of all my clientswhen I'm going through and
helping them to understand theway their body works and the way
it moves and the way muscleswork in synergy.
It's very eyeopening that givesyou a, that gives you a huge
start that gives you like a hugeadvantage and understanding
that.
And then you can go in and youcan Google things like.
Stability strength.
(20:51):
It's important to understandlike what you're doing when
you're creating stability,strength.
Getting familiar with thosethings, learning how to activate
your core is important.
That's also something you wantto, that's also something you
need to learn with certainty ishow do I know?
When my core is activating andwhen it's not.
And what does proper activationfeel like so that I can make
(21:14):
sure that I'm replicating.
Those things when I'm creatingpress, like these are big
foundational pieces, which ifyou get these in order, It'll
make it'll make your progress awhole lot quicker.
You'll move through it a wholelot quicker.
So it's one of these thingswhere it shouldn't really take a
(21:35):
long time.
It's not something that likerelative, relatively speaking.
But I it's, I still means like afew months.
Like with my clients, startingfrom scratch it takes between
three and five months to reallyget it.
And depending on what scratchlooks like to you, whether
that's like an athleticbackground or something like
that, but the trap that peopleget into.
(21:59):
Is they believe it's like amulti-year journey and you're
moving through.
They're just trying things a lotof the time, hoping that they
work and the issue with that.
Is cause I, I see this a lot.
Like I get a lot of clients, weget a lot of clients into our
program who they've beenliterally like practicing or
(22:21):
working out for four or fiveyears.
And sometimes even longer.
In that case.
And for some reason they alwaysthink they're gonna get it one
day.
But the harsh reality is that.
It like if you've been doingsomething for years and it's not
working it, what you're doing iswrong.
It should not take that muchtime.
You're doing the wrong things.
You're following the wrongthings.
(22:41):
You are not creating.
You're not training in a way,which is conducive for your body
to improve, change and grow.
It's just you're just doing thewrong things and.
I see that a lot.
I see it a lot because there'sso much information out there
and there's so many differentbody types finding what works
for your body type is important.
(23:01):
Which is why I gave you thosethree main things to look for
and understand and learn so thatyou can actually assess and
identify in your own body rightaway.
If you just understand whatthings you need to work on in
your body, Actually your bestway.
Is to literally, once youunderstand these things stop
(23:23):
Googling things related to apress handstand and actually
Google how to build stability,strength, how to.
Create how to effectively buildhip flexor strength.
Like those are the kinds ofthings you want to learn and you
want to put the pieces together.
That's.
That's.
That's one of the best thingsyou can do for yourself is learn
the body functionally.
So you have the high leveloverview.
(23:46):
Of how it works.
Like I'm a big believer in.
That it's very hard to, it'svery hard to get something to
work correctly.
If you don't understand the wayall of the pieces work, it's
it's difficult if you're the CEOof a company, but you don't know
the way the company works.
Same fundamental thing, like aCEO's job as much easier if he
(24:10):
or she understands marketing.
Sales the technical side of itproduction.
QA, all of these different partsof the company are important.
Understanding your body is thesame way.
The more you understand how yourbody, your muscles work and they
work in synergy.
That's not only going to set youup for a solid foundation for
press handstand and you'llunderstand the muscles that you
(24:32):
need to learn in order to do it.
But you're also just becomingmore knowledgeable about your
body in general, which is goingto set you up for a lifetime.
And.
When you do that and you gothrough those things through
that process, you're also.
But you're also doing islearning what a balanced body
looks like.
And that's my whole philosophyon press Hanson.
(24:52):
It's the reason I like themovement so much is because the
act of training for one, whenyou do it right.
Means it's going to balance yourbody.
You're going to overcome a lotof injuries in that process.
By going through that andactually, and uncovering what,
because basically what you'redoing is you've got a jigsaw
puzzle with thousands of piecesand you're learning to put them
together.
(25:12):
You're learning to put them alltogether and that's the thing
with the body that's actuallyreally fascinating is there's
and don't quote me directly onthis.
There's about give or take 650muscles in the body.
Learning how they work iscritical and it makes the
process a whole heck of a loteasier so that you can start to
troubleshoot.
And that's really how youcontinuously make improvement
(25:35):
in.
This is number one, taking thetime to learn these things
become a student of the body.
Don't just become fixated on theskill, the race, through it, as
quickly as possible, become astudent of bod of the body,
learn the way the muscles work,go through that process.
And the more that you do that.
The easier it's going to be foryou to design and customize your
(25:55):
training for what you need.
Because we're a lot of people gowrong is if you go on like
YouTube, where you go places,it's always do these drills, do
this, try this, the problem withdoing a lot of general droves.
Is.
Any number one, who knows if thedrills are effective, but number
two, Even if they are effective,they may not be effective for
(26:17):
you.
They may not be effective forwhat your body actually needs to
improve and what you actuallyneed to grow.
And to actually make change.
So that's because the drillbased approach is too, it's too
vague.
And if you just rely on that,oftentimes you're relying on
information that or exercisesthat aren't specifically working
(26:40):
for.
You.
But if you take the time tounderstand how your body
actually works and the way themuscles work in these
foundational pieces.
That will make it far easier foryou to then custom tailor the
information that you follow.
So at least you can find thingsthat are right for you that help
you improve.
So by if you just get thesethree things down and understand
(27:02):
that you're going to be well onyour path on the right path to.
Mastering your press handstandand that regard.
And of course, if you arewanting to if you don't want to
do all this yourself and youwant to be coached through the
process, you can check out bodybreakthrough.
That whole process.
And we can go through that wholeprocess together of mapping out
that stuff.
(27:22):
And.
If you are starting fromscratch, like most people
starting from scratch.
If you've got, if you've gotlike a like a movement
background, you practice yoga,or you're doing some like
movement arts, like three monthsor so.
Is good target three to fourmonths.
And then if you're like brandlike literally brand new, like
I, we don't get very manyclients in our program who are
(27:43):
like Going from Netflix on thecouch and doing nothing to doing
a prep, wanting to do a presshandstand.
They typically already have somekind of athletic background of
some way, shape or form.
But that's probably six months.
And that also looks like if youcome from a different
background, that's hampered yourbody.
If you have if you're reallytight from playing sports or
(28:06):
you've done like long distancerunning or you've done.
Like biking, anything that'stightened, your hips are tight
knees, things like that.
It takes a little longer.
It takes more like five to sixmonths because it takes a couple
months to undo the tightness inthere.
But the information about theprogram and how it works.
And the approach is all in theshow notes below, you can check
it out.
Down there.
If you want more information onthat.
(28:28):
All right.
I hope this was helpful.
This should give you the bigoverview for starting from
scratch things, to look for thethings, to pay attention to the
things, to ignore.
Et cetera, et cetera.
You can go through that.
And if you got any questions,tag me in a story, you can shoot
me a message on you can shoot mea message on social media.
If you want to shoot me anemail,
(28:49):
brian@theaustinacademy.com, youcan also do that on my social
medias and the show notes.
And last thing, if you areenjoying this podcast and you
want to support the show iscompletely free.
You can support it by doing twothings.
Number one, just sharing it withsomeone.
Who would benefit from this?
If you know someone who's in thehandstands or press hand sands
to share the show with them.
(29:10):
That's one way to support it.
And the number two.
Take some time to leave areview.
If you leave a review for theshow on iTunes or on Spotify or
wherever you listen to podcasts,if you take some time to leave
review.
That also helps me get the showout to.
As many people as possible andit just helps the algorithm to
get in front of the people whocould benefit from it the most.
All right.
So that's all I've got for youon today's episode.
(29:31):
Have a good rest of your day andI'll talk to you soon.
All right.
This episode is for youspecifically, if you are brand
new to press handstand.
And you're wanting to learn it.
And you're starting fromscratch.
What I'm going to do is coverthe basics for you.
So you can have a general ideaof what you're working towards.
And.
What has to happen in order foryou to make progress.
(00:21):
And so what typically happenswhen you start out on this
journey?
To learn a press is nowadays.
It's really easy to getoverwhelmed.
So there's informationeverywhere.
In fact, there's too muchinformation and there's too much
bad information.
And now the challenge peoplehave is information confusion.
(00:42):
Which is there so many differentthings that you can do in so
many different paths that youcan take?
That actually by going throughand trying to research too much,
you actually just becomeparalyzed from.
The.
From the sheer amount ofinformation out there.
So that's that.
The first thing is what not todo.
(01:03):
Okay.
And.
The first approach.
And I'll explain this.
I want to keep this episodeshort.
I don't want it to go super longbecause it's very easy to go
into real detail log, a lot ofthese things, which I've covered
at various points throughoutthis podcast and other episodes,
but you can go back and listento.
But.
One of the first things thatpeople tend to do is they look
(01:27):
at a press handstand and theirtraining because they don't
really have any direction.
Or they don't have anyexperience in training for
something like this, as theylook at it and they just try to
practice it over and over andover and over, which is I'm just
gonna press and try and liftmyself off the ground and try
and do it over and over it now.
The challenge, the problem withthat, not the challenge, but the
(01:48):
problem with that is.
You're immediately training yourbody to replicate a faulty
movement pattern.
And the thing, the first thingto understand with press
handstand, that it's notnecessarily a feat of strength,
as much as it is.
Learning to create a newmovement pattern in your body.
(02:09):
So by movement pattern somethinglike brushing your teeth or
riding a bike.
It's something that.
It's a learned skill.
That your brain literally has tosend signals to your muscle to
execute it.
So it's not just about strengthbuilding as much as it is about
a pattern.
So if you just replicate.
The, if you just try to do itover and over again.
(02:33):
You will.
In turn.
Create more problems foryourself because you will have
trained your body.
To learn an anti press, so tospeak, which is you've training
your body the wrong way to pressup.
The way to think about it fromthe way to think about it from
this position is that, andhere's the irony.
(02:54):
And this is something that Itell all my clients is that
actually the fastest way tolearn, to press handstand.
Is not to try it.
Over and over again, but breakit down into its components.
So that you can work onstrengthening each and every one
of those components.
All right.
And.
There's a couple of things thatyou can.
(03:17):
Gauge for yourself.
There's a couple of things thatyou can understand.
I'll go through these.
On the show, but I want to breakit down first into kind of the
three major components just tosummarize.
What you're doing and whatexactly has to happen.
So number one, First andforemost is getting your TVA to
(03:40):
activate.
So number one is the core,right?
Does it require core strength tohold yourself and.
Lift yourself and balanced.
Yeah, it does.
It does require core strength.
And I interchangeably sometimeswhen I'm talking use the TVA,
which stands for the transverseabdominis and.
The core interchangeably, butwhat I'm referring to directly
is the TVA, the transverseabdominis, and.
(04:03):
Yeah, so having that asrequired, but one of the main
things that people that are newto press handstand.
Get wrong.
Is that core strength and listento this carefully core strength
is not re is building core.
Strength is not requiredbecause.
Having a strong core is whatjust allows you to magically
(04:25):
lift up off the ground.
It's actually not that at all.
It's training your core so thatit is strong enough to activate
when you're lifting your body.
Because in order to get yourhips over the shoulders in.
A press handstand.
One thing that has to happen is.
You have muscles that are onthe, on your lower back called
(04:46):
your QL muscles and they attach.
The top of the pelvis to thebottom of the rib cage, those
muscles.
I have to extend when in orderfor the hips to go over the
shoulders in order to make iteasier for the hips to go over
the shoulders.
And that's a major component inthe consistency of a press.
So the difference between aconsistent press, someone who
(05:09):
can press like over and overagain.
Versus someone who just does itone time and then they get
exhausted because they muscledthrough the entire movement is
their ability to use their QLand LinkedIn the muscles out.
So lengthening the QL in themoment you lift so that you can
create distance between your ribcage and your hips.
(05:30):
And that's what helps you lift.
It to create that space for yourhips to move over the shoulders.
So your core has to be strongenough to.
Support your body when you lift,not because the core itself
makes the movement, but becausewhen your court doesn't work,
when you're trying to press tohandstand, which is why I also
(05:51):
don't recommend that you just doit a bunch of times.
Your training, isn't just doingit over and over that generally
again makes no progress, but thereason you want your quarter be
strong.
Is because of that length.
And if it isn't that link in theQL, but if it isn't strong
enough, then what happens isyour shoulders will tend to
muscle the movement, which meansyou'll overemphasize the use of
(06:15):
the shoulders.
In the movement itself, whichwill cause muscling and you'll
just get tight in the shouldersand the traps, which is not
going to create a sustainablepress.
But the other side of it is themuscles that work like the.
That will try to work like theTVA in the absence of that
muscle activating.
Is your QL muscles.
(06:36):
So your QL will effectively tryto stabilize your body instead
of lengthening in this movement.
And when they stabilize, theytypically tend to contract.
And when those QL musclescontract.
They tend to pull the hipstowards the ribs.
Which if you flip that upsidedown, you're actually pulling
your hips back down the bodyinstead of up, which helps to
create that stacking positionwith your hips over your
(06:57):
shoulders.
So that's the first big one isunderstanding the TBA.
So I'll summarize it reallysimply here is that.
Your TVA has to be strong enoughto engage when you're lifting.
Not because the course notbecause having that core
strength is what makes the lift.
It's because having a strongenough core to allow your QL
(07:18):
muscles to lengthen correctly.
In the lifting mechanic to getthe hips over the shoulders is
why the core is important.
So this is also why.
Press handstand is very powerfultool for balance back pain is
because you have to go in andaddress these kinds of things.
And typically.
People who have a hard time withpress handstand also have
imbalances in their body.
(07:39):
It goes hand in hand, right?
Press handstand is like a feetof balanced muscles in the body.
And so all of these things allwork together.
Synergistically that's first.
The second thing, the secondmajor thing.
Is your lat muscles.
Okay.
This is another mistake thatpeople make is they tend to
focus solely on strengthbuilding.
(08:01):
They tend to think it's it'ssheerly like a strength building
exercise or strength, buildingskill you're learning, or a feat
of strength.
It's really not in this way, butpeople will sometimes say my
arms and my shoulders aren'tstrong enough.
So I can't hold the body.
And so I got to build my arms.
I got to build my shoulderstronger.
And that's exactly the oppositeof what you want to do.
(08:22):
You want to minimize the use ofthose things and you want to
maximize the use of your lats.
And what will happen sometimesis so if you look at the lats
anatomically, so this is just anaudio show.
You can Google a picture of thelats, but your lats work as.
They're like a supporting bracethere.
It's like a seat belt.
For your upper body.
(08:44):
In fact, what the lats dospecifically is they help to
stabilize your shoulder girdle?
And they not only help tostabilize the shoulder girdle,
but if you look at where thelats connect to, they actually
wrap up and connect to the topof your triceps.
And so what they create in thatlevel and what they create is
(09:04):
stability in the upper bodystability for the arms.
So actually a lot of times when.
You when I see people who saythey have weak arms or they feel
unstable.
When they're on their hands orthey can't hold themselves.
It's not because they lackArmstrong, but yeah, that's a
small portion of it.
But the larger portion is thattheir back muscles, which are
the large muscles on your body,the lap muscles, aren't working
(09:28):
correctly to stabilize the body.
So they aren't stabilizing theupper body correctly.
So everything feels off balanceand everything feels weak.
That's called back stabilitystrength and.
In this mechanic specifically.
What that is, what stabilitystrength is in general is when
you learn.
To use the opposite muscles in amovement like stabilizers.
(09:50):
So in this case, let me describeit more simply is that press
hand send is a pushing movement.
So the stabilizers, the pullingmuscles in this case of the
stabilizers, the lap muscles,the biceps.
So those are stabilizing musclesand stability strength.
Is when we learn to use.
Those pulling muscles likestabilizers and pushing
movements and the opposite forother mechanics.
(10:12):
Not, we won't talk about thosetoday.
Since press Hanson's pushingmovement, but stability
strength.
The other way around is whenwe're learning to use our
pushing muscles like stabilizersand pulling type movements.
So if you're doing bar work andthat kind of thing, That's a
really critical piece.
The lats super critical, becausenumber one, It not only allows
the support of the arms.
(10:32):
Which allows your arms to feelmore solid and more stable.
So like with my clientsspecifically when their lats are
not working correctly, And itdoesn't really matter how much
strength they have in theirarms.
It always manifests itself ashaving weak arms, they'll say.
But when you train, when you getthe last to stabilize correctly,
you've now got like a real solidsupported supporting base for
(10:55):
both your arms and the shouldergirdle.
Now that brings me into my nextpoint with the shoulder girl.
Is.
If you look and if you look atpeople doing handstands or you
look at people.
Trying to jump up to handstand.
You'll see this collapsingaction where the shoulder girdle
collapses downward.
The best way to describe it asif you are like up against the
(11:17):
wall, trying to do a handstandand you're pushing away, you can
almost push your whole torsoaway from the ground or push
your feet up the wall.
Kind of thing, but if yourshoulder girdle collapses even
slightly.
You're losing 70 to 80% of yourpower so that when you try to
press into the ground, you'rebasically just dissipating power
through your shoulder girdle andthe shoulder girdle then is just
(11:39):
absorbing all that power.
Instead of using it as part ofthe force that you pushed down
into the ground to stabilizeyourself and create the lift.
So one of the, one of the,really, the other very important
part about having strong latsand having.
That stability strength is thatyou can support the shoulder
girdle correctly so that whenyou're pushing into the ground,
(12:02):
it doesn't collapse.
That's how you create power,right?
That's how you create thatrebound effect.
From the floor.
And the difference is like togive you a comparison is if
you're, again, if your shouldergirls collapse and you're losing
like 75, 80% of your power.
But what it feels like.
Is.
What it feels like is your bodypushing.
(12:24):
Or your hands pushing into sand.
Instead of pushing intosomething solid, like a hardwood
floor, like concrete.
Now, if you've ever tried topush into the sand, like at the
beach, it feels very unstable.
And that's the effect.
That's the destabilizing effectin your body?
The shoulder girdle has when itcollapses, when you aren't
supporting it.
So in order to support theshoulder girdle correctly, where
(12:45):
that support comes from is inthe lats.
The lats, they provide stabilityto both the shoulder girdle and
the arms, which in turn makesthe entire movement stronger.
That's very important part.
And yeah.
The other downside of havingquote unquote, big shoulders and
strong traps or using those isthat they don't support the
(13:07):
shoulder girdle as much as thelats do.
So your shoulder girdle willstill collapse.
In fact, Typically, you'll seeit a lot.
Enhanced stands as people wouldreally strong shoulders tend to
have really weak lats.
And that was my background.
When I started from baseball Ihad a lot of imbalances in my
body but that was one of the bigones.
It's very overdeveloped, upperbody, but underdeveloped back
(13:28):
and core, no functionalstrength.
You might have a lot of powerwhen you're bench pressing or
doing power lifts, but.
No power at all when it comes todoing a press handstand.
So the lats are important inthat regard to summarize the
lats are important because theysupport both the shoulder girdle
and the arms, and they make youfeel like your arms are super
strong.
So those are labs.
(13:48):
The third one is hip flexors.
The hip flexors are importantbecause when you lift yourself,
Off the ground.
When you're fundamentallylifting yourself off the floor.
In a press.
One thing is for sure.
So your legs are moving throughthe air.
Obviously they're moving througha 180 degree arc, starting from
(14:09):
the ground up to a handstand.
In order for your legs to movethrough space.
The muscles that have to bestrong enough are the hip
flexors, because what is therole of the hip flexors?
The role of the hip flexors isto.
Support the lakes.
That's what we do when we walkright.
When we walk and we move, weflex.
(14:31):
Our we're basically flexing ourhip muscles.
Every time we walk in, take astep and why do we bend our
knees?
And you can actually test thisfor yourself.
So one of the reasons we bendour knees when we walk is
because.
Strength.
So hip flexors.
Are part of what is required.
That the effective strengththat's required is the longer
(14:52):
your legs have the longer thelever.
This is a mechanics thing.
The longer the lever, the morestrength that's required.
So the hip flexors, the longerthe legs.
The longer, the bigger theradius, the more strength in the
hip flexors that's required tomove the legs.
So when we bend the knees, weeffectively shorten the radius
of the arm and that requiresless amount of strength in our
hip flexors to move.
(15:13):
So that's why we bend the knees.
When we're walking.
If you try to walk with yourlegs straight, it's a little
harder to do.
Now.
The bad news of press handstandis not only are the legs
straight, but the.
Legs are not attached to theground.
So our hip flexors have to bereally strong.
Really strong to be able to holdthe legs.
(15:33):
Like a lot of times I've seenpeople who are super strong in
every area of the body exceptthe hips.
And it makes.
Them.
It makes their body feelcompletely dysfunctional, right?
It's there's no functionalmovement at all.
When the hip flexors are veryweak.
And the downside of that also isbecause the hip flexors they
(15:56):
effectively act as the bridge,so to speak between the L the
upper body and the L or thelower body, upper body.
Right there, the bridge thatlinks the two together and those
hip flexor muscles are affectedwith the muscles that allow the
lower body and the upper body toeffectively communicate with
each other.
And the they're criticallyimportant for ha for not only
(16:17):
the functionality and the body,but you have to have strong
enough hip flexors to be able tomove the legs through space.
And hold them otherwise.
What happens is the knees.
Just start to bend, or they'llstart to bend.
And not only will you not beable to lift, but because your
hip flexors won't be strongenough to move the legs through
(16:38):
space instead, what will happen?
Is your shoulders will juststart to go forward and you'll
just start to muscle in yourshoulders and you'll create more
bad habits in that way.
That's the hip flexors areimportant to summarize, right?
That to summarize this point,the hip flexors are required to
be able to hold the legs throughspace.
Now.
(16:59):
The.
A couple of other points.
So those are what I would say isthe big three.
And then you've got otherpoints, again, things that go
on.
Throughout the body that you canlook at.
Yes, you do have the shoulders.
You do have the arms.
You do have the QL is to payattention to you do have the
quadriceps.
You do have the hamstrings, allof those muscles play a role.
But at first the problem is likea lot of people will fixate on
(17:22):
those things.
Like a lot of A lot ofviewpoints, a lot of what on
YouTube is really fixated onhamstring mobility and on Lost
my train of thought, hamstringmobility and oh, and arm
strength.
And building up the shouldersand those two things.
R.
(17:43):
They're important, but notcritical.
And if you go for those thingsfirst, you're not really gonna
make any progress because themain underlying big three parts
of your body still need.
To those, you have to learn howto work on, and again, because
you're trying, this is amovement pattern we're trying to
(18:04):
create it's there, there has tobe a little more tact in going
towards it.
It's not as simple as saying Iwant to bench 300 pounds or 400
pounds.
So it's not as simple as saying,let me load up a bar with 20
pounds and start there and workmy way up.
It's a pattern you're trying tocreate.
So these muscles are the, theseare like the essential muscles
(18:24):
that I went through.
That allow you to create thepattern, right?
You have to have the strength inorder to create that pattern.
But a lot of times when thoseare, if you're trying to create
the pattern without the properstrengthen the muscles to
actually do the patterncorrectly, your body ends up
creating the wrong pattern.
And it's just Again, though,those were like the order of
(18:44):
things you want to work on.
Because getting those thingsallows the rest of the things to
start to work correctly.
The other patterns you have tobuild in the body, and that's
the way that's the approach Itake is, and that's the thing
with press Hansen is it's veryspecific in what you do.
It's a lot, like it's a lotbaking a cake, following a
(19:05):
recipe to bake a cake thatthere's a specific way.
That you do something.
If you put all the ingredients,the flour, the sugar, all that
stuff.
And then put it in the oven andthen take it out and then put
the egg in there.
You're going to have a verydifferent.
Outcome than if you put the eggin first and mix the ingredients
together and then put it intothe oven.
Same kind of thing.
(19:25):
Press Hanson is like that.
And a lot training your body tocreate the correct movement
patterns is.
Critical in this regard to makeany progress and.
You have to realize like thesethree things, those main three
things, if you keep those inmind and if you aren't familiar
with them, I have a lot of youcan listen to a lot of my
information on this podcast thatI've got, you can go through and
(19:47):
you can listen to those.
If you want.
More and if you want even moreinformation.
Number one, you should getfamiliar with the body.
Like I recommend.
I recommend Anyone learning thisto understand the way their body
works.
I have a, I use an app it'scalled complete anatomy, 2023.
That's very thorough.
(20:08):
And teaching you the way muscleswork and whatnot.
It is an investment, but it'sworth it.
It's a few hundred bucks for theapp, but it's a great app or.
I should say it's a few hundredbucks to unlock all the features
in the app and the ways that themuscles move.
So you can get familiar withthat, but it's worth it.
It's.
It's worth it like 10 times overto use that app.
(20:30):
I use that app of all my clientswhen I'm going through and
helping them to understand theway their body works and the way
it moves and the way muscleswork in synergy.
It's very eyeopening that givesyou a, that gives you a huge
start that gives you like a hugeadvantage and understanding
that.
And then you can go in and youcan Google things like.
Stability strength.
(20:51):
It's important to understandlike what you're doing when
you're creating stability,strength.
Getting familiar with thosethings, learning how to activate
your core is important.
That's also something you wantto, that's also something you
need to learn with certainty ishow do I know?
When my core is activating andwhen it's not.
And what does proper activationfeel like so that I can make
(21:14):
sure that I'm replicating.
Those things when I'm creatingpress, like these are big
foundational pieces, which ifyou get these in order, It'll
make it'll make your progress awhole lot quicker.
You'll move through it a wholelot quicker.
So it's one of these thingswhere it shouldn't really take a
(21:35):
long time.
It's not something that likerelative, relatively speaking.
But I it's, I still means like afew months.
Like with my clients, startingfrom scratch it takes between
three and five months to reallyget it.
And depending on what scratchlooks like to you, whether
that's like an athleticbackground or something like
that, but the trap that peopleget into.
(21:59):
Is they believe it's like amulti-year journey and you're
moving through.
They're just trying things a lotof the time, hoping that they
work and the issue with that.
Is cause I, I see this a lot.
Like I get a lot of clients, weget a lot of clients into our
program who they've beenliterally like practicing or
(22:21):
working out for four or fiveyears.
And sometimes even longer.
In that case.
And for some reason they alwaysthink they're gonna get it one
day.
But the harsh reality is that.
It like if you've been doingsomething for years and it's not
working it, what you're doing iswrong.
It should not take that muchtime.
You're doing the wrong things.
You're following the wrongthings.
(22:41):
You are not creating.
You're not training in a way,which is conducive for your body
to improve, change and grow.
It's just you're just doing thewrong things and.
I see that a lot.
I see it a lot because there'sso much information out there
and there's so many differentbody types finding what works
for your body type is important.
(23:01):
Which is why I gave you thosethree main things to look for
and understand and learn so thatyou can actually assess and
identify in your own body rightaway.
If you just understand whatthings you need to work on in
your body, Actually your bestway.
Is to literally, once youunderstand these things stop
(23:23):
Googling things related to apress handstand and actually
Google how to build stability,strength, how to.
Create how to effectively buildhip flexor strength.
Like those are the kinds ofthings you want to learn and you
want to put the pieces together.
That's.
That's.
That's one of the best thingsyou can do for yourself is learn
the body functionally.
So you have the high leveloverview.
(23:46):
Of how it works.
Like I'm a big believer in.
That it's very hard to, it'svery hard to get something to
work correctly.
If you don't understand the wayall of the pieces work, it's
it's difficult if you're the CEOof a company, but you don't know
the way the company works.
Same fundamental thing, like aCEO's job as much easier if he
(24:10):
or she understands marketing.
Sales the technical side of itproduction.
QA, all of these different partsof the company are important.
Understanding your body is thesame way.
The more you understand how yourbody, your muscles work and they
work in synergy.
That's not only going to set youup for a solid foundation for
press handstand and you'llunderstand the muscles that you
(24:32):
need to learn in order to do it.
But you're also just becomingmore knowledgeable about your
body in general, which is goingto set you up for a lifetime.
And.
When you do that and you gothrough those things through
that process, you're also.
But you're also doing islearning what a balanced body
looks like.
And that's my whole philosophyon press Hanson.
(24:52):
It's the reason I like themovement so much is because the
act of training for one, whenyou do it right.
Means it's going to balance yourbody.
You're going to overcome a lotof injuries in that process.
By going through that andactually, and uncovering what,
because basically what you'redoing is you've got a jigsaw
puzzle with thousands of piecesand you're learning to put them
together.
(25:12):
You're learning to put them alltogether and that's the thing
with the body that's actuallyreally fascinating is there's
and don't quote me directly onthis.
There's about give or take 650muscles in the body.
Learning how they work iscritical and it makes the
process a whole heck of a loteasier so that you can start to
troubleshoot.
And that's really how youcontinuously make improvement
(25:35):
in.
This is number one, taking thetime to learn these things
become a student of the body.
Don't just become fixated on theskill, the race, through it, as
quickly as possible, become astudent of bod of the body,
learn the way the muscles work,go through that process.
And the more that you do that.
The easier it's going to be foryou to design and customize your
(25:55):
training for what you need.
Because we're a lot of people gowrong is if you go on like
YouTube, where you go places,it's always do these drills, do
this, try this, the problem withdoing a lot of general droves.
Is.
Any number one, who knows if thedrills are effective, but number
two, Even if they are effective,they may not be effective for
(26:17):
you.
They may not be effective forwhat your body actually needs to
improve and what you actuallyneed to grow.
And to actually make change.
So that's because the drillbased approach is too, it's too
vague.
And if you just rely on that,oftentimes you're relying on
information that or exercisesthat aren't specifically working
(26:40):
for.
You.
But if you take the time tounderstand how your body
actually works and the way themuscles work in these
foundational pieces.
That will make it far easier foryou to then custom tailor the
information that you follow.
So at least you can find thingsthat are right for you that help
you improve.
So by if you just get thesethree things down and understand
(27:02):
that you're going to be well onyour path on the right path to.
Mastering your press handstandand that regard.
And of course, if you arewanting to if you don't want to
do all this yourself and youwant to be coached through the
process, you can check out bodybreakthrough.
That whole process.
And we can go through that wholeprocess together of mapping out
that stuff.
(27:22):
And.
If you are starting fromscratch, like most people
starting from scratch.
If you've got, if you've gotlike a like a movement
background, you practice yoga,or you're doing some like
movement arts, like three monthsor so.
Is good target three to fourmonths.
And then if you're like brandlike literally brand new, like
I, we don't get very manyclients in our program who are
(27:43):
like Going from Netflix on thecouch and doing nothing to doing
a prep, wanting to do a presshandstand.
They typically already have somekind of athletic background of
some way, shape or form.
But that's probably six months.
And that also looks like if youcome from a different
background, that's hampered yourbody.
If you have if you're reallytight from playing sports or
(28:06):
you've done like long distancerunning or you've done.
Like biking, anything that'stightened, your hips are tight
knees, things like that.
It takes a little longer.
It takes more like five to sixmonths because it takes a couple
months to undo the tightness inthere.
But the information about theprogram and how it works.
And the approach is all in theshow notes below, you can check
it out.
Down there.
If you want more information onthat.
(28:28):
All right.
I hope this was helpful.
This should give you the bigoverview for starting from
scratch things, to look for thethings, to pay attention to the
things, to ignore.
Et cetera, et cetera.
You can go through that.
And if you got any questions,tag me in a story, you can shoot
me a message on you can shoot mea message on social media.
If you want to shoot me anemail,
(28:49):
brian@theaustinacademy.com, youcan also do that on my social
medias and the show notes.
And last thing, if you areenjoying this podcast and you
want to support the show iscompletely free.
You can support it by doing twothings.
Number one, just sharing it withsomeone.
Who would benefit from this?
If you know someone who's in thehandstands or press hand sands
to share the show with them.
(29:10):
That's one way to support it.
And the number two.
Take some time to leave areview.
If you leave a review for theshow on iTunes or on Spotify or
wherever you listen to podcasts,if you take some time to leave
review.
That also helps me get the showout to.
As many people as possible andit just helps the algorithm to
get in front of the people whocould benefit from it the most.
All right.
So that's all I've got for youon today's episode.
(29:31):
Have a good rest of your day andI'll talk to you soon.
