How to do a Frogstand

[AiriasasFTW]

is normal that when im doing this it hurts my legs?

[LegendaryStrength]

@AiriasasFTW Sort of. You'll whole body's weight is resting on your legs. It shouldn't hurt bad though and you should get use to it real fast.

[AiriasasFTW]

@LegendaryStrength To do a handstand i need to hold myself in frog stand for 60 seconds, what other things you could recomend me to do that i would be able to do handstand? And how long it takes to learn handstand? Ow and one mo question height is 186cm and weight 75kg does it make me more difficul to learn handstand? Thanks for answers :)

[LegendaryStrength]

@AiriasasFTW Headstands, forearm stand and handstand against wall. This is all covered in my Handstand Quick Start DVD. How long really depends on you and how much you practice. Plus I'm taller and heavier then you so you should have no problems.

[Des3rtEagle]

@LegendaryStrength dude i am training to do the planche and the first step is mastering the frog stand,but i head that u must do the frog stand with hands straight or they must bend like ur video?Please help me:?:)

[LegendaryStrength]

@Des3rtEagle Hands straight? Do you mean elbows? That's the difference between a basic frogstand and an advanced one. If you're talking about the hands pointing out to the sides that's fine for this move or planching

[Des3rtEagle]

@LegendaryStrength when i do it my elbows are into my legs,thats the right one?

[LegendaryStrength]

@LegendaryStrength Yes

[YourDeathAtAllCost]

How long should we be able to do this before we move on? Thanks great vid.

[LegendaryStrength]

@YourDeathAtAllCost I recommend 60 seconds.

[YourDeathAtAllCost]

@LegendaryStrength Thanks, and should we do that advance frog stand or move on to handstand? Thanks again.

[LegendaryStrength]

@YourDeathAtAllCost Both.

[SupremeParkitects]

best wrist strengthening exercise ive done! :)

[skejcik00001]

Shouldn't my arms be straight?

[LegendaryStrength]

@skejcik00001 The straight arms version is known as the advanced frog stand and is harder to do.

[skejcik00001]

@LegendaryStrength Okey thaks :)

[AGCARMY]

if you put your knees into your tricep its so much easier

[shadowyn2000]

If I have trouble doing a frogstand is there something else I should do leading up to it? Or just keep trying to do the frogstand?

[LegendaryStrength]

@shadowyn2000 I'd just keep at it.

[FreshPocky]

I got a question, how long should i practice doing frog stands each day?

[LegendaryStrength]

@FreshPocky As much as you can (and your body can take) if you want to make progress fast.

[WSWarthog]

Nice vid. How long do you reckon a person should be able to hold the frog stand before it makes sense to attempt the next progression?

I started doing this a couple of days back and can hold it for approx 30 seconds so long as I don't slip. Hopefuly soon I'll be able to hold a minute or so, then can I progress?

[LegendaryStrength]

@WSWarthog 60 seconds for each of the lead-up stunts is my general recommendation.

[dying2l]

what do you call it when you start to extend your legs?

[EliteBlackmetalist]

@dying2l A full planche

[iHeartMochiix3]

is this supposed to hurt the sides of your legs alot? cause the side of my legs feel like they're being ripped apart..

[LegendaryStrength]

@iHeartMochiix3 It shouldn't hurt that much and unless there is a specific problem it will just go away with time and practice.

[leonardosbavas]

Hey let me aski you something. I hit the gym every day(casual one muscle group every day). I like frog stands and handstand training like hell. After which muscle group do you recommend that I do hand stand training/frog stands?

[LegendaryStrength]

@leonardosbavas If you think of your body in terms of isolating muscle groups you can't do hand balancing as its full body. Ideally do them everyday.

[HeavenSkunk]

it seems that i am stuck... a few(2) months ago i can balance for about 5 sec now i can only balance for about 2 sec! i wasn't balancing for the past 2 months, is that the cause of the decrease in the time?

[LegendaryStrength]

@HeavenSkunk Yes, you need to practice the skills in order to get better at them.

[Thatsimpleguy]

Thanks, I really liked the point on the handstand applying.

[Thatsimpleguy]

@ducttapeofUSA IT's a planche progression, try THAT.

[HeavenSkunk]

Thumbs up good tutorial. i can only balance for about four seconds =(

[Thatsimpleguy]

@HeavenSkunk Good start :) It's tough

[HeavenSkunk]

yeah, you need a ponytail to do this. the ponytail helps you to balance the same way a tail help cats balance when they run and jump.

[jono521]

do i need a pony tail to be able to do this ;)

but good vid

[IxSacrificexI]

this will definetly help with the handstand

[shoegazer666]

thanks bro, good tutorial. feels scary at first though.

[Cultur1st]

@shoegazer666 Yeah, man. Tell me about it. Felt like I was going to smash my face to the ground. My technique is faulty everywhere.

[jackslasho]

i learnt this in gymnastics years and years ago and now i can handstand for minutes on end, and can hold the handstand without moving for bout a minute, this technique really does help, just get used to using your fingers and palm to as he said over and under balance

[Android18uk]

I can hold a frog stand, a headstand but not a handstand! : (

[DanielKinghorn]

it takes LEGENDARY STRENGHTH to do this

[msgymnastics4eva]

@DanielKinghorn why?

i'm 11 and i find it simple to do,ive always been able to do it

[DanielKinghorn]

anyone who cant do this should be killed for a brilliant future of mankind

[rafaelrfq]

This really helps to get used to a handstand man. I tried and i finally made it :D :D.

Thought i can't hold it for more than 10 seconds xD

[LeecH999]

can you make a tutorial "how to faceplant" ?

[soumam]

I think a faceplant demonstration would be of crucial importance

[ilegal95]

why does my elbows hurt when i put me knees am i doing it wrong?

[jesusisawesome123]

@ilegal95 probably not doin it wrong. my elbows hurt when i do too. but thats cuz i've got bad elbows

[penspinningart]

No it's alike turtle freeze in the breakdance!

[wisdometernal]

"I'm not gonna do a faceplant for ya here but..." lolol

[anirudhkrishnamani]

its a yoga asana :D

[OnlineCarly]

I call it the bookshelf :-/

[DamienKWelsh]

dude your a great help thnks

peace

[nanotek2711]

i can do frog stand to headstand then handstand and nike kick (cool combo) LOL

[Unselective]

oh its called a frog stand, i used to do this when i was 8

[tarboar]

I used to hold this for about 4 minutes when I was 3, but now that I'm 7 I do 1 armed planche pushups

[wowwoawubbzy]

Yes, do this now

[richardm80]

what's the difference between a frogstand and a crane pose in yoga?

[kragger1985]

gettin bad pains in the wrists !!!!

[whodoyouthinkiam]

ok im fifteen, i have been doing handstands since i was like six, i learned how to do those before this but i am going to do this so i can have better balance and stay uo longer. i can do about 2 vertical pushups without losing balance or a wall, so really u can learn handstands before frogstand. :)

[tarboar]

ok im five, i have been doing planche pushups since i was 2, i learned how to do those before i learned how to walk so i can have better balance and stay uo onger. i can do over 9000 1 armed handstand pushups without losing balance or a wall, so really u can learn to do planche pushups before walking, :)

[whodoyouthinkiam]

lolz

[OhplsAndrew]

@tarboar LAWL gay

[demandyx1]

so your not supose to put your head down

[MrGiriga]

your knees needs to be BEHIND your elbows not NEXT to em, try that and see how "easy" it is

[HerrSchenkel]

Actually, I'm just now learning to do this (the longest I can balance is 15 seconds), and while putting my knees behind my elbows does require more strength, I find it a lot easier to balance. If I have them beside my elbows, I tend to fall backwards with no way to lean forward again before my toes touch the ground.

[tharealnazim]

@MrGiriga no... frogstand is your knees in your elbow

what you're talking about is ADVANCED frogstand

[azuresformerlyvuze]

hey is this a power move?

[elegantdouchebag]

Didn't quite understand it, did he say if you put more weight on your finger tips it's easier to keep the balance?

[jlavileze]

press with the fingertips to underbalance

[twilightfreak119]

This dude's hair is longer than mine!LOL hes hot!

[BriBalance]

good tutorial!

[YungbloodBboy]

is this like a sex move or something?

[innit27]

cheers this will be a good intro one to learn

[trikstar198]

[TalhaKhanCA]

You're a fucking idiot, frog stand is a planche-like training stance so yes there is a frogstand.

[trikstar198]

[Scalawag720]

Man, this is killer on my wrists. Any suggestions? Maybe i'm not quite doing it right? Or maybe that's just how it goes when you first start?

[bryarworship]

practice doing handstands with your feet resting on a wall

keep trying that until your wrists are used to the weight

[Scalawag720]

thanks!

[fattboydan]

I did it and it didn't hurt, you must be doing it wrong

[lordmind]

frogs dont stand like that. Not even the legless ones.

[l0lliepop]
