the way I see it its probably better to skip the first two excercises and go straight on to freestanding hspu`s, even if they`re crap. No amount of wall work will give you the balance and control needed, and you can build the necessary strength as your going along, regardless. Cool video none the less.

@smeightytwo We're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. Thanks for sharing your opinion though.

Very cool series of exercises, but It might be worth mentioning that people with high blood pressure (i.e. me) should not do this particular one or other upside-down ones. It can lead to a stroke.

@jdsouza Thanks for the "heads-up" :)

[TheVindicatedOne]

so what did you do to build balance?

[alkavadlo]

@TheVindicatedOne Lots of practice! I have a tutorial just on handstands, btw. Search for it.  :)

@fataloptimist Thanks! I've got a couple "best of" vids that you can search for. I'll probably do another at some point.
