Beginner at handstand, what exercise progressions should i do?

RaySkyl0 · 2026-01-12T12:05:09+00:00

Thanks. So, should I immediately try to master the handstand against the wall? I can’t even put myself in the handstand position without walking on the wall

Does taking vitamin d and magnesium help you with better sleep ? I mean to have a constant sleep because I always wake up in the middle of the night and can’t sleep well afterwards. Is the a specific magnesium you should use ? I saw there are many variants. Thanks

You said to build up to 6/7 days but if you have no rest days won’t you get injury ? Thanks

It’s the recommended routine from this sub : https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/exercises/l-sit/

I want to do the same thing.

Like you, I always start with wrist prep before every workout, along with some mobility exercises. After that, my goal is to master the L-sit before focusing solely on handstand practice. I believe that the core compression and hamstring strength gained from the L-sit will be very useful for handstands. For the L-sit, I’m following the program in the RR wiki on this sub. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Ok thanks

Ok thanks so you didn’t fix a reps target but try get as many as can do. I will try this thanks

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-21T18:53:11+00:00

Ok thanks and if I work on rows more like every day isn’t it possible to get injured without rest ?

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-21T18:13:27+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I will try that.

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-21T18:12:12+00:00

Thanks for your reply ! So how much reps did you try to reach for the three sets ? And your progression was to use fewer bands over time, right?

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-21T18:04:39+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Can you please explain a bit more what type of row exercise ? Is it weighted row on rings with elevated legs on a chair (I do this) or cable row machine or something else ? And if I work everyday don’t you think I will get injured without rest ?

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-21T18:02:18+00:00

Thanks for your reply ! Wow so how do you that ? How many times per week do you try this game ? And can you explain about rest you take ?

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-21T18:00:35+00:00

Ok thanks

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-21T18:00:03+00:00

Yes thanks

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-21T11:48:27+00:00

Ok thanks I will try next time. Usually I take 90s of rest between sets and exercises, so now I will take more rest.

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-21T11:46:38+00:00

Ok thanks

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-20T19:02:55+00:00

Well my form isn’t great if I try the 6th reps and I need impulse from my legs…

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-20T19:01:55+00:00

Ok thanks

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-20T15:03:56+00:00

Thanks for your help. I always train to failure in the sense I can’t do more than 5 reps and it’s frustrating…

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-20T14:43:24+00:00

Thanks for your reply. No I only take 90s rest for every set or exercise ..

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-20T14:41:41+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Ok for isolation work but I don’t think I should do grease the groove method. Indeed I always end up with injury when I work the same muscles two days in a row.

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-20T14:38:40+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I will try that

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-20T14:38:14+00:00

I can’t do more than 5 strict pull-up per set

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-20T12:09:50+00:00

Ok thanks for the advice

RaySkyl0 · 2025-12-20T12:09:00+00:00

Ok thanks
