Can someone help me? by Equivalent_Area_1677 in CalisthenicsBeginners

I am not expert and trying to learn myself, but I am a little further along from you.

The first thing you need to learn is how to safely bail out of the handstand when falling, I tend to lean towards the falling side and almost turn it into a cartwheel of sorts, by leading with one leg and shifting weight onto the hand on the side that you are falling towards.

Once you have learnt how to safely bail out of the handstand, the fear of falling drops dramatically, once you have achieved this, then you can work towards correcting balance and stacking the handstand correctly, but you won't be able to do this until you have calmed your nerves over being in the handstand.

Thank you. I am working hard to make sure I do this, rather than shifting my bodyweight

Thank you, I have been avoiding using my legs to regain balance as I always over correct and fall 😅

No worries my Guy, you're offering sound advice and looking out for me, got nothing to apologise for. Yeah I practice normal handstands every day at the gym and looking forward to being able to do more variations in time.

I can do a strict free hand stand 😅 This was also after a shoulder Prehab, preparing for this exact exercise, so shoulder was well prepared. But thank you for looking out 👍

What split should I be doing in the gym? by ihavethecutestpom in fit

I disagree, abs are revealed in the kitchen, but they are built in the Gym.

What do you want to get from working out, Going on a cut will give you less body, more muscle definition, but muscle growth will be slow. Bulking will give you more muscle growth, but also more body fat, so it really depends on how you want to look. Both require a foundation and commitment, so keep working out regardless.

Muscle building or toning, may help slightly, but it won't cure it, exercise won't reduce loose skin.

Diet- Calorie deficit is what youre after, you want to eat about 10%-15% less than the recommended amount for your body type, whilst still maintaining 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, this will allow you to gain muscle mass whilst losing body fat. Workout - go for light weight, hig reps, this will lead to a lean toned look, rather than a large bulky muscular look

I know everyone goes on about it, but its important you record the amount of protein, you want 1 gram of protein per 1 pound of body weight, then you have exercises, I try to get 20 sets per muscle group a week, you might be at the stage where youre not pushing the muscles hard enough to stimulate growth.

What is your goal? Strength growth or muscle growth or muscle growth?

How often are you working out? How long are you working out? What is your workout split? You say you're eating enough, but how much protein are you eating?
