I literally JUST started learning calisthenics. I’ve been trying to focus on getting my push-up and my pull-up. I’ve got my frog stand down pretty well. But every time I’m chilling anywhere I just get this urge to be doing a handstand or a frog pose no matter where I am. I can’t even do a handstand yet. Why does this happen 😭😭

Guys. I can scissor kick to handstand no problem these days. But I have an injury to my push off foot and can't bend the toes. I've been trying to kick off on the opposite leg and I fall straight on my head. Wtf. Any one else overcome this malfunction?

Does anyone else find this position/splits the easiest to hold? I will admit I was trying to get into a hollow back.

So I have been trying to get the handstand but I am unable to. I can hold chest to wall for a minute and I can even do toe taps and toe pulls. But I am unable to hold a free standing handstand. Any tips or advice?
I personally feel like my kick up is the issue and I have no clue how to improve on it but I am open to advice.

I've only practiced, but I'm not very good at it yet. Do you have any tips to help me lift my feet up?🫣

I started training for handstand push-ups when university and moved in my dorm there, training from August 5, 2026 to October 6 ,2026. My training style progression looks like this
I don't remember the exact rep count required before moving on to pike push-ups, but I chose this as my first exercise because it teaches your body how to lean your bodyweight forward and helps condition your wrist to handle your own weight before moving to the next progression
2) Pike push-ups
I can hit 8 clean reps with good form ,and I'm really proud of it. I train this to get used to leaning forward smoothly without feeling strained
3)Pike lift-off
standing on your tiptoes and walking my feet as close as possible to your hand as the base of support. I can currently do 1-2 reps
As for the remaining exercises such as
Elevated pike-push up(fourth exercise)
Negative handstand push-up(firth exercise)
and The full handstand push-up(sixth exercise),which are my ultimate goals I haven't reached them just yet.
What about you? Have you trained this movement or any other styles? Feel free to share and exchange tips

Saw this on Instagram and wanted to try. This is my first attempt. I will definitely try it again.
I was not sure if I should extend my legs or kick in tuck so I did a mix
Also, do you have an official name for this?

Cause always traning handstand maybe too offten
My left shoulder start to pop sounds when. I lift arm up front to 120 degree.
The sounds are loud and crisp
I also have mild soreness and stiffness in my left shoulder. Has anyone else experienced something similar? How did you resolve it? I'm very anxious and wondering if I should go to the hospital for a checkup and X-ray. Hospitals in Thailand are very expensive 🥲

2 months into learning handstands—caught about 3 seconds of freestanding balance today! 🤸♂️ Chasing a solid 5-second hold. Any tips on keeping my legs straight and controlling the arch?

Thank you guys I’ve been working on it for sometime now and can’t balance off fingertips. My hips slowly shift away I don’t understand how to stay balanced
