Get Strong Enough To Handstand
“If you lack the strength to hold yourself up, then you won’t be able to handstand.”
There’s no way to flower up that message, and for this reason, if you are unable to hold a handstand against a wall, this represents the biggest blocker to your ability to handstand, as no amount of kick up attempts can overcome this hurdle.
The good news though is that the question of how often to train handstands then becomes a lot simpler because strength training is just a matter of volume and progressive overload; working on building up our pushing ability over time, while ensuring that we are recovering well.
For this reason, the strength aspect of learning to handstand, I would recommend starting at 2-3 times per week, and this can be as simple as using assisted dips and push ups to build the global pushing strength needed to then be able to hold a handstand against a wall, but I’ll also link to my free Handstand strength workout below to help you get strong enough to handstand against the wall.
