Alvaro Antolinez Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Wow , great job! 10min straight!. How long can you hold a wall handstand? I am at 3 min and can only make 1 min wall runs, and then only the first time, it falls pretty fast to 30 sec or less. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Sjolin Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Wow Erik, 10 minutes straight? That's insane! Congratulations! How did you progress until that? Doing several 1min sets and increasing hold time each week until 10minutes?I was stuck at about 2 minutes for what feels like half a year (before that, I was struggling just to make it to 30 seconds). After that, I increased my hold times by 30s to 1min every month or whenever I felt ready.Wow , great job! 10min straight!. How long can you hold a wall handstand? I am at 3 min and can only make 1 min wall runs, and then only the first time, it falls pretty fast to 30 sec or less. :shock:Not that long, actually. :oops: A static wall HS is probably only about that, 3 min (never timed it).

Alen Buljubasic Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'm confused with the wall runs...so if I want to increase my strength in HSPU all I do is wall run? what about doing HeSPU (on a wall) with a vest? and when hiting lets say 10 reps I increase ROM little by little untill I can do HSPU with that same vest? or is it really more benefical to try to do 10 min wall run? has anyone achieved 10 minutes? and if so how many reps did you gain on HeSPU on the wall?

seiyafan Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Can wall run be done with back facing the wall or it's better to have stomach facing the wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Slocum Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 It seems to me that chest to the wall would be a superior position because it is closer to the position you would press from, and back to the wall might encourage excessive back arching. Is there a particular reason you want to do it back to the wall instead of chest to the wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's a mental thing that when you don't have to worry about falling forward when you do the wall run to failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seiyafan Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 If I am not strong enough to do wall run, can I do a similar version of it with both feet elevated on a box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Bolz Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Which area of the traps will that exercise emphasize? Would HS Wall runs combined with Pull ups cover the whole trap? Upper, middle and lower area? Friend of mine has been doing it for one or two month and in that period never worked on his freestanding handstands (which he could not do before). One day he just kicks into a handstand and holds it for a minute, just had complete control over it. Out of nothing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Stemler Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Thanks for this thread. We hope to bring these in as staged practices for our level 3 trainees. Great feedback and guidance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Davies Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Question: Should I be engaging my traps and shrugging my shoulders towards my head? Because the one way I feel it working in my traps, and it slows the transitions down, but the other way (with relaxed traps) I can feel a lot of work in my rear delts / rotator cuff area. I'm assuming engaging the traps would be better, or more like a freestanding handstand should be, but can anyone else see the benefits of working both?

Jon Douglas Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I believe the focus should be on that elevation and increasing the load by removing one support arm while maintaining it. Carries over well to press work. The shoulder conditioning might not feel like the focus doing it this way, but obviously there is still pressure on the shoulder-- while you don't feel it as much the endurance def increases alongside.In summary, train the elevation so that you get both 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Davies Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Yeah, thinking about it, training both would just develop bad habits as I'd be learning to go slack when my traps started getting tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Douglas Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Begun 6th May, done twice a week... one month to get to the halfway point today of 5mins on, 2 off, 2.20 on (went for three but my feet were asleep and felt weird )I think the next five minutes will be easier to get than the first. Determined, and planning to break 6/2/2 later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Douglas Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 GO Jon! You have until 23:59 hours on Friday... An 8 minute unbroken set today next week I'll shoot for 9, then the big target.... Edit;Side lever pulls appear to be improving almost directly with these. Like, strikingly more comfortable and easy in harder body positions. It's very cool. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 ahahah 8 minutes. it is an eternity.just form my interest, are you feeling strange when you come down from the wall? e.g. when i do 2 min free hs and I come down i can see glittering points in the air..and other things like that, i think it is connected with blood moving up and down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pressure in my head or anything, no seeing stars, the real issue for me is feet! My feet/ankles lose blood around 5-6 minutes and feel weird, and I came down because it was getting a bit uncomfortable (at 8; I could've kept on maybe another 30-60 otherwise). I admit with todays PB I had to stop and sit down for a moment to get my breath back afterwards, before going on to press HS work 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Douglas Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Finally got my ten minute set There were a few times I had to pause to catch my breath, but all pauses were done with one hand on the ground. Did them touching around my sternum, so reps took about 2-3 seconds each.Nine minutes just refused to happen for the past couple weeks, so today I decided to go ahead and test myself. Not, frankly, as hard as I thought it would be. Several times I nearly came down, but just sticking it out really isn't so bad. The mind is not in possession of all the facts Check back with me in 6-8 weeks when the adaptions start really kicking in, I will hopefully have some cool progress stories My progression by time--10mins handstand wall runs-- begun 22/4/20141 min on, 1 min off = 5 mins Cleared 6/5/20141.5 on, 2 off x 3 = 4.5 mins Cleared 9/5/20142-2-1 13/5/20142-2-1.5-1 20/5/20142 min on, 2 min off x 3 = 6 mins Cleared 23/5/142.30, 2 27/05/142.40, 1.5 30/05/143, 2.10 3/06/143 min on, 2 min off x2 = 6 mins Cleared 6/06/145 min, 2 min off, 1.20 = 6.20 10/06/146 min on, 2 min off, 2 on = 8 mins 16/06/147 min on, 2 min off, 1 on = 8 mins 8 min on = 8 mins Cleared 20/06/149 min on = 9 mins10 min on = 10 mins 4/07/14 Edit;Note that it took me 2 months to break the 3 minute barrier, then only another month to 10.

Daniel Burnham Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I never did over 3 minute wall runs but I often did wall walks. was able to increase press strength tremendously with the walks. Before surgery I had planche press handstand, pike press and straddle press for reps. Always did struggle with balance endurance though. Great job on this Jon. Hope to work up to similar over the next year myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before surgery I had planche press handstand, pike press and straddle press for reps.I imagine you would, they're basically planche presses assisted enough to get serious volume in! How did you approach these, in terms of numbers/frequency? Did you weight them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Douglas Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 True. I guess you could go back and forth between wall pl and HS too, and work on keeping foot pressure to a minimum. Very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Burnham Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I wouldn't think there would be a need to weigh them as you could just move your hands further back and shoulders over hands during the walks. HS Planche walks. Or just give them a grueling tempo.I did for time with a pause low in planche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
