Time on Our Hands (2023/343)
As gymnastics and acrobatic coaches, we are always telling our gymnasts that the more time they spend on their hands, the happier we will be. You need a handstand for every piece of gymnastic apparatus, and for acrobatic gymnastics and performance we raise the bar to one-hand balance as well.
In this post we offer a variety of very fit guys performing handstands in different situations: most are pretty cool, one or two are reasonable first efforts but mis-shapen! We leave you to sort those out.
Beau tries hard in his planche...
...maybe aiming for this...
Interesting one from Yevgeny...
And a shaping exercise for the basic gymnast's handstand:
Training for swing to handstand on parallel bars:
Ordinary pix to finish off the post - rather random hand balances:
Hello, TONY!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog, including the articles on gymnasts and acrobats. Between August 2021 and December 2022, you offered us videos with the young Alexander Z. (Donbass / Ukraine), whose serious training and mischievous smiles at the end of the exercises I loved 👍🤸♀️🤗🥰! I haven't seen any videos of him for many months 😜😝🤯!... Do you know why, do you have any information regarding this "disappearance"? I would like to be reassured about its existence and its future. Thank you for your response, and keep it up!
Bonjour, TONY !
J'apprécie votre blogue, dont les articles sur les gymnastes et les acrobates. Entre Août 2021 et Décembre 2022, vous nous avez proposé des vidéos avec le jeune Alexander Z. (Donbass / Ukraine), dont j'aimais l'entraînement sérieux et les sourires malicieux en fin d'exercices 👍🤸♀️🤗🥰 ! Je ne vois plus de vidéos de lui depuis de nombreux mois 😜😝🤯 !... Savez-vous pourquoi, avez-vous des informations concernant cette " disparition " ? J'aimerais bien être rassuré sur son existence et son avenir. Merci pour votre réponse, et continuez comme cela !
