We all need a balanced lifestyle. Plenty training - yes, but other relaxations are important. For today's guys, however, their lifestyle IS balance, and training for the strength and agility which that requires. Mainly, but not exclusively, hand balancing.

We love acrobatic gymnasts where guys work together to create amazing balances and other combinations. We also try to develop basic handstands in anyone who trains in our vicinity! Today we celebrate the art - everything from 'just give it a try' to really getting the body shape and line perfect for gymnastics competitions. So, in no particular order, here we go! The Ossolodkov brothers - potential world champions" More of them... Let's support the kids... A planche is still a hand balance... Shape training - grind mode Which is correct - left or right? Your answer should be - LEFT! Here's the perfect shoulder line: This next is not really a handstand, but we like it... It's good to practice handstand walking - especially backwards like that! And this guy needs to work on his leg control...

 Handstands, head balance, and other stuff with the weight entirely supported on the hands. All signs of intensive training and hard work building strength... and training of course, is what we love to do! Enjoy these successes (well, mainly successes - there are some rather odd body shapes to be seen!)... That's Christiano Rujano from Venuzuela, working professionally in Spain now, and seen in the next vid with his dad as supporter... ...and more in training... That one, inverse handstand from manna, is impressive... you would normally see a final jump to turn the hands around, but he didn't need it! ...and, to finish this post, a different kind of balance challenge!
