Handstand Basics – Going Back to the Wall

By Andy Fossett

Chris doing a straddle handstand exerciseWhy did Ryan Hurst leave Sons of Anarchy? ‘Cause he just got his AARP card in the mail.

OK, so maybe Ryan’s not that old, but he did just turn 40, so I got to make a few cracks at him in this podcast. We also talked about stuff you actually care about too, like how to work additional skill training into a planned training program.

So get’yer ears on and listen up!

A few of the topics covered:

  • Two things you should NEVER do with a camera
  • Fedoras
  • How to learn the back tuck without a spotter
  • Can you really do a handstand?
  • Nailing the transition in the muscle-up

Links we discussed:

  • Ryan’s 40 back flips for 40 years
